Fall 2009 Shoe Trends: Booties – Cutout & Peep-Toes
Booties are another popular shoe trend we’ll be seeing a lot of. Just visit sites like Piperlime and zappos.com
and you’ll see a large variety of cute little booties. Anything from leather, suede, patent leather, fur and more. Wedge heels, stiletto heels, flats, and platforms. You’ll also find an abundance of styles that incorporate the other trends like studs, ruffles, buckles, fringe and more.
Two additional styles you’ll see on booties, that you won’t find anywhere else is cutout booties
and peep-toe booties
.
I’m sure your mother has told you that chopping off your legs at the ankle is unflattering, but please ignore her advice. Booties really became a big trend last year, and they promise to stick around for another season. The bootie has really become a bit of a Fall wardrobe staple at this point.
Booties can work for almost anyone. Be careful if you are very short or have stocky legs. Everyone else should definitely get a pair of booties this Fall. You can wear them with skirts, dresses, and even shorts with tights – a look that is very popular this season. Booties really rough up an ensemble like no other shoe can and they give your outfit the edge it needs. They are perfect to pair with leather leggings as well.
When choosing a new pair of booties, aim for something dramatic and unique. Pairing them with any neutral or basic outfit will completely transform your look into something special. This is one trend you must try, and with so many affordable booties this year, you can’t afford not to.

What do you think of the choices I picked above? Would you like to see less expensive choices or more comfort-friendly choices??
I don’t like my toes, so I guess the peep-toes are a no-no this season!
Too bad! They are cute.
I’m still not sure of the peep toe into the fall. I know it’s in all the magazines but I’m not sure how to wear it? Do I wear them with stockings or tights? And the booties…do I wear them with leggings and dresses?
Yeah you can totally wear peep toe booties with stockings, knee socks, tights, leggings or dresses. Even skinny jeans.
Bare feet or non-visible peds with dresses or skirts. Cold days, wear cropped leggings, bare ankles/feet and skirts, tunics or dresses.
With tights, knee socks or stockings with dresses, skirts or shorts.
Or you can wear them with skinny jeans either rolled up, right at the ankle, cropped, or ankle jeans with zippers.
So many possibilities. The only thing I wouldn’t wear peep toe booties with is bootcut or any other jeans that have a wider leg and will hide the cuteness of the shoe.
i really love these peep-toes, in the past i use to feel peep toe boots are just not ideal but as the say the “taste of the pudding is in tthe eating” now, i have a few now and i love them, and these studs have really enchaned it’s beauty.
