Footnotes

From office appropriate to party chic, boots can be anything you want them to be.


Balmain’s Suede buckled ankle boots. Priced at £957.50. Available at www.netaporter.com

Chennai has no fall, no winter, but when it comes to following this hot fall trend that you just cannot afford to miss, we think you could just make do with air conditioning. While thigh high or knee high (also available at these stores) might be a little impractical and difficult to attempt, ankle boots can effortlessly be worked into your everyday wardrobe. Not to forget December happens to be our coldest month and also marks the beginning of the holiday season. So what’s keeping you from popping a pair and taking off on a Euro trip?
Psst! Retailers if you are listening, we would love to see pinks, purples and reds on the racks as well. The typical Chennai shopper today is anything but conservative.
