Combat Boots with Gender Neutral Pieces in Soft Colors

Free People Catalog, January 2011

Combat boots add an edgy-but-not-over-the-top look to an outfit, as long as they are paired with the right clothing. As with anything über-masculine, pair combat boots with soft feminine pieces (pieces made of chiffon, lace, silk, or ruffled pieces), or gender neutral pieces in soft colors. Another great way to soften combat boots is to wear socks with a lace ruffle that peeks over the top of the boot. To add even more edge, try wearing a leather vest over an ultra-feminine dress or shirt.
