Boats are shoes without clasps and straps, standing on heels or wedges with a sharp, rounded or open toe. The forerunners for the creation of today's boats were the open-type men's shoes that appeared in the 15th century.
In the twentieth century, shoes acquired grace, sophistication and feminine elegance due to the presence of a pointed toe and stiletto. Roger Vivier made a valuable contribution to the formation of shoes. It is precisely his merit that is the presence in these shoes of a stud and a pointed sock.
For a passionate love for boats Vivier got the nickname "King of studs".
Charming Marilyn Monroe erected shoes in the rank of the most attractive and feminine and sexy. At that time, the height of the studs already reached 10 centimeters.
Later, when the “Twist” dance appeared, the shoes changed a bit - a rounded cape appeared, and the heel height became lower.
Fashion House Chanel presented to the world attractive shoes with socks of various colors in the shoe itself. This model has become very popular and won great love among women.
Modern shoes, shoes are presented in a huge variety of shapes and colors, and the materials from which they are made, easily combined with a variety of outfits.
What to wear?
In order to form an ensemble correctly and harmoniously, it is necessary to become familiar with the rules for combining boats with the rest of the wardrobe items. Black boats allow you to create a maximum of stylish combinations. It is best to wear black boats with classic dresses and business suits of dark shades.
White shoes will be a great addition to gentle flirty outfits. You can create a romantic image using a light pastel dress and chic white or pumps.
Shoes of a beige shade surpass in the number of combinations even the boats of black color. With their help, you can dilute the image, thereby avoiding the effect of "congestion" with various parts.
Red pumps perfectly match with jeans and evening ensembles. When making an ensemble for an evening out, the main thing is to use the minimum number of accessories.
It is best to combine court shoes with a pointed sock with evening dresses or office suits. Comfortable shoes with a rounded cape will be the best option for everyday wear.
But despite the universality of the boats, there are small nuances that need to be considered so as not to spoil the whole image:
- Fingers should be completely covered. If they "look out", even the most competently composed ensemble will be spoiled.
- In no case can not be combined pumps and clothes in sporty style!
- If there is a pair of worn-out boats in the wardrobe, it is better to refuse them. Not only is it not safe to wear worn-out shoes, such a combination will completely destroy the effect of elegance.
- It is not recommended to wear socks with shoes, this combination looks ridiculous.
Heel height
The heel of the boat shoes is either a stud or thin, tapering to the bottom. The heel height for boats varies from 3 (ballet shoes) to 12 centimeters (cocktail boats).
Certainly, stiletto heels look feminine and attractive, however, for ladies who cannot wear high heels, it is better to pay attention to models with a low heel. Such shoes look no worse, besides they will relieve their possessor of unpleasant sensations and an absurd appearance when walking. And, frankly, high studs are not suitable for every exit.
Tall ladies can afford to wear the shoes even on a 12-centimeter stud. The fact is that the design and style of the boats is made so that they are not able to weight. But this does not mean that undersized young ladies should choose for themselves shoes with the highest heels.
The optimal height of the stud for low girls is 8 centimeters.
Lifting shoes may also be different. If the boats are planned to be worn in the office throughout the day, it is better to choose a model with a low lift. Otherwise, the legs will be tired.
