One of the big trends this season are exposed zippers. Zippers are everywhere. Zippers on jeans. Zippers on boots. Zippers on handbags. Zippers on jackets. This is a fun trend but the wearer needs to be very careful when wearing this zipper trend not to add unwanted bulk or draw the eyes to the thighs, hips, waist, bust, etc. Wear the zipper where you want to draw the eye.
The ankle boots and pumps with exposed zippers are a great way to wear the trend. However, there are some cheap looking shoes out there with exposed zippers that just look trashy. You want to wear the zipper, not have it wear you.
My solution is to look for a shoe like this Leala Bootie from one of my favorite designers, Donald Pliner. These mid heel ankle boots have an exposed zipper, and a beautiful style that will complement any foot and construction for comfort all day.
This richly textured croco leather bootie is constructed with elastic panels along the sides for a comfortable fit. The leather lining and sole are elegant and breathable.
