All denim clothing items, with the exception of trousers
In the world of fashion, finding the perfect outfit can be a challenge, especially when it comes to balancing style and comfort. One such conundrum is styling tall black boots with a non-tight, modest denim dress, similar to the Reformation Kendi Denim Dress. Here's a guide to help you navigate this fashion dilemma.
Finding the Right Dress
The key to success lies in balancing the silhouette. Opt for a denim dress with a relaxed or slightly A-line shape that falls just above or around the knee, avoiding anything body-hugging or too short.
Choosing the Right Boots
Pair the dress with sleek tall black boots—knee-high or just below the knee—with either a slight heel or flat, depending on your preference for comfort and style.
Layering with Outerwear
Add sophistication without compromising the dress's modesty by layering with a structured coat. Leather trench coats or suede wrap coats are excellent choices.
Accessorising with Textures
Accessories such as a belt to define the waist subtly or chunky knitwear over or under the dress for cooler weather can help maintain an effortless look.
Completing the Look
For a casual vibe, complement the dress and boots with a simple long cardigan or denim jacket. For evening, a slouchy shoulder bag, like the Polene Paris Umi Bag priced at $495.00, helps complete the outfit.
Key Style Points
- Avoid tight or revealing denim styles; opt for a modest, roomy fit.
- Tall black boots can be either heeled or flat for versatility.
- Outerwear like leather trench coats or wool wraps add class and warmth.
- Accessories such as belts and bags should complement without overwhelming.
This combination gives a polished yet approachable look that respects the dress’s modest cut while making the tall boots a focal point.
