Spring may have arrived but it’s not quite warm enough to abandon shoes and boots altogether. April showers may mean you get caught on the hop and end up with wet feet if you’re not careful!

Plus size women will have no doubt experienced trouble finding boots which fit comfortably around their calves. Be prepared for spring showers and ready for this autumn and winter by taking full advantage of the wonderful knee length boots which have been designed especially for those who don’t have ultra skinny calves!

Black boots are probably the most versatile colour and of course you should opt for genuine leather to help prevent excess perspiration and to provide adequate water resistance. For those who are opposed to wearing animal skin will be able to choose ‘Vegan’ boots made from ‘pleather’ which is a plastic with a leather appearance.

Knee length boots are ideal for wearing with gypsy skirts for a trendy look or tucked into jeans when it’s raining really hard! Choose styles which are designed with the latest pointed toes, but not winkle picker styles unless you are trying to create a vintage revival look!

As the rain diminishes ankle boots are trendy and stylish to wear with trousers and jeans, alternatively designers have created wonderful peep toe shoe boots. These are perfect for wearing with trousers or jeans for a chic and elegant look.

Fringes are being seen on all clothes and footwear this season. Ankle boots with fringe detail offer a comfortable and modern look which are perfect for wearing with either skirts or jeans.

As the warmer days approach move from boots into shoes and sandals which also have fringe detailing for a sassy and chic look. Soft leather toe posts with a fringed ankle strap in beige or a neural tone will tone beautifully with all styles of summer wear, from skirts and dresses to linen trousers and shorts.

Being a big and beautiful women does not mean you have to compromise on style. Many designers and fashion gurus are well aware that the average British women is not the tiny sizes seen on the catwalks!

Wide fittings and larger than average sizes in all styles of footwear are now becoming more easy to find in the high street and online. Choose online retailers which specialise in plus size clothing for the latest fashion looks. Many also have foot and calf measuring videos to ensure your shoes or boots are the appropriate size.
