The men's boot for the season > Men's Shoes & Boots > Blog

Fashion has always been a passion of mine, however; lately I find myself now very interested in men's fashion.  I love these boots, fashion forward yet understated of course Burberry is a hallmark for such things.



Re-blog: The Men's Boot of the Season, Fashionising



"It's the men's boot for the Autumn / Fall 2010 season. It's from Burberry. It's got overtones of aviator-cool, with a shearling lining that is going to turn heads. It's perfect for the redefined men's military fashion trend. And it's a work of art."

Trend: Future Warrior

reblogged fashion trends article
Written by Tania Braukamper


"...A combination of the military fashion trend and the more savage side of the tribal fashion trend, the new warrior leaves the formal and decorated style of military detailing behind. The ancient world is at the centre of this trend - from ancient Rome, to Egypt, to the Celtic warrior woman. To bring the look into 2010, the historical elements are modernised or melded with futuristic twists."
