Flat Out: Style your Tartan Boots

Here in Scotland we are officially into Autumn, and the weather has really taken a turn for the worse (or the good if you're a fan of colder temperatures), so naturally we are thinking about the warmer outfits we are going to wear over the next few months. At the top of my list every October is a new pair of winter boots and this year ScotlandShop have the perfect pair for you, our Zip Up Ankle Boots. Swap out your heels for a flat pair of boots and your morning coffee rush or commute is sorted. Today I am going to show you the different ways you can style these gorgeous flats, giving you with all the inspiration you could ever need.

Jeans and a Nice Top (with Tartan Boots of course)

It is always a dilemma when you have a night on the town planned with your friends (or in the current climate a drink on the patio wrapped in a blanket!), but you aren't sure what the dress code is. A safe bet is always to team up a pair of jeans and a nice top, and why not take that a step further by wearing a pair of boots in a matching tartan to your top? Choosing a top and shoes in the same colour is a great way to effortlessly co-ordinate your outfit. You will definitely have the dress code sorted with this stand out ensemble. You are in luck as the Baird Modern Tailored Top is actually in the sale, so be quick or you might miss out!

What could be better to pair with your gorgeous tartan boots, than a cosy winter jacket? Our Kate Coat mixes luxury with practicality, so that you can throw this coat on and look just as stylish as Kate Middleton herself while also staying warm. Choose to have your Kate Coat made in a matching tartan to your Tartan Boots and you will instantly look put together. The beauty of the Kate Coat and Tartan Boots combo is that it can go with any outfit, my personal preference would be a Tartan Mini Kilt and a Lambswool Sweater for ultimate warmth, you can then add knitwear accessories in one of the tartans main colours to really beat the chill.

Practical yet fashionable

The great thing about our Tartan Boots is that they are so versatile, fabulous dressed up for a night out or paired with a cheeky mini kilt, or making just as much of a statement worn with a pair of jeans. The ideal option if you like to wear more comfy and practical clothes on a day-to-day basis, but still want to look on trend. In our mood board we have paired the Scotland Forever Boots with a Cape in a matching tartan and we have co-ordinated the Baird Modern Boots with our Longline Jacket, in the same tartan. We've chosen the Scotland Forever and Baird Modern tartans to pair with jeans, but honestly we think you could make any of our tartans work with the staple piece.

Merry MacLachlan

Of course the most exciting (and magical) things about this time of year is the anticipation of Christmas! A lot of us spend a great deal of time thinking about what to wear on Christmas day, something versatile for sitting cross-legged and opening gifts with the little ones, comfortable enough for that post lunch family walk and smart enough to make a statement on this special day. We have you covered this year with our MacLachlan inspiration. There is nothing that screams Christmas more than tartan and we think the MacLachlan tartan is the perfect choice with its gorgeous rosy red hues, full of Christmas spirit. Pair your MacLachlan Modern Tartan Boots with a cosy, comforting sweater and either a cute little mini skirt or a pair of on trend culottes. If you've got your eyes on the culottes be quick as we only have a few pairs left in stock and once they're gone, they're gone!

New York, New York

Top style tip: wear a sweater in one of the colours that appear in the tartan. These flat boots work so well with a mini kilt in a matching tartan and a cosy Lambswool Sweater. Although it may be slightly early, the colours of the New York tartan are so lovely and bright that I think this would be a great transitional outfit for when we are starting to move into spring but the weather is still on the cool side. You could even wear this to march down 5th Avenue on Tartan Day in New York next April!

We hope we have given you some food for thought when choosing your Autumn/Winter outfit this year, and if you do purchase yourself a pair of Tartan Boots we would love to see how you choose to style them, so be sure to email us a picture or tag us on Instagram.
