Having fun with fashion is one of the best parts about personal style. And, of course, there are few times of the year where personal style is on fuller inspirational display than during Fashion Month. The fashion set has brought their A game, showing everyone exactly how we're going to be wearing all of those runway-ready trends in real life. While we're stopping short of actual "camp," we're still making a nod toward this year's Met Gala and Costume Institute theme, pairing high with low and masculine with feminine and opting for the whimsy nine-and-a-half times out of 10. In short? We're not taking ourselves too seriously, and there couldn't be a more perfect time to embrace the sentiment.
One of the biggest street style trends that has begun to emerge this season is the pairing of chunky creeper-style boots and shoes with ultragirlie dresses. Whether they are flowy, babydoll-inspired, bright pink, or vintage in style, some of our favorite trendsetters are embracing the masculine-meets-feminine trend in a way that complements their apparel on both ends of the spectrum. Ahead, find six ways we can't wait to style the trend and how we're shopping for it right now.
Make one of the biggest trends of the season (Victorian-style babydoll dresses!) a little more edgy with chunky-sole ankle boots.
Mix bright whites and deep blacks for a feminine-meets-masculine vibe you'll love.
Go bright with a hot pink midi dress and tone it down a tiny bit with some black and white Underground Creepers.
Make the most vintage-inspired of looks a little more modern by mixing it up with chunky kicks.
Channel all things '90s with a plaid or checked dress and creeper-style boots.
Go streamlined and classic on top and kick-ass on the bottom.
Make a summertime dress fit for Fall with an ankle boot that carries more weight than your warm-weather sandal.
Layer up with a slip dress and tee, grounding the boudoir-inspired look with a pair of chunky-soled boots.
Bring your hemline and boot height closer and closer with a midi dress and higher mid-calf chunky boots to style with.
Go all-black for an edgy look that reaches head to toe.
Go over-the-top dramatic with a full-skirted silhouette, made of a brightly colored metallic tone.
