Leather boots can get BO-RING. After all, everyone owns a pair — it’s a wardrobe staple. Instead, look for boots with a different kind of texture, like velvet, satin, or lace. (Bloch loves pairing satin boots with a long gown for more formal affairs.) Or find a boot with a great pattern, like this quilted texture.
