We saw satin heeled sandals and other types of satin shoes trending at the start of Summer and it looks like that trend is going to carry through right into the Fall, as satin booties are now trending. I wasn't quite sure how I felt about satin ankle boots when I first learned of this trend, but as I've combed the web searching for different styles, I think I'm slowly getting on board.

Hardly a new style, satin boots have been around since at least the mid-1800s, a shoe of choice among Victorians. You can find such antique boots in varying heights ranging from just below the ankle to mid-calf. They lace up and button up and come in solid colors or floral brocade patterns. They're decorated with beading and embroidery, and yes, even tassels. Victorians were into details.
But, over the years the gorgeous Victorian variety of satin boot went out of fashion and was replaced in the 1970s with the beyond tacky, satin, disco-era, platform boot. *shudder* I suppose the image of the gaudy, elevator shoe/glam-rock version of these boots is what frightened me about the trend when I first learned of it. However, fear not, my friends, as there are plenty of non-terrifying options out there if you want to get in on the satin bootie trend.
