Dicker boots: Isabel Marant’s new hit

If Prada holds the spotlight when it comes to clothing trends, currently in footwear the name is Isabel Marant. The French brand, which intelligently combined the sneaker’s street style with the femininity of the heel, making it a fever among fashionistas, brought yet another successful model for women’s shoes, the Dicker boot.

Launched in the summer 2011 collection, it is characterized by a textured suede short boot with a Cuban heel (similar to Texan boots).

Even in 2012, the model remains biased on the feet of celebrities who have guaranteed its production continuity until today, such as Katie Holmes, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Kate Bosworth, Sienna Miller, Diane Krueger, among other fans who demonstrate the versatility of the boot, whose use is not needs to be restricted to cold days or even to agro-events.

The range of combinations that the dicker boot makes possible is one of the essential reasons why the model remains in Isabel Marant’s current production; emphasizing that it was launched in the summer 2011 collection, having already surpassed about 2 years on the market, and it is likely that it will continue for a few more.

The rustic style of the boot calls for more unpretentious looks, which mix styles so that the look is not caricatured, since the biggest mistake of those who use the model is to rely on the country style to dress. Coordinating styles is simpler than it appears, especially when the key production item, in this case the dicker, allows for greater variability in combinations.

Long dresses, midis, short dresses, skirts, shorts, leggings, skinny pants, among other pieces that can be used with boots demonstrate how versatile the model is; as well as inserting it in romantic looks (with lace pieces and/or with delicate features), sports (with the use of knitted clothes), casual (with overlays, shirts) and tailoring (overlaying blazers, for example).

As with most trends, there are restrictions on usage. When used by people with short and/or thick legs, for example, like all short boots, it tends to flatten the silhouette, becoming a negative point.

But that doesn’t mean there aren’t ways to use it. Wearing pants with a tighter fit and the same color as the boot, opting for dresses, skirts and shorts with dark tights, are styling tricks that allow you to elongate the silhouette and circumvent the limitations of use.
