It’s that time of the year when you can whip out your boots, even though they may be faux leather thanks to the city’s humidity. And while solids are always your safest bet while opting for this footwear, with different lengths and embellishments available, printed ones have never really caught on.

“It’s because it’s tricky to find a pair of printed footwear that goes with anything. It can get challenging when it comes to boots because they already make a strong statement,” explains city-based stylist Niharika Pande.
Two celebrities — Taapsee Pannu and Yami Gautam — who opted for printed boots recently, and while one pulled off the retro chic look, the other looked too OTT. Gautam, who wore a short, blue printed pair with embellishments when she walked the ramp, made it the hero of her outfit, says Pande, explaining why the look worked.
