10 Dapper Shoe Styles That Will Help You Look Awesome This Winter

Just as you feel that nip in the air, your consciousness strikes you about two things, woollens and shoes. While you’ll be having, and buying, a multitude of attractive winter clothing, the footwear mostly stays the same. A single pair of shoes doesn’t really go with every attire that you’ll be wearing. Will you wear your pair of stilettoes to a movie or for that matter in your morning walk? Nope! And, for that, you need a pair of shoes to help you rock at different occasions. Lucky for you, I bumped into an amazing site called Kraftly and found a plethora of amazing shoes that will help you look effortless and charming. Here are listed, some of my favourite ones:

Suede Love

Suede is an amazing winter loving fabric that shines out at any casual occasion. Whether it’s a college reunion or a shopping spree at the local flea, a pair of tan/beige suede boots will always help you to stand out. These flock boots will look simply stunning with a pair of denim or dark pants, and a leather jacket or a long coat.

Comfy Runners

A great pair of runners should always adorn your shoe-rack. These are the ones which you can simply jump on and good to go. They come in a myriad of colours and prints, so it will always be easier for you to match them up with any of your outfits, even with your shorts. Wrap up your feet this winters with these cushiony runners in red and prints.

A great fashion accessory for the workaholics, you can earn extra brownie points at your next presentation just because you were wearing them!

Buy it here

Punk Boots

Black, embellished, slight grungy yet cool black boots are mostly a unique choice for girls. But, to complete that slick biker or the girl-not-to-be-messed look, this is what you need. These highly sturdy and firm looking black boots are perfect for those outdoor weekend parties in winter. Some of the similar varieties come with other embellishments, which are easily customizable. Wear them, kick ass

Buy it here

Sleek Knee-highs

Your feet and lower legs are the delicate areas in winters. They are more prone to be exposed to the harsh weather, as a result of which you become easy prey of viral fever. If you’re already dreading the past year when you spent the majority of the winter lying on your bed with a running nose and watching sitcoms, here’s a flash bomb – get yourself these fabulous knee-high shoes. Protect your feet and add a glamorous touch to your outfit at the same time.

But it here

  

Golden Crush

Shimmering shades of gold in any outfit results in a super gorgeous look. If you’ve already tried the bling in your accessories, nail paints and make-up, it’s time to give these glittery gold high kicks a shot. If you’re one of those who likes to go with single tones of colours, these shiny pairs of high heel canvas shoes will be totally worth it. Pair it up with skinny denim or leggings and take your glam appeal a notch above.

Buy it here

Smart Oxfords

Oxfords and similar lace tying shoes come in fashion as the winter season approaches. They give a super smart look to your entire wardrobe. A pair of black or grey oxfords is a normal choice for both girls and guys, but if you really like to stand out go for a classic tan pair. The shoes pictured here also contains some prints which add a bit of swag. Roll up your trousers and put on your little ankle socks and walk the town in style!

Colorful Loafers

Just like the oxfords, loafers are another favourite shoe styles to be worn during winter. Easy to wear, these give a sophisticated and compelling look to your outfit. Whether you’re sporting a denim or chinos, a contrasting loafer will always help you to stand out. Apart from the general black and browns, go for a colourful one instead. This one will look flawless even with any light-colored types of denim or trousers.

Buy it here

Classic White Canvas

No one can deny the fact how attractive a pair of white canvas shoes look and how seamlessly it up heaves your entire outfit. When looked from a distance, it is normally the shoe that captivates a person’s attention. I know the major sports brands are ruling the front in sneakers game, but you can shop for these unbranded white slip-on canvas shoes, which isn’t far behind in terms of durability and high style value.

Buy it here

Firm Outdoors

Winter is also the time when you’d probably wish to go out for treks in the beautiful hill stations. With all the moisture and dew out there, the soil gets slippery and your average sports shoes will not be able to bear the brunt. Why not try these dashing boots for a while? As hulking and durable they are, they also don't compromise on the style factor. Run, climb and jump with super ease with these tough boots. Pair them with khakis or denim and enjoy your vacation in style.

Teach Your Child A Bit Of Violence To Save Lives!

It is Children's Day today, and we must really break-free some inhibitions that restrict parents from letting their child come in contact with visual violence. Here are some ways in which you can be a part of your child's mental growth and shape it the way every concerned parent would want to. It is important to teach our kids the values, moral responsibilities and decision making habits for a bright future and it is also important to stop them for a second and guide them, answer their questions and practice spending time with them.

Let's talk about teaching our kids about visual, graphic content in the right manner!

Comics

Source

Let your kids roll into the world of Phantom, Batman and Mandrake the Magician! The exposure to comics in early ages has given birth to some of the great artists, worldly-wise and creative souls. Before you know, they'd become the first critics to X-men or Avengers Series. They'd know the difference and similarities of Marvel & DC characters. And they'd turn out to be highly imaginative all throughout their lives. They'd even learn about violence, to protect the world.

Action Figures

Source

Let them rule their little world with the real interpretations of their comic characters with  action figures. Show them how to win a battle or forgive the wrong-doings, learn from the stories behind their lives and open their minds to endless possibilities of inventiveness.

RAW

Source

Let them watch WWE! Yes! You heard me right! Let them watch WWE! (But, of course at a certain age). Show them the journey of wrestlers like Brock Lesnar, Rick Flair, Goldberg et al. Ask them to explore the wrestlers in real life. Inspire them to eat right and be fit. Talk about the importance of family and teach them that all of this is just work. They do it for a living, to serve their family.

Movie Collection

Source

The way Stan Lee visualized a parallel universe of fictional characters, let your kids learn the art of creating stories. Stories that revolutionize the world when told! Gift them the best of the lot movie collections. From Fantastic 4 to Iron Man, Spider man to Lego Marvel Avengers and sit back and enjoy with them. Let them learn how to win over a battle!

My Precious!!!

Source: Kraftly

Gift them a little souvenir occasionally. Let them know you appreciate their interests and are there to award their rightful decisions every time. Even though it might not be a life-changing experience, it will still help them to choose the right path.

Television 

Source

Accustom your child to watch what's visually right. They might find the hep' visuals a bit luring but it is you who needs to switch their attention to the enlightening content on the television. You can choose to lock the channels, but then, they would come back to it, when they can. So let them watch what they want and if you are not happy with it, tell them what's wrong with it. Make it a habit to be around them, perhaps at a distance to monitor their TV hours.

Series & Sexuality

Source

Visual violence in some of the most popular series is quite predominant these days. And it's okay to be aware of it. So is, being aware of sexual content. But! Only after they are in the right frame of mind, have reached the age well enough to understand puberty & growth.

It will be a bit of a turmoil and hard work at first to inform your child about it and a high possibility that they already know about it. Yet, you must "talk"!

Deaths & Drastic Consequences

Source

It is important to let your child know about the serious repercussions of over-viewing, over-analyzing and over-aggressive content that they are watching or viewing in comics, on television, online or in-real.

It is our responsibility to watch over the actions of our kids and protect them at all times. But, it is also the responsibility of a child to protect self and others around him/her.

Violence is never a solution, harming others is not a solution. We must not fight over religion, caste, money, governments with stones and sticks. There's always a peaceful alternative to the most violent actions.

But, if a woman is in distress, our children must act. If someone is on the verge of being harmed, our children must act. If an old couple is harassed in their home, our children must act. If wives are being beaten ruthlessly, our children must act. If anyone is being robbed or duped, our children must act. If lives are at a threat, our children must act!

Teach them self-defense and tell them to defend the ones in need!

Happy Children's Day my Future Babies!

See you soon,
