How to style the Luella boots

While speaking to Briefly News, Zoë van Stavel, who works as a junior stylist for a local magazine, gave some fashion tips on how to style the boots, noting that she would do so in an elegant and feminine way by pairing them with a fitted chocolate brown dress, one of this winter's most stylish shades.

The fashion expert, who saw the pair of shoes worn at brunch or a stylish date night, added that she would keep the boots as a simple standout piece.

"For colder days, a simple coat adds warmth without taking away from the look. Complete the outfit with dainty gold jewellery and a small shoulder bag for a polished finish."
