High fashion and rubber boots – impossible, or simply perfection?
As someone who lives and breathes fashion, I always strive to balance style with comfort. And trust me, when you find something that ticks both boxes, it feels like you’ve struck gold. Enter Acquo of Sweden – a brand that’s redefining what rubber boots can be. Yes, you heard me right, rubber boots!
You might think they’re only for rainy days, but let me introduce you to two incredible styles that prove rubber boots can be just as chic as your favorite pair of heels. Let’s talk about the Oxford and Lissabon boots!
ACQUO Oxford: Over-the-knee, under-the-rain, and totally chic
First up, we have the ACQUO Oxford, which is a total game-changer for those days when you want to look cute, even if the skies are pouring. These over-the-knee boots aren’t just practical – they’re genuinely fashionable! I love the semi-glossy finish, which gives them a touch of elegance without being too flashy. And that low 1.5 cm heel? Perfection. It’s just enough to give you a bit of height without sacrificing comfort, which makes these boots perfect for long walks through the city or even a countryside escape.
Picture this: you’re in a flowy summer dress, and even though it’s a bit drizzly, your Oxfords keep you looking polished and effortlessly stylish. They’re made from natural soft rubber, so they feel great to wear, and let’s be honest, that over-the-knee length is just wow. It elongates the legs and instantly elevates any outfit. Whether it’s rain or shine, the Oxfords will have you turning heads for all the right reasons.
And can we just have a moment to talk about how these boots are gender neutral? Seriously – yes, we all know boots, especially high boots of the fashionable kind, are marketed towards women. Women are also the largest group buying them; so it makes sense. Follow the money, and all that. And yet, looking at all the marketing material, we can clearly see how these long boots actually work very well with a masculine, modern style. They go with jeans and black suit pants, and almost create this mix of feminine and masculine that makes the manly aura become more profound.
What do you guys think? Would you throw a fit if your husband showed up in these – or are you like me, and appreciate when men go out of the boring old box, and try something new and striking.
ACQUO Lissabon: The go-to boot for everyday glam
Now, let’s talk about the ACQUO Lissabon. If you’re looking for something a bit more understated but still elegant, this is your new everyday favorite. The shorter shaft and sleek, shiny black finish make them super versatile. They’re perfect for pairing with jeans or even a cute summer dress when you want to feel a bit more casual yet still put-together.
The 1.5 cm heel makes them just as comfy as the Oxford model, but the lower height and shorter shaft give them a more laid-back vibe. They’re stylish enough for brunch dates, yet practical for daily errands. And let’s not forget – the softness of the rubber is a dream. You get all the benefits of a durable boot without feeling like your feet are weighed down. It’s like your favorite sneakers but with way more style.
So, fashion or function? Why not both!
What I love about Acquo of Sweden is how they’ve turned the humble rubber boot into something that’s not only functional but fashionable. Whether it’s the bold and beautiful over-the-knee Oxford or the classic and chic Lissabon, these boots are proof that style and practicality can, in fact, go hand in hand.
If you haven’t tried rubber boots outside of rainy days yet, trust me, these will change your mind. And with sizes ranging from 37 to 46, there’s something for everyone. Don’t forget to check out the size guide – because finding the perfect fit is key to feeling fabulous!
So, what do you think? Ready to take your style game to the next level with Acquo of Sweden?
At least for myself, I know I’ll be. XOXO, fellow fashionistas!
