March through the city (with combat boots)

What do men and women have in common? They both love to wear combat boots, and pull them off equally well.

Combat boots have become a staple in the male and female wardrobes. Who knew we would resort to the army for fashion inspiration?

Take a trip to the Belmont Army surplus store and you will find a pair of these kicks, plus all the other latest army inspired fashions.

For the guys, pair the combat boots with straight leg jeans and a V-neck for a sexy, street look. For the girls, pair the combat boots with corduroys and a blazer for a casual yet sophisticated feel.

If you're just walking to class or attending a fancy dinner with a friend, combat boots give you the edginess you need to boost your confidence.

Walk down Michigan Avenue and look for the All Saints store, there you will find the most daring combat boots for both men and women. So take a risk, step out of your comfort zone, and look tougher than maybe you really are.

But you don't have to worry about putting your combat boots back in storage after winter passes. Save these boots for the spring to wear with flirty floral dresses and cut-off jean shorts.
