2024 is the year when the santiag, that iconic boot of the Wild West, definitively establishes itself as an urban fashion staple. Whether you're a fan of the bohemian, rock, or even minimalist look, there's a santiag for you. At Germaine Collard, we firmly believe that this iconic shoe is more than just a passing trend; it's a true fashion investment. In this article, find out why santiags are 2024 must-haves and how to choose the ones that will accompany you all year long.
The santiags have spanned the decades, but in 2024 they're experiencing a real revival. Luxury and ready-to-wear fashion houses alike have revisited this iconic boot, infusing it with a modern touch without sacrificing its rebellious spirit. The return of vintage style and the craze for eco-responsible fashion make santiags an ideal choice for those seeking to combine tradition and modernity. Aged leather, refined embroidery and natural colors make this boot a versatile accessory, capable of sublimating any outfit.
In 2024, the santiag comes in several styles to satisfy every craving:
"The classic santiags": With their pointed toe, beveled heel and high shaft, classic santiags remain a safe choice for a touch of character. Ideal for pairing with raw denim jeans or a suede skirt, they add a touch of authenticity to any look.
"Les santiags modernes": For those who prefer a sleeker silhouette, modern santiags are adorned with minimalist details. Think smooth leather finishes, plain colors and more fitted cuts. They're perfect for an urban, chic and casual look.
"Les santiags bohèmes": In 2024, bohemian influences are everywhere. Santiags are adorned with fringe, floral embroidery and earthy colors for a relaxed, folk style. They pair wonderfully with long dresses, vestes in oversized denim or wide-brimmed hats.
The choice of the perfect pair of santiags depends on several factors:
Leather quality: invest in santiags made of genuine leather to ensure durability and comfort. Soft leather will adapt better to the shape of your foot over time.
The fit: choose a cut that matches your personal style. If you like casual looks, opt for a low-cut upper. For a more assertive style, opt for models with a high upper.
The details: embroidery, studs, fringe, or even printed patterns, details make all the difference. Make sure they reflect your personality and style.
The beauty of santiags lies in their versatility. For an everyday look, pair them with skinny jeans and a basic white T-shirt. For a dressier outfit, wear them with a flowing dress or a midi skirt. Don't hesitate to play with layering: a long wool coat, an oversized scarf and your favorite santiags, and you're ready to face winter in style.
For those who dare to contrast, the santiags also go well with more sophisticated pieces like a pencil skirt or a pantsuit. The idea is to break up the strictness of your outfit with a touch of nonchalance brought by santiags.
