A beautiful way to dress up, protect your shoes and keep your feet warm is to wear gaiters. To give you an idea of just how pretty they can look, here they are from Kenzo and Bora Aksu:

H&M had something like this last year, so hopefully they’ll pick up on the trend this year as well. If not you can always find them secondhand, and Ebay is a good source for that. Type in gaiters or spats and you’ll find not many, but some, to choose from. Be aware when shopping on Ebay that it’s often a good idea to search for misspelled items. Gaiters can be gaitors for example. The misspelled items usually end up costing less since not as many come across them. (I figured this out since my English isn’t perfect and I ended up getting a huge hand crocheted bedspread with pillow cases for $10!)
