How to Wear Utility Boots: 3 Easy Outfit Ideas
After I wrote this post about these Xhilaration 'Kayden' Utility Boots from Target, I received a couple questions about how to style this rugged, low boot. Here are three outfit ideas to get you thinking about ways to pair this comfortable yet stylish shoe with things you might already own in your closet. How would you style these boots?

Black shorts and a black button-down shirt create a polished, put-together starting point. Add a denim jacket to mimic the worn-in look of the boots, then a pop of color with a functional bag (the one shown here can be worn 3 ways and comes in 8 colors!).
Skinny jeans tuck effortlessly into the Kayden. Add a feminine top to soften the rough look of the boots, and keep the overall color palette mellow.

I love this throw back to the 70's look. The boots are so versatile, they will literally go with anything!
