If you love a pair of knee-high boots, but you can never do the zips up, as you calves are quite muscly. What to do, does anyone sell boots for the wider calf, and what styles should you try..

You should go for good-quality boots made from thin leather, as they will mould around your calf, giving a snug fit, and will stretch more easily than cheaper boots made from thicker leather or PVC.

Alternatively, buy boots with elasticated panels on the inside of the leg. Try the more exclusive stores in your area, they have likely a larger collection.

The futurist trend that's so popular at the moment shines though in all accessories from sparkling silver shoes to perfect patent purges. Even in the denim and jeans market, this little shiny detail are showing up, little crystals on the back pockets of DVB trousers. Shiny buttons that have the size of one of the early UFO sightings.

Designers are providing us with a magpie's collection of wearable shiny pieces: stilettos and over-sized signature-tartan totes came with a mirror finish at Burberry bags were scifi at Etro, while a lick of silver on the nails made for a graphic look at Channel. But remember; don't go for all-over shine or risk looking like a cyborg.
