Ankle Boots

It goes without saying that a great pair of ankle boots (or ten) is essential in every fall wardrobe worth its salt. Trends this season run the gamut, from classic block-heeled takes in black (sometimes even waterproof!) to luxe leopard or otherwise embellished ones. Pick your poison.

Glitter Boots

There’s something transformative about a pair of sparkly glitter boots — maybe it’s because they vaguely remind us of The Wizard of Oz. Whatever the case may be, there’s certainly no better cure for the cold-weather fashion blues!

Knee High Boots

Those who know know that there’s no better protection against the oncoming chill than a pair of knee high boots (except maybe thigh-high boots, but we’ll talk about those later). For best results, pair with a chunky cableknit sweater and spiced cider.

Cowboy Boots

Saddle up, because the cowboy boot craze is still going strong this fall. We saw it on the runway, we see it on the city streets. Never mind if the closest you’ve ever come to a rodeo is the petting zoo or that time you watched Matthew McConnaughey in Dallas Buyers Club, with great styles at every price point, the Western look can be for you, too. Just add jeans.

Combat Boots

Military-inspired combat boots are commanding lots of attention this fall. Go for perennial punk classics like Dr. Marten’s (or visit Nordstrom for an even more easy-on-the-wallet option), or try an embellished pair from the likes of 3.1 Phillip Lim.

Thigh High Boots

Kinky boots, indeed! Thigh-high is arguably the sultriest of boot styles, and in sumptuous fabrications like suede and buttery leather, we can see why.

Lace-Up Boots

Tie one on with high-heeled takes on the lace-up boot, which are proliferating this season. Though they look great with jeans, we’re partial to sporting them with a long dress.

Sock Boots

When Cardi B raps about her love of those Balenciagas, the ones that look like socks, (“I Like It”) you can be sure the style is going to be sticking around a while. In this case, we’re talking about the ubiquitous footwear hybrid that is the sock boot — and we’re liking Balenciaga’s kitten heel version for fall, as well as these alternative, wallet-friendly iterations.
