suede boots
Autumn for suede? I know, it’s original, but suede boots in a variety of colors are currently at the top of my fall fashion wish list. From ankle to over-the-knee, suede boots bring a seasonal touch to every look, effortlessly adding warmth, texture and depth to the simplest of outfits. The Row’s suede zip-up boots and Miu Miu’s suede booties are some of the most coveted boots of the season, and luckily, there’s no shortage of more affordable options on the market. But no matter the price of your boots, be sure to invest in a quality suede protection spray to protect your boots from the elements and ensure your fall shoes stay in pristine condition throughout the season and beyond.
motorcycle boots
I recently called motorcycle boots one of the top fashion trends for fall 2024, and while this style isn’t for everyone, you’re bound to see it everywhere. Often embellished with buckles and hardware, they are definitely on the edgier side of the fall 2024 boot collection, but are best styled with a bit of contrast. While a full biker chic look might be the most obvious choice, try pairing biker boots with a more sophisticated, girly vibe to turn heads on any fall outing. Biker boots are not only a hot item this season, but they’re sturdy and comfortable enough to take you from the pumpkin patch to the dinner party.
riding boots
Riding boots once suffocated me as a 13-year-old, and as an adult I’m excited to see them take the spotlight come fall 2024. New attention came back to riding boots and inspired some interesting changes. While the classic riding boot remains true to its equestrian roots, this year designers are breathing new life into the staple with unexpected colors and materials. Exhibit A: This pair of Gucci. I’ve been loving pairing riding boots with shorts and an oversized blazer lately for a chic fall look that’s still cool enough in the warm LA temperatures.
pointed toe boots
Pointed toe boots are my personal favorite of all the fall boots for 2024 so far. I (literally) tried this trend out last year by wearing elongated but still round-toed boots, but after seeing a friend wearing these beautiful Anine Bing Hilda boots, I’m a total convert. Not only does this chic silhouette inject a sophisticated edge into the garment, but its leg-elongating effect is truly unparalleled. Wear it with straight-leg jeans for a sophisticated everyday look, or layer it over tights and style it with a mini dress for a more sophisticated look. Regardless, don’t hit the tip until you try it.
Personalized boots
While buckled biker boots or pointy-toe boots may be enough for some, minimalism has taken over, with wild printed boots taking over designer fall/winter 2024 runways. From bold animal prints to eye-catching metallics, these standout styles can easily transform any look. Whether you’re rocking an all-black outfit for a night out or jazzing up jeans and a white T-shirt for brunch, statement boots are the perfect way to express your unique style this fall. Even if you’re looking for simplicity, you can pair leopard print boots with a classic black dress for a pop of statement, or pair metallic ankle boots with tailored trousers for an edgy yet elegant vibe.
