Fall Boot + Shoe Trends to Invest in this Fall

Tis the season to invest in fall fashion and styles of all kinds. I always recommend building from the bottom up when you’re looking to give your wardrobe an upgrade. Having the right shoes will help you build your fall outfits more easily. When you invest in versatile shoes that can be worn in multiple ways, you can create more outfits with less thought. I recommend sticking to neutral colors for your fall shoe buys. Just because you buy neutral shoes doesn’t mean you can’t lean into fall trends. Here are my top 7 types of fall boot and shoe styles to invest in now.

Fall boots and Shoes trends

7 Fall Boot + Shoe Trends I Recommend:

Chelsea Boots: Chelsea Boots have a long history beginning in the Victorian area. They are made for getting dressed in a flash and for days full of walking! Look for Chelsea Boots with more of a pointed toe so they elongate your legs instead of make them look short.

Thigh High Boots: This is cold weather’s sexy secret weapon. Thigh-high boots will allow you to build cute fall outfits with skirts, dresses, and skinny jeans that will keep you feeling warm. I think suede is especially feminine and ways to style.

Chunky Loafers: This is a fun fall trend was definitely a thing at some point in high school. It feels very “Clueless.” I’ve actually just bought some knee-high socks to try to make this trend word for me. I think they would be cute with plaid skirts or skinny jeans and an oversized sweater.

Lug Sole Boots: This chunky boot is built for stomping around and not give AF. I got these black lug sole boots which have a sock top for a comfy slip-on and slip-off. While the chunkiness may seem unflattering, I actually love the silhouette of the boot. I think it slims out my curvy legs.

Western Inspired Boots: Cowboy boots are all the rage right now. Western-style boots are classic fall boot choices for good reasons. They are practical for fall outfit days that could lead you to rain and mud. The shape of cowboy boots make them a great addition to the closet because of the flattering silhouette: a tapered calf, a pointed toe, and a slight heel. They are made for tomboys but sexy enough for the girly girl. Make sure to add a pair in a versatile neutral tone to your fall boot lineup.

Platform Sneakers: Platform sneakers came back a year or two again as a trend. This fall, the platform sneaker is still here. Adding a fresh platform sneaker will allow you to be comfortable but elevate any casual outfit. I also love pairing speakers with maxi dresses for a sporty but chic fall outfit.

Fun Dress Shoes: The holiday party season is going to come up faster than you think. Go ahead and invest funky and versatile dress shoes for colder temps. Reach for sparkles and sexy shapes in practical silhouettes to get you through the season. Go for closed-toed shoe sin case you need to slip on tights for colder weather.
