Boot season is coming upon us fast and furious. From lug-soled boots to patent styles, it’s probably safe to assume you’re already gearing up to swap out your sandals for some more killer cold-weather footwear. This means that fall is coming. While it’s never a bad idea to invest in classic women’s fall boots, this year we all deserve to bring a little more fun and excitement into our lives.

This season we’re seeing classic silhouettes, like western boots with elevated details and fabrications. And while ivory and white booties are definitely not new on our radar, rocking them with a square toe and contrasting black sole definitely is a fresh take that we can all get excited about. Boots in pop colors and rich fall hues are coming in hot, as well. Check out our favorite fall boots for women and step out in a pair that will put some pep in your step.

Western-Inspired Boots

These boots were most definitely made for walking. Unlike your classic cowboy boots, this season’s western boot styles have fashion-babe flair. With modern silhouettes and unexpected colorways, as well as details like fringe, metallic finishes, embossing, and topstitching, you can score a look that’s cool without being costumey.

Tall boots have been around forever, and they never went away–but boots with high shafts are making their mark this fall as a must-have. Available in a variety of shapes, fabrications, and heel heights, taller boots can be trendy, classic, edgy, or all of the above! Whether you opt for croc-embossed knee-high boots in lavender, slouchy taupe vegan suede boots, or structured white western-inspired boots, the options abound this season to take your look to new heights.

Platform Boots
