boot camp

While the British weather is still treating us to sunny days and warm nights, the shops are telling a different story. Gone are the floaty fabrics, sleeveless silhouettes and summer sandals and in their place are full length coats, knitted sweaters and winter boots.

So while you might not be ready to hang up your flip flops just yet, there is no denying that our retail haunts have left summer behind and are looking to fall.

Fall is a beautiful time of year; crisp chilly mornings, winter walks with hands wrapped around cups of steaming hot chocolate and fallen amber leaves that crunch underfoot. An ending and a new beginning it really is the perfect time for a wardrobe update. And what better way to transition from summer to autumn than with a killer pair of boots and if chosen correctly, that perfect pair will serve as your go-to accessory this autumn/winter…

Western

Metallic Western Low Shaft Boots | £95 | & Other Stories 

Always a firm favourite on the catwalk and the high street, the western style is firmly back on our shelves for 2016. But instead of ordinary black why not opt for something with a little more pizzazz this year? These silver metallic ankle boots from & Other Stories are bound to grab some attention.

Fur

Hairy-Harry Fur Ankle Boots | £69 | Topshop

Fur, faux or real, was huge on the fall 2016 runway, and is something that has been trending for a long time now. We’ve seen many a blogger sporting fur pom poms on sandals, fur lined mules and even furry sliders, but now it’s time for the full on furry boot. This is one trend that is not for the faint hearted, so if your new to the party you might want to go for a monotone colour, but if you’re embracing the furry then why not stand out in this cobalt blue pair from Topshop.

Sock

Strut | £160 | KG Kurt Geiger

Known as the sock boot, the catwalks saw plenty of the style for 2016 thanks to a certain Mr. Kanye West’s Yeezy brand (yes, you heard us correct!) the tight-fitting ankle boot is now high on the fashion agenda. To style, pair with a light wash ankle grazer denim for the in-crowd look.

Over the Knee

Hi Light Over-The-Knee-Boot | £345 | Russell & Bromley

Still very much on the fashion radar knee highs aren’t going anywhere…good news for those who invested last year. But if you want to revive your collection these ones from Russell and Bromley are the perfect pair. The burgundy colour will give a pop of autumn colour to your winter wardrobe and the low block heel is a nod to the trendy swinging 60s.
