Let's face it, you never need a reason to buy more shoes, but some occasions just feel wonderfully apt - like autumn's long-awaited debut. As crisp leaves layer underfoot and the first signs of frost linger in the air, it's time to stow away sandals in favour of something a little more cosy...
Boots! Perhaps you're invited to a festive soiree, or simply back in the office and looking for a smart (but stylish) pair - we've rounded up our picks for putting your best foot forward.
The Chunky Chelsea
Here at Anthropologie, we love a classic with a twist, and this one’s for those who want to elevate looks whilst staying comfy ('tis the season, after all). Slight proportions have been swapped for rugged, look-at-me-soles, and black leather for snakeskin. As for the outfit? Pair with slip skirts and slouchy knits.
The Reboot:
5 Styles to Wear Now
Boots to help you start autumn
on the right foot.
The White Western
This silhouette offers endless styling opportunities and is even smart enough to be worn to the office. (Can we get three cheers?). Try pairing with a floaty midi dress in an autumnal shade or a leather jacket and cropped-flare jeans. Whatever combinations you come up with, one thing's for sure: we've never been more excited for 9-5.

The Bright Beauty
Crochet knits, cord dresses, flared trousers - if you hadn't heard, the seventies is back. A small nod to the era comes in the form of buttery suede - a true celebration of nostalgia. Opt for a pair in a high-top silhouette and a saturated shade like burnt orange. The pop of colour really adds depth and feels sumptuous against the season's sheepskin-style coats.

The Lace-Up
That borrowed-from-your-boyfriend look? Consider it perfected. Add a little androgyny to looks with this desert-inspired design. Not only does its constructed height go a long way, but picking a pair in a lighter shade will complement this season’s must-have palettes. For styling? We think a flouncy hemline or trusty jeans will do the trick.
