Sure, the pin-thin '80s heel and chunky combats are still popular, but the one silhouette you won't be able to ignore this Fall is the Western-inspired cowboy boot. It doesn't just boil down to Kylie Jenner's thigh highs, Dua Lipa's cowgirl style, or Rihanna's cult-favorite Off-White x Jimmy Choo puffers, though these looks certainly gave rise to the viral sensation that is cowboy boots.
Now, they're becoming mainstream. You can find them all over the streets and in plenty of colors, heights, and finishes at your favorite retailers. So while you can definitely get away with keeping your staple booties on rotation, you're going to feel fresh as hell trying out a shape that's brand new. Need some pointers for your outfit? Just read on for a handful, then get to shopping.
Work a classic style under a not-so-classic pattern, and add an all-American touch with a denim jacket tied around the waist.
Make your boots the focal point when you invest in a metallic colorway.
Play with proportions and work a knee-high version with cutoffs or a miniskirt. Add a girlie touch with a delicate top.
Patterned boots are novelty pieces, so find a way to attract full attention to your boots when you're wearing them. One option? Mitch-match prints.
Combine two trends and work the updated version of a sock boot with a Western-inspired sole.
Wear a dress with an asymmetrical hemline that gives a better glimpse at the shoes underneath.
Make it all about your boots when you find a vibrant print that features their exact color.
Splurge on the of-the-moment, slightly avant garde pair that's getting all the buzz: the Off-White x Jimmy Choo boots that Rihanna owns.
Add your personal touch and a bundle of accessories to a very classic Western pairing: cowboy boots and a flannel.
If you're not a fan of the taller silhouette, sport an ankle bootie with studs with a gathered skirt. A leg slit will work to elongate your legs.
Opt for a hemline that falls below the top of your boot to create a look that flows.
Let a pair of soft trousers skim the top of the boot, flashing the full silhouette as you walk down the street.
Wear a cherry red cowboy boot with a romantic, tiered knee-length dress.
Go full-on Western with your look and coordinate with a full-sleeved prairie dress.
Your boots may bring a lot of edge, but you can keep things modest with a pleated midi and embroidered collar.
Even when you're wearing the brightest dress on the street, you can accent your boots with the help of another accessory, like a leather statement purse.
Add a trendy bucket bag to the always iconic denim skirt and cowboy boot pairing.
