Boots Are an Autumn Staple—The 6 Best Styles For 2024 (And Beyond)

Trench coats, knitwear and boots—these three pillars of our wardrobes are the most synonymous with autumn. As the new season has swiftly arrived, we’ve already explored the outfits to accompany trench coats, curated refined edits of sumptuous knitwear, and now I’ve set my sights on pinning down the best autumn boots.

Whilst the new season brings about a rise in trending styles, my deep dive into all things boots has shown that the very best styles are firmly rooted in timeless appeal. Thigh-high styles may be limited in styling, and shearling finishes are firmly reserved for the UGG revival. But I’ve honed in on 6 styles that are enduring in design, and whether offered in black or burgundy, smooth or textured, the designs themselves are eternal enough to support our autumn outfits for years to come.

The brilliance of boots is not restricted to simply their chic design but affirmed by their versatility and wearability too. Whilst you may want to show off your knee-highs with a skirt or dress, they’re happy to accompany our trouser and jeans looks just as well. Even just peaking out from the bottom of tailored trousers, boots are destined to make an impact, especially when sharp point toes or squared-off toes are there to add a contemporary edge.
