Cure Those End of Summer Blues and Shop Classic Boots for Fall

You can’t go wrong with any of these staple silhouettes.

Not every year but most, the arrival of autumn might mean shopping for a great new pair of classic boots for fall. Between stylish updates to the flat Chelsea to a plethora of animal-print knee-highs, there is no shortage of options when choosing your go-to boot for the season. But before getting distracted by this season’s most stylish footwear trends, you’ll want to make sure you first have a great pair of everyday, goes-with-everything boots.

In timeless silhouettes, neutral hues, leathers, and suedes, a classic boot is one you’ll live in all season long—no matter your sartorial preference. There are square-toe ankle boots for jeans and trousers and over-the-knee styles for transitioning mini and midi dresses and skirts to fall.

While you might still be shopping for your end-of-summer plans, autumn’s assortment of classic boots is already available in stores and online, so you might want to consider shifting your focus. The most timeless silhouettes are often the most sought after—you’ll be better off shopping for a pair now before the best of the best sell out. Plus, there’s nothing like a pair of stompy lug-soles, sleek kitten heels, or flat riding boots to cure the end of summer blues—here’s to the new season and those perfect classic boots for fall.
