And just like that it’s fall, or as we like to call it, boot season. With an array of options from lace-up to Chelsea, there is a boot for one and all. A sure classic when it comes to shoes, boots can instantly make an outfit more or less casual depending on the style and the occasion. Pair some Y-3 rubber-toed boots with slacks and a suit jacket to create a less formal ensemble, or just as easily throw on a pair of The Row Chelsea boots with jeans and a t-shirt to make a look fit for the office or any business-casual affair. From running to meetings to taking a stroll along orange-leafed trees, there isn’t a fall activity that boots couldn’t fashionably conquer. 

 

Not only are boots a quick stylish fix for every outfit, but they’re also incredibly practical—talk about a win win. As life increasingly returns to in-person opportunities just as the weather gets chillier, you’ll need a shoe that is not only appropriate for every occasion but that can easily take you from point A to B. Apologies for the cliché, but indeed, these boots were made for walking. Whether you prefer pointed-toes or round, suede or leather, your glass slipper of the boot variety awaits.
