Whether short or knee-high, slouchy boots are on trend this autumn. Compared to slim ankle boots, they may look less elegant, but the tapered material makes them more casual and, let’s be honest, cooler. Many brands are not only making them from leather, but also from denim.
Slouchy ankle boots are best combined with mini dresses or shorts, which gives them enough room to unfold their full effect. Isabel Marant provides the perfect model for autumn: the suede boots have a loosely falling shaft that is folded over at the top. In combination with the tiny heel and leather ties, they look relaxed and stylish at the same time.
#3: Western-style ankle boots
Western-inspired accessories and garments already played a major role in the summer. But, they’re also accompanying us into autumn and winter. In addition to classic cowboy boots, there are now also many boots that interpret these western codes less strikingly, but all the more elegantly. So it’s up to you whether you go for complete country flair or a more subtle take on the style.
The ankle boots from Free People are a perfect example of elegant western boots: the heel and silhouette pick up on typical western elements, but the height of the shaft and the trendy leopard print make them look much more modern. They go well with jeans, a maxi dress or a combination of a mini dress and blazer.
