To get you prepared for the best of next season’s fashion, we’ve been giving you the download on everything from the hottest designer buys to know to the prettiest shoes to feast your eyes on and everything in between. Fall 2025 has so much in store for us, so I can say with certainty that the season is worth the wait, at least when it comes to our wardrobes. One of the most exciting categories you’ll want to focus on? Shoes—specifically boots.
After combing through the runways, my social media feeds, and the market, I’ve landed on six fall boot trends that will have the biggest impact next season. With the flat sock boots inspired by the Fforme runway and the modern Western styles that are currently having a renaissance, consider this list your North Star for all things stylish and forward. Continue on to get your fill of the major fall 2025 boot trends and shop the pairs I love most.
If you take note of any boot trend this fall, let it be boots that come in exotic finishes like animal print, embossing, and undeniably luxe calf hair. The latter is taking off across the accessories spectrum, but a pair of boots feels especially versatile. Depending on how you style them, they can either lean Western inspired or feel completely glamorous. The key pair to know? April Hennig, president of Moda Operandi, insists it’s the towering, thigh-high zebra boots from the next iteration of Conner Ives’s collaboration with Jimmy Choo.
