If you ask me, boots season is greater than sandals season. I am selective when it comes to shopping, however the one item I purchase every year is a new pair of flat boots, as they always act as the cornerstone of my wardrobe from September until April. For the past few years I have navigated London’s winters in chunky ankle boots with a practical lug sole, however this year I am craving a change.
I have decided that I will personally be investing in a pair of flat knee-high riding boots, preferably with a subtle buckle detail around the calf. If money was no object, I would opt for the glossy Merlot-hued boots that were shown at Gucci, or the olive-hued riding boots that walked at Fendi. But in reality my budget is more H&M than Hermès, and I’m tempted by the sleek riding boots that have just arrived at Massimo Dutti.
There is still a tough, practical element to the boot trends that are resonating in Europe right now. The leading style is certainly rock n’ roll-esque biker boots, with circular buckle details around the ankles or multiple straps across the leg of the boot. Like many shoe trends, this has been spearheaded by Miuccia Prada at Miu Miu and its iconic Sienna biker boot, while it also featured across the FW24 runways, including at Burberry, Alexander McQueen, and Coach.
