The Five Pairs of Boots Every Woman Should Own

Long boots are a tried-and-tested way to inject sophistication into your look. Get straight to the point with our patent leather knee-high boots, which will add instant edge to knitted co-ords and floaty midi dresses. Snake-print styles have been on the front foot for the past couple of seasons – a trend that continues this year – or try burgundy suede boots with an oversized jumper and skinny jeans. Look out for boots made with our Insolia technology, designed to keep your feet super comfy even as you pound the puddle-strewn pavements.

Drizzly weather calls for durable, hard-wearing footwear. When winter kicks in, a pair of riding boots will be your best friend, grounding your outfits in practicality while also keeping your toes warm (it’s not just about looking chic, after all). Details such as buckles, equestrian hardware and cleated soles add extra style points. If you’re all about softening your look this autumn, opt for these brown boots with a gold buckle detail, teamed with a matching polka-dot dress. Just add a pair of thermal socks or tights when the mercury drops.

Say howdy to one of this winter’s biggest footwear trends: the cowboy boot. Forget any associations with fancy dress or festivals, Western-inspired styles are surprisingly versatile and add a playful twist to the most failsafe outfits. Look for squared-off toes, Cuban heels, stitch detailing and embroidery to nod to the trend.

Toughen up a floaty midi dress with a pair of cowboy boots, or add some edge to a mini dress. They also work well with jeans, or choose corduroy flares for a contemporary take on a seventies look. For a fresh spin, try a rich burgundy pair to add depth to your autumn palette, or go bold with this animal-print pair.
