5 Fall Boots Worthy of Your Collection (and How to Style Them)
Fashion editor: Sandra Slusarczyk
Along with shorter days and pumpkin-spice everything, fall always brings with it a batch of boots—some classic, some fresh—to add to your collection. Below, how to wear everything from equestrian-inspired knee-highs to sculptural kitten heels.
off-white
Cream or ecru is a chic yet versatile alternative to classic black. Style them with dark, monochromatic looks to play up their palette-cleansing quality. To protect from spills and stains, treat them with a leather protectant before your first wear.

Kitten Heels
Sensible enough for the office but dressy enough for a night out, LBBs (little black booties) are the quintessential day-to-night shoes. These sleek, pointy-toe options lend an elegant edge to a plush turtleneck and denim skirt.

Chelsea 2.0
Historically understated, the Chelsea boots of 2022 are transformed by contemporary details like contrast stitching, platform soles, and moccasin-style toes. Wear yours with wide-legs to balance out the bulk.
