I Searched Through Hundreds of High-Street Cowboy Boots—These 22 Are the Best

It's safe to say that cowboy boots are back. With influencers and celebs including Dua Lipa, Emma Chamberlain and Kendall Jenner donning this Western shoe, the style has well and truly stormed the fashion world (again). It's a firm favourite amongst minimalists and maximalists alike, and whether you want to stick to a neutral palette or branch out with a bright or embellished design, there's a pair to suit every taste and budget.

Style Notes: Queen of Y2K fashion Emma Chamberlain proves that mismatching colours can look both sleek and polished. 

On the runways, designers don't shy away from this trend. After making its debut in 1979 as part of Ralph Lauren's new Polo Western and Ralph Lauren Western lines, the cowboy boot has been featured in an assortment of designer collections from Chanel (Haute Couture 22) to Isabel Marant (A/W 21) to Céline (A/W 21) to Ganni (S/S 23).

Plus, thanks to the ever-evolving world of street style, there's already plenty of inspiration if you want to know how to make cowboy boots work in your wardrobe. As we head into winter, pair slimmer styles with straight jeans and a chunky knit or cardigan before layering a wool coat on top. During autumn, I'll be wearing my boots with leather shorts and a blazer as seen at Copenhagen Fashion Week. Want to go bold? Take cues from Emma Chamberlain and pair bright boots with another block colour to really make a statement.

But what if your budget doesn't quite stretch to those much-loved designer names? Not to worry—that's where I come in. While I firmly believe a new season is a great time to invest in those forever pieces, I always head to the high street for my autumn and winter footwear. So I've done the hard work for you and searched through hundreds of high-street boots to find the very best affordable cowboy boots for women. Scroll down to see my top picks.
