Forget Trainers—I'll Be Wearing This "Ugly" Boot Trend Instead This Year
It's time to put your classic Chelsea boots to one side because this season, lace-up boots are staging a quiet fashion revolution. Slowly but surely, the style is being embraced by Instagram's elite and stealing the spotlight from the extroverted trends that have dominated this season—think throwback '70s suede numbers and theatrical cowboy boots.
The 2024 iterations are mainly all on the chunky side, with a few heeled pairs around, and everyone from Mango to Moncler has offered up their own interpretations. Many influencers are drawing inspiration from the stomper styles and styling theirs with tucked in jeans, slip skirts and tailored coats. So make sure you get in one one of winter's most wearable trends—scroll down to shop our edit of the best lace-up ankle boots.
Don't sleep on Hush's shoe collection this year.
