We're only a few days into sweater weather, so when you walk around New York City, you will only see a few people who have already decided to start wearing boots. Celebrities, however, are a different story. We've only just entered October, and they've spent the past month showcasing some of the best trends of the year.
I'm grateful for these celeb looks because they make for the perfect inspiration for my fall wish list. If there's one item that I know people are buying right now it is a good pair of boots. Whether your favorite boots are still sitting in storage or you're feeling like your current selection is a bit outdated, it's time to invest in a new pair. Below, you'll see the six trends that have already been approved by celebrities, from Zoë Kravitz to Bella Hadid, which guarantees you'll find what you're looking for.
1. Elevated Western
It was just last year when you couldn't find a celebrity who wasn't wearing cowboy boots on a weekly basis. The stars are still loving Western-inspired boots but taking a step back from the traditional cowboy style. Think simple distressing, neutral colorways, and sleek designs.
Shop the trend:
I've had my eye on these for a few weeks now.
I saw a friend wearing these and fell in love.
Cowboy boots you'll be wearing long after the trend dies down.
These will look so good with your favorite pair of jeans.
2. Micro Uggs
Celebrities have been waiting for the moment that the temperatures drop below 80ºF so that they could start wearing their Ugg Minis. Honestly, I don't blame them. When the fanfare began last year, I was wary of buying into the trend, but now I'm sold.
Shop the trend:
Because I left my knee-high Uggs in middle school.
Yes, I'm buying multiple colors.
This is a colorway I haven't seen yet.
This just might be my second favorite.
3. Lug-Sole
Functional items have never let me down, so buying into lug-sole boots is always a given. They still give off that cool-girl vibe that we're obsessed with without causing any sort of discomfort. Anything "chunky" is the way to go.
Shop the trend:
A boot like this always helps me through the snowy winters.
My H&M boots have stood the test of time.
Absolute perfection.
Now, these are everything.
I'm so into knee-high options.
4. Cagole-esque Booties
When Balenciaga dropped its Cagole boots earlier this year, they instantly became an It buy. Every fashion person just had to have them. Celebrities are wearing them into fall, and I'm shopping for more affordable look-alikes.
Shop the trend:
My dream shoes.
Allowing my motomami era to begin.
I'm on the hunt for the perfect thigh-high boots, and these might be exactly what I'm looking for.
I'm obsessed.
5. Pointy-Toe
I love pointy-toe boots as much as celebrities do. They're the perfect way to polish off a look. This fall and winter, let it be known that the pointier, the better.
Shop the trend:
Balenciaga does it again with another pair of boots that has come to define a trend.
In case you're looking for a more casual take on pointed boots.
This just might need to be my next purchase.
Now, how cute are these?
6. The Classic Knee-High
It feels slightly off to be including knee-high boots in a roundup of trends since they're such a timeless silhouette. I'd like to think of them as both a trend and a staple, the best of both worlds. I'm obsessed.
Shop the trend:
You can't go wrong with a stiletto heel.
This color is everything.
I'm ordering these rn.
One of the best pairs in my closet.
