The pub is a place where many a memory is made, where friends come together to discuss new life events and (often) to fawn over one or two excellent outfit choices. Personally, I love the classic British pub and all that frequent it, because it provides the perfect setting for that casual winding down, debriefing or meeting up. And whilst we were blessed with an Indian summer, the recent autumnal change in season means that those pub-garden drinks will have to come indoors again (begrudgingly for some), and so a little more coverage in the toe department is a must.

Anne-Laure Mais keeps it sleek and sophisticated in a tonal grey look with black leather accessories to tie it all together.

It may seem a little early to visualise for some, but I'm already looking forward to finding a cosy little pub with some sort of Chesterfield sofa next to a roaring fire, and an equally roaring landlady serving perfect drinks and one-liners. I want to put my feet up and relax in the comforting and reassuring surroundings, watching people come and go and wondering what their day-to-day lives entail. I want to admire their shoes whilst a dog is curled up at their feet, and I want to pay a normal price for a pint.

The assortment of clientele who walk through the doors of the average pub varies so much that very little is deemed "inappropriate" in terms of dress code, but as the nights draw in, I'm here to help you make some spot-on footwear choices for future outings with friends, family, partners and dogs. Be it comfortable trainers, sleek boots or the shoes of the season, mary janes, keep reading for my edit of the best shoes to wear to the pub this autumn.

The Best Shoes to Wear to the Pub

1. SLEEK BOOTS

Style Notes: Kaitlin's sleek black boots perfectly punctuate her outfit of a cotton coat in crisp green paired with raw-edge jeans. This style of boot is perfect when visiting a slightly fancier pub or if you just want to look a little more polished.

2. CHUNKY BOOTS

Style Notes: I love the proportions at play with Marie Jedig's loose silk skirt and chunky, knee-high boots; the juxtaposed soft and hard textures work perfectly. Chunky boots are an especially good pub footwear option if you're walking to your watering hole.

3. TRAINERS

Style Notes: Surely, trainers need no explanation. But just in case, they're perfect for the pub thanks to the unrivalled comfort they offer and because they make any casual outfit look so much cooler.

4. FLATS

Style Notes: Not ready for boots and not into trainers? Here's where flats come in. Pair yours with jeans or a dress for a Parisian take on pub wear.

5. SLIP-ONS

Style Notes: I'm a huge fan of mules for any and every occasion, but there's something particularly perfect about wearing them with cosy socks, wide-leg jeans and a chunky knit by a pub fire.
