Fall's Best Footwear Wants You to Relax
Sponsor Content Created With NET-A-PORTER
Sometimes we just want to relax—and fall's footwear feels the same way. While full-blown '80s-inspired slouchy boots are most definitely a thing (it all began when these crystal-embellished Saint Laurents hit the runway), we're settling for something just a little less aggressive (and a little less than $10,000). From Tibi's velvet sock boots to Off-White's over-the-knee plaid knockouts, we're all about that little slouch at the ankle.
Below, we've curated our five favorite slightly slouchy styles from NET-A-PORTER.
Tibi Harper Crushed-Velvet Boots
Something's going on with Tibi at the moment—these teal velvet booties are just one of about 15 pairs of the brand's shoes we're coveting RN.
Isabel Marant Loyko Metallic Brushed-Leather Knee Boots
Exactly what you want to wear under that ribbed-knit dress.
Off-White Tartan Over-the-Knee Boots
These are the boots Bella Hadid wore to open Off-White's F/W 17 show in head-to-toe plaid—if you have not seen this look, please google it. We'll wait here.
Christian Louboutin Kristofa 100 Bow-Embellished Suede Boots
We love the relaxed feel of this gathered suede.
Off-White For Walking Over-the-Knee Boot
This softly creased white leather only gets better with age.
