Boot It Up

From combat to knee-high, boots are having a big year. Demanding a coveted, front-row spot in your closet, this versatile fashion staple’s primo position is well deserved. Regardless of the type, boots are the moment.

Street stylers rocked the edgy addition to carefree summer looks all season long, and the fall forecast calls for much of the same. The unexpected outfit element elevates most looks in a subtle, not-trying-too-hard way. With cooler temps coming (not soon enough), we prepped early and chose three hot boot styles from local retailers that will fit any fall clothing capsule well. Our picks showcase the on-trend footwear within three price points, making it easy for you to boot it up the next time your wardrobe needs a refresh.
