Fall Boot Trends 2018: The Only Three, Practical Pairs You Need This Season
Let’s talk about fall boot trends 2018. Not the sexy, you-can’t-walk-after-an-hour kind. But the practical, comfortable and chic kind that will take your from day to night without a shoe swap. You ready?
80s Slouchy
Now that you know that the 80s resurgence a huge trend for fall, you probably also know that the ’80s slouchy boot is decidedly back. Yes, the style is back and better than ever. They are roomy and, depending on the heel, very comfy, and if you are into them, be sure to pair them with skinny jeans. They look especially cool pulled down around the ankles and might even make you forgo your ankle boots a little more often than usual this fall.
Cowboy Boots
Who knew we’ll be obsessing over the cowboy boots?! One of the most prominent fall boot trends of the season, when done right, cowboy boots can add an element of surprise to the most basic outfits. The thing is, they can diversify an outfit: a little bit country, a little bit rock ‘n’ roll, a little bit bohemian and even a little bit preppy. So gear up, friends, because the cowboy boot is probably the boot of the season.
Combat Boots
We love the combat boot trend. It’s practical, warm, comfortable, and adds an extra punch of bad-assness (is that a word?) to an outfit. Some of the more recent iterations have contrast laces or thick platforms that add extra height. Juxtapose your combat boots against a soft dress, pair them with a a suit, or on a chic cargo trouser — whatever your preference, it will work. And that’s why this is one of our favorite fall boot trends 2018.
