    When ‘edgy’ is what you’re after, nothing can beat a chunky combat boot with heavy-duty soles. Channelling the vibe that dominated so much of fashion in the 90s, this ready-for-anything style has been showing up on runways everywhere and is the perfect way to show you mean business.

    Offering an ideal balance between style and utility, pair them with a structured mini skirt, distressed denim jeans or culottes and you’re good to go!

  • 2. Classic knee-highs

    All good fashion trends return given enough time, and classic knee-high boots are definitely back ‘in’. As the over-the-knee look which has dominated in recent years moves aside, the just-under-the-knee alternatives have been more than happy to take their place.

    Whether you opt for heeled or classic flat riding boot style, a good pair of knee-high boots will work perfectly over the top of your favourite skinny jeans or leggings or underneath a flowing midi dress.

  • 3. Shearling or Sherpa lace-ups

    Nothing says winter better than the warm and cuddly feeling of a shearling or sherpa jacket. Now the style has infiltrated the world of footwear with shearling and sherpa lace-ups - which are equal parts comfy and cool - dominating winter boot trends.

    They’re not just reserved for hiking or alpine ski-trips either—from Dior to Prada and Ferragamo, shearling styles have been popping up in high fashion left, right and centre!

  • 4. Structured suede

    The ultimate go-with-anything style option offering a casual yet sophisticated vibe, the structured suede boots that made an entrance last season are definitely still on-trend. While classic black suede never seems to go out of style, this season, suede boots are adopting a more adventurous colour palette—think shades of burgundy, navy and dust grey.
