This Boot Trend Will Never Go "Out"—It's Timeless and Always Chic

There are a few fall boot silhouettes that are more or less staples year over year and hold strong within the ever-changing trend cycle. Yep, chunky boots are one of said styles.

While there's a range of styles out there in the market, we scrolled through some of our favorite sites to uncover the chunky black boots we think you'll love the most in case you're in need of a fresh pair. We also pulled some visual inspiration from fashion people in the shoe silhouette to give you a few outfit ideas. We're talking about everything from a laid-back ensemble to something a bit more dressed up. Keep scrolling for the ultimate curation of the boot trend that will never go "out."
1. Ankle Boots
You can't go wrong with a classic pair of chunky Chelsea boots. Pair your favorite pick with a neutral midi dress for a flawless fall outfit.
2. Lace-Up Boots
Slip into a pair of lace-up boots with leather trousers and a tank for an effortless vibe.
3. Statement Boots
Statement boots (like those silhouettes with a contrasting heel) work with just about anything—including a 'fit like this with a polo and jeans.
4. Western-Inspired Boots
Into heeled Western-inspired boots? Try a pair with a simple dress and a jacket or blazer if it's chilly outside.
