Whilst we might still be a few weeks away from the official start of autumn, actor Sydney Sweeney is embracing the season's trends early this year. Wearing summer's chicest shorts with the boots trend that I predict will be everywhere next month, Sweeney crafted an easy ensemble that's inspired my trans-seasonal wardrobe to no end.
Wearing her white shirt neatly tucked into matching white denim shorts, she nodded to a growing autumn trend by bypassing sandals or ballet flats, instead opting for knee-grazing brown leather boots to complete her casual look.
Whilst Sweeney might have jumped on the trend ahead of the rest of us (I am nowhere near ready to say goodbye to my open toes), I highly doubt it'll be long until we all own a pair. Appearing across countless A/W 24 runway shows in February, including Chloé's fan-favourite collection, brown boots are set to become the season's favourite footwear buy.
With a rich and warm undertone, brown boots style well with a wide range of autumnal shades, including forest green, burnt orange and rosy pink; and they're just as versatile as classic black. Before next season really takes hold, style the boots with light summer shorts à la Sweeney, or pair them with a flowing white dress. When temperatures dip, instill an autumnal feeling by adding tights or wearing them with blue denim.
