The summer to autumn transitional period presents one of my favourite styling moments of the year: boot-and-skirt season. In my opinion, there's no cooler combination. Offering a chic silhouette whilst allowing you to get a little more wear our of your favourite skirts, this underrated style formula is one that I come back to around this time every year.
For 2024, there's a boot trend that I'm desperate to integrate into my wardrobe. Obsessed with the grungy, Y2K energy, the biker boot trend is the style I'll be living in for the rest of this year. As seen on the runways of Miu Miu and Prada, chunky boots—the sort you'd wear to hop on your Harley-Davidson—are picking up where other boot styles have left off from previous seasons to bestow an array autumn looks with a hardy undertone. What's more, skirts have also enjoyed a monumental comeback this year, proving more popular in fashion circles than both trousers and dresses over the last few months—so it only makes sense to start pairing them together now.
To give my biker boots a warm welcome into my wardrobe, I've pulled together an edit of the skirt trends that will compliment my new favourite boots the most. Read on to discover what skirts to wear with biker boots for autumn 2024 here.
5 SKIRTS TO WEAR WITH BIKER BOOTS THIS SEASON
1. MINI SKIRT + BIKER BOOTS
Style Notes: A mini skirt and biker boots outfit is a combination that I'll never tire of. With a distinctly '00s energy, this playful pairing is going to be a street style favourite this season. Whilst we remain in early autumn, skip the tights and go bare legged and as the season progresses, elevate your look with semi-sheer tights and a boxy blazer.
