For the last few seasons, there's a particular trend I've been admiring from afar. Granted, I loved it on other people, but when it came to myself, I didn't know if they'd fit my aesthetic. I'm talking about white boots, which have fast become a fashion-girl identifier. Almost every influencer I religiously follow wears white boots on the regular, but I just didn't think they'd suit my existing wares. Then it dawned on me: I wear white trainers frequently; how different could white boots be?
After sitting on the sidelines long enough, I'm pleased to report that since investing in a pair a month ago, I've worn them literally every single day. White boots have proven to be the perfect blank canvas for just about any outfit I can throw at them. Somehow they seem to make everything look cooler. I've worn mine with midi dresses, checked culottes, straight-leg jeans, pleated skirts, jumper dresses—you name it. Honestly, I don't know how to get dressed without them anymore.
So if you too feel the same apprehension I once did, I've found six outfits that'll make styling your new white boots incredibly easy—courtesy of the aforementioned influencers. Keep scrolling to see how to wear white boots.
Style Notes: Fanny gives her pretty midi dress a cool overhaul with a pair of refined white Western boots. When temperatures drop, simply add a classic trench to complete the ensemble.
Style Notes: Vinyl outerwear is one of the season's top trends. For the sleekest approach, wear it with a pair of white boots and keep everything in-between pared-back—like Jessie's roll-neck–and–straight-leg-jeans combination.
