Over the Knee Boots
Fashion girls were seen wearing over the knee boots in abundance during fashion month—creamy ecru tones were particularly popular—styled with midi skirts, loose trousers, and long shorts. Luckily the fall runways were also rife with tall statement boots—from shearling styles at Celine, and satin textures at Fendi. Layer a pair under a midi dress or skirt or over a pair of skinny jeans for your chicest look from spring to fall.

Platforms
Whether it comes in the form of party shoes, loafers, or ’70s-inspired boots, platforms are big news for spring, and judging by their bountiful presence on the fall runways, we guarantee the chunky sole is here to stay. If you invest in platform sandals for spring, you can wear them with tights come fall.

Stomping Boots
From combat boots to chunky leather flatforms, punk rock–inspired boots have been gaining momentum over the last season and continue to reign supreme for spring and fall. The trend is focused more on the thick, chunky rubber sole rather than a specific silhouette. Both ankle and tall boots were omnipresent on the runways at Prada, Alexander McQueen, and Bottega Veneta. Don’t give away those Doc Martens just yet.
