6 Ways to Wear Fall Boots Like Cindy Crawford, Nicole Kidman, and More
Are you ready? It's almost time to retire your summer sandals and bring those fall boots out of storage. Gone will be the days of worrying about the perfect pedicure—instead, you'll be worrying about staying warm in crisp fall weather without sacrificing style. Well, it just so happens that celebrities are experts when it comes to this. Below, I've rounded up outfit ideas to wear with three different types of fall boots, and you might want to start taking notes.
Ashley Graham, for instance, is a proponent of over-the-knee boots, which she recently teamed with an oversize denim jacket worn as a dress. Ever the sophisticated dresser, Nicole Kidman wore the ultimate office-appropriate outfit with boots, including a sleek blazer and flared jeans. Cindy Crawford went for a model-off-duty look with a leather jacket and knee-high suede boots—a very cool combo if you ask us.
Scroll down to see how these celebs, plus Rihanna, Gigi Hadid, and Kaia Gerber, wear boots with jeans and shop their looks.

Next, I'm 5'10" and these are the trends I will and won't wear.
Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
