1. Flouncy + Slouchy


The bohemian’s best bet.

Style Hint: Pair a short, breezy dress with a tall slouchy boot. The combination feels carefree with a touch of edginess. We love these slouchy boots because you can wear them relaxed, or pull them up over your knee to lengthen your legs even more.

4. Slit Skirt + Tall Ankle


Strut your stuff.

Style Hint: Diffuse a slit skirt by skipping high heels in favor of a pair of tall ankle boots. When you do, you transform a date night dress into a daytime look that is polished and work-friendly.

7. Prairie Plaid + Cowboy Boots


Cowgirl cool.

Style Hint: The way to make the western trend look natural (not like a Halloween costume) is to keep the boots sleek and chic, like these in matte black. Pair them with another fall trend: the plaid midi-skirt worn with a chunky knit.
