When you live in the perpetually hot Middle East, there is a very short window of time when you can take your boots out for a spin. Now, we don’t know about you, but we have been itching to capitalize on the boots season. And this fall, the fashion gods are rewarding our patience with two major trends to stomp into—cowboy boots and biker boots.
Let’s talk cowboy boots, because their grip on the fashion scene shows no signs of loosening. Fashion’s ongoing affair with all things Western—denim, fringe, wide-brimmed hats—has elevated the cowboy boot into a must-have staple. Bella Hadid, the biggest trendsetter of our times, has fully embraced the cowboy trend, strutting around in her trusty boots. Naturally, cowboy boots have been propelled into the popularity, and they’re adding just the right amount of rugged charm to winter wardrobes. Perfect for concerts, nights out, or even making a casual day outfit stand out, the versatility of these boots is part of their charm. You can go classic with neutral leather or spice things up with bold prints, metallic finishes, or embellished details.
On the other end of the spectrum, biker boots are delivering some serious tough-girl energy for Fall/Winter 2024. They’re the boot that never quite leaves the fashion conversation, but this season, they’re bigger, bolder, and more versatile than ever. Motorcycle boots, with their chunky soles, buckles, and hardware, offer a perfect mix of grit and glam. And the best part? They’re just as much at home with a romantic dress as they are with a pair of ripped jeans.
What makes biker boots such a winner this season? They mix well with any aesthetic. Pair them with flowy midi skirts to tone down the femininity, or style them with sleek trousers for a more polished, fashion-forward look.
