The first outing of a new pair of killer boots is one of my favourite things about Autumn, especially when a rake of crunchy leaves are involved! To be fair, I'm one of those people who wear ankle boots all year around, which our not-so-hot Northern Ireland climate most definitely allows for. While they may be a constant in my wardrobe, we're properly spoilt for choice when it comes to footwear this season - from super chic to edgy AF.
2019 Booty Trends
The Western boot trend has piqued in 2019, looking sharper than ever with squared off toes and multiple finishes from patent to print (check out Zara's pillar box red pair below).
I'm a big fan of Winter Whites, but if that's not your thing, try cream or pale stone boots as a fresh, modern way to break up an all black outfit.
Feeling extra bold? Opt for brights, metallics and animal print. Fear not if Prada et al are out of reach, as the High Street has your back, with absolute show stoppers at Zara, Next and forever faithful M&S.
In complete contrast, I'm drawn to the rich earthy tones in opulent velvet and suede, as seen at Louboutin, Miista Lorelle and Mint Velvet.
Seriously kickass chunky hiking boots are also de rigeur for AW 2019 and add serious edge to any outfit, spotted everywhere from Miu Miu to New Look.
Check out my edit of the ultimate ankle boots for perfectly clad toes this season. And don’t forget that it’s #SecondHandSeptember so keep an eye on eBay, Vestiaire Collective, HEWI and in your local charity shops for pre-loved items which fall into the trends bracket.
