This weekend marked the first day of fall, and even though the temperatures are still in the mid-80′s in our neck of the woods, we’re already preparing for cool weather fashion! The first thing we pulled out were our favorite fall boots. Nothing says autumn quite like a pair of cozy socks and slouchy boots, right? We’re already thinking of how we’re going to replace our summer sandals for warm leather and stacked heels, and we came up with a game plan! Fill your closet with these staple pieces and you’ll be ready for whatever comes your way this season.

1. A Classic Cognac Riding Boot

This might just be our top pick. The classic shape of the riding boot never goes out of style, and cognac leather is one of the most versatile colors you can get. Wear with everything from basic skinny jeans to sheer tights and a shirt dress. You can’t go wrong with these!

2. A Western Ankle Boot

This is a piece you may not have considered, but you’ll be glad you picked it up! The short stacked heel makes it perfectly wearable day in and day out with dresses and jeans alike. It’s also the perfect answer for what to wear with your wide leg jeans this fall!

3. A Basic Black Slouch Boot

This one’s a no-brainer. Slouch boots are a must-have for fall because they go with just about everything, and couldn’t be more comfy. You may already have them in brown, but pick them up in black or grey for a new twist on this classic shape that’ll match perfectly with this season’s deeper tones.

4. A High-Heeled Ankle Boot

This will become your go-to going out shoe, for sure! The platform and covered ankle make this shoe so wearable for a night on the town, and the style is just perfect for dresses or skirts worn over sheer tights or leggings when it gets colder. The classic shape will make this a staple in your closet for years to come.

With these four stand-by staples, your closet will be ready to greet the new season in style! Shop these styles and more in our boots section.
