Choosing a pair of shoes to step out in is a crucial step in building an outfit and making the look you envisioned truly come to life. Whether you have an extensive shoe collection with a pair (or three) to suit every possible occasion or are all about investing in staple styles that are versatile, high quality and will last for years to come, there are a few types of shoes and boots that are a must in every wardrobe. 

Here, we’re delving into the must have boot styles that are guaranteed to level up any outfit and withstand the inevitable come and go of seasons, trends and crazes. 

Western Boots

Since their origin in the mid-western desert plains of the United States in the 1800s, the western style boot has kept its defining characteristics but evolved into a fashionable and wearable style that belongs in every wardrobe. Featuring a sturdy Cuban heel, pointed toe, and of course the iconic intricate stitching and detailing, the western inspired boot brings another level of style to any outfit. With knee high, mid calf and ankle lengths to suit every frame and personal style, a pair of western ‘cowboy’ inspired boots are a must have that will never not be on trend.

Ankle Boots

Ankle boots are the ultimate transeasonal piece to add to your footwear collection. Pairing just as seamlessly with flared jeans or corduroy pants as they do a flirty summer mini dress or flowing maxi skirt, we can’t go past them. Ankle boots with a small heel will elongate your figure and effortlessly dress up even the simplest of looks. Look for a quality leather pair in staple black or distressed brown and explore unique textures and accents with suede and stitching.

Heeled Boots

Heeled boots are by far the easiest way to take any outfit from day to night. Lengthening your legs and adding a touch of feminine edge, they’re guaranteed to level up your look long after the sun has set. A block heel and knee high length is a style that will never not be on trend. Style up a monochrome outfit with a textured, snakeskin inspired finish or keep it simple with classic black, deep brown or light tan colored leather. 

Statement Boots

Once you’ve covered the basics, a statement pair of boots is the final piece you need to complete your shoe collection. Think bold, bright hues such as turquoise blue and fuchsia pink or standout patterned finishes. Whether you feel like adding a little something extra to your go-to basic outfit or are opting for a maximalist finish by mixing and matching prints and hues, a statement pair of boots are the answer to your call.
