Trends come and go; from comfycore to indie sleaze, Y2K to Barbiecore (although with the upcoming release of the new film, we are awaiting with bated breath as to how this will translate to fashion), there are always trending pieces and looks to tap into and shop.
Although some pieces are simply timeless, and just in time for autumn and winter we are looking at one of our very favourites – the ankle boot.
No matter the season, no matter the weather, the ankle boot is a wardrobe staple – and with updated styles and silhouettes, colours and textures to choose from, they are anything but basic.
A simple black ankle boot is easily styled with jeans and dresses or you can use your shoes to make a statement with a cowboy boot or metallic twist, the options are truly endless. And if you’re on the hunt for your new favourite pair, then you have come to the right place.
Below we are taking a look at some of our favourite ankle boots that have caught our eye as of late, and you can consider these high on our wishlist as we head into the chilly seasons as a stylish way to keep our feet cosy.
