We’re officially in the depths of winter, and finally boot season too. However popular styles like over-the-knee and cowgirl are swiftly being swapped for the motorcycle trend. So is it time to update?
Taking inspiration from fashion week attendees, Miu Miu’s Fall Winter 2023 collection and stylish stars like Elsa Hosk, Rita Ora and Hailey Bieber, the ‘cool girl’ boot comeback, after it’s decade long hiatus, is worth taking noticed of. However, dipping your toe into this edgy trend can be daunting after a long period of ‘quiet luxury’ being the ultimate goal, and not to forget the western revival.
Whether you take inspiration from the cult designer styles with multiple buckles, textures and studs, or something more low cut and simple, we’ve got 3 easy ways to incorporate them into your winter looks if you choose to switch your boot game! Show them off with miniskirts, tuck them into a jean or add extra biker behaviour with an oversized leather jacket.
Tuck In
Not only are biker boots back, but tucking your pants into your boots is too. Take inspiration from Rita Ora and style them with lounge pants or denim and add a long trench coat to balance out the proportions. Try it for an easy off-duty-look fit for gloomy days.

Show Some Skin
Add some fun to a heavy boot and style with a mini skirt, or even a short. The fashion people seem to be rocking this look a lot, so we say give it a go! Keep skirts and dress in an A-line silhouette and if shorts are more your thing, stick to a Bermuda length to avoid looking like you’re attending a festival.

With A Midi
A grungy boot like this can add some edge to a midi dress whether it’s floaty or fitted. Make sure the boot length is a knee-high version, so you don’t shorten your legs. Balance it out with an oversized jacket or save this for later when the weather warms up.
