Now that the weather is finally cooperating, it’s time to acquaint yourself with fall’s biggest boot trends. The overarching theme is nostalgia, whether it’s for millennial staples (riding boots), ’80s excess (bold animal prints), or even an imagined past (cowboy-worthy silhouettes). These playful sources of inspiration have resulted some seriously good-looking styles—just take a look at the fall 2025 Chloé, Khaite, or Isabel Marant runways to see exactly what we mean.
Prefer your footwear forward-thinking? The season’s most-worn color trend is coming for our fall boots, while extra-slim soles have jumped from sneakers to boots. Since winter is all about covering up, in the months ahead, it’ll be the little footwear details that will make the biggest impact: just the right slouch, height, or eye-catching hardware. And paired with your favorite seasonal staples, you’ll achieve maximum style without much effort at all. Ready to revamp your footwear rotation? These are all the biggest boot trends to try this fall, according to style pros.

1. Chocolate-brown suedeFall and winter will be defined by one color (deep, rich brown) and one material (soft, supple suede). Combine them, and you get the boots everyone is clamoring to buy right now, along with equally trendy bags and jackets. Autumnal style icon Kate Middleton has already cosigned the trend, which our editors spotted at every Fashion Week stop this season. Our advice? Skip the faux stuff—real suede looks so much better in every silhouette imaginable. Invest in some suede-protecting spray and you’re set for the season.

2. French-girl bootsFrench-girl style is at the forefront of fashion right now, and we’re finding ourselves daydreaming about the Parisian woman’s usual footwear of choice: pointy-toe ankle boots with walking-friendly heels. Their true appeal is for layering; they tuck deliciously into jeans of all stripes, including Francophile-friendly cuts like cigarette-, straight-, and wide-leg. (Tailored trousers and maxiskirts are also very much in the mix.) The result is a metropolitan look that pairs well with everything from trench coats to hoodies—every city girl’s dream.

3. Animal printsLeopard! Snakeskin! Zebra! Animal print is one of 2025’s key fashion trends, so of course it’s also coming for our footwear. Fall’s runways were a veritable safari, and our editors have already started noticing countless snakeskin and faux-hide pairs on the streets of New York. That’s thanks to the rise of “boom boom”—an ’80s-inflected aesthetic that takes cues from power dressing and yuppie culture—which encompasses this eye-catching footwear. Style your picks with oversized suits for power lunches at the office, denim midiskirts for Sunday brunch, or LBDs during dinner dates.

4. Riding bootsTall leather boots popped up this season at Burberry, Hermès, GmbH, and Saint Laurent men’s, among many other shows. (It’s only fitting, considering Frye’s Campus boots took off after being worn by Zendaya and Olivia Rodrigo last year.) You don’t need to update your styling much from the last time you wore riding boots; they look great layered over slim jeans with a nipped-waist blazer, playing into their equestrian roots. Go ahead and invest now: Copenhagen-based brand The Garment just showed riding boots for spring 2026, and we’re willing to bet they’ll be relevant for at least another year.

5. Western accentsLuxury labels like Gabriela Hearst and Isabel Marant, along with cultural juggernauts like Beyoncé, have cosigned this fact: One of fall’s key muses is the cowboy. Western details like curved heels, buckled straps, rounded shafts, and decorative stitching—all toned down enough to mix into your regular wardrobe without becoming cosplay—abound in this season’s footwear. Try these pairs with simple straight-leg jeans, throwing in pops of suede to further nod to Westernwear.

6. Flat silhouettesExtra-slim sneakers have been all the rage in 2025, and that same low-to-the-ground silhouette is slowly trickling into other kinds of footwear. Cool-girl labels Fforme, Proenza Schouler, and Alberta Ferretti applied it to their boots this season, and the effect is gorgeous—a luxe, eye-catching update to the sock boots that trended a decade ago. Our edit includes truly heelless options, booties with the most micro-heels possible, and one TikTok-famous pair that literally looks like a pair of socks.

7. Pirate bootsA decidedly adventurous energy flowed through some of our favorite fall collections, from ruffled blouses and relaxed boots at Ralph Lauren to romantic lace and hardware-heavy footwear at Zimmermann. The result? We’re now obsessed with pirate boots: pretty much any pair with the right alchemy of slouch, weathering, metal accents, and/or devil-may-care attitude. Go with a voluminous skirt or a sleek jacket to lean into fall’s boho vibe—less swashbuckler, more fashion editor.
