If you can find a more iconic fashion duo than the dress-and-boot combo, do tell. This pairing is so easy to fall back on right now when the days are shortening and the weather is dull so we’re not able to get as creative with our wardrobes. Grab a go-to dress, throw on a pair of sheer tights and your favourite boots and you’re ready.
We’ve spotted some of our favourite influencers wearing excellent dress-and-boot combinations recently, which inspired us to start the shopping list below. Although you can be pretty safe in the knowledge that most boot styles go with most dresses, these street style looks might just inspire you to leave your comfort zone and try a new pairing this season. I’m on the lookout for the perfect black chunky pair to balance out the feminine maxi dresses I’m lusting after this season. Midi dresses were made for knee-high boots, and longer maxi styles work excellently with statement ankle boots.
