Attention, please. It is at last time to reintroduce your beloved ankle boots back into your wardrobe rotation. That’s right. September is almost over and it’s high time we strap into something sturdier for the autumn months.
Though we’ll be packing away our strappy sandals with an appreciative smile on our face, we’re secretly thrilled we no longer have to weigh up whether it’s weather-appropriate to style ankle boots, as autumn’s blustery days make boots no-brainer.
As we gear up for the winter season, we’re prioritising excellent quality, sleek cuts and a comfortable step in our ankle boots. On that note, I’ve narrowed down my search criteria to low heel ankle boots, which are a winner for comfort, practicality and style—all of which are as important as each other, as once you’ve shopped your perfect pair you’ll find it hard to resist wearing them everyday.
As we’ve seen over the past few months, both celebrities and the style set are swapping out their high heels for flat shoes, whether running errands or attending weddings. In the summer months this manifested as the ballet flats and Mary Janes trend which was spotted on Zoë Kravitz, Kate Moss and Katie Holmes amongst others. As the seasonal switch occurs, low-heel boots are scheduled to rift off the flat-shoe trend right on time for the winter months ahead. The true beauty of low-heel ankle boots rests in their styling potential. The best friend of straight-leg jeans and wide leg trousers, they can ground a day-time outfit adding a polished flare and smarter finish.
I typically shop for a smart black pair of ankle boots, but have recently been charmed by brown and beige offerings that are creeping onto the scene. From H&M to Toteme, shop the best of the bunch below.
