Friday Favorites: Top 7 Fall Boot Trends + Link-Up
Happy Friday, friends! This weekend is actually labor day weekend. I say actually because last week I jumped the gun and thought it was the holiday weekend! Living under a rock, much? I must have been thinking it was the holiday since it was technically the first weekend of the month. Thanks to all who filled me in! Now that we got that out of the way, what’s everyone doing for the long holiday weekend?
As we’re heading into September, we’re also quickly approaching the fall season! I’ve been working on updating my wardrobe and trading out some of my summer brights for the deep hues of autumn. I was realizing that I hadn’t updated my fall/winter shoe collection in years, so I headed out to Famous Footwear’s BOGO sale last weekend and got some new kicks. Seeing all of the new boots was so exciting for me as a fashion enthusiast, so today we’re covering the top fall boot trends for our Friday Favorites collection.

1- Peep-Toe Booties
Show skin during the fall? Typically, the fall season is all about layers and layers. This boot trend definitely defies that concept, but I’m loving it because it’s such an unexpected detail. It’s the perfect transition shoe! I probably wouldn’t flaunt these on a snowy day, but it’s ideal for these in between days where the weather isn’t quite hot or cold.

2- Classic Combat Boots
Combat boots are typically a little too ‘hard’ for my style but they’re everywhere this season and I have to admit, I’m intrigued. It really is all in the way you style it! Similar to cargo jackets, you can simply add these boots to a feminine look for a great contrast (see previous post: 4 Fall Essentials & How To Wear Them).

3- Heeled Combat Boots
This is the perfect way to add a feminine twist to the combat boot style; a heel! These are super cute because a heeled boot is the best kind, plus they kind of remind me of a retro roller skate. It definitely makes the combat boot trend a little more my style!

4- Fold-over Combat Boots
I said combat boots were in this season, right? I’m sorry if I’m seeming to be redundant, but these styles are everywhere and they’re really pretty different. I love this fold-over boot trend because there are at least two ways you can wear them by default! Wear them laced up or wear them folded over for a completely different look. Talk about versatility!
5- Blue Suede Booties
Suede everything is in this fall, but I’ve been seeing a lot of blue suede shoes in particular. I’m such a fan of navy, especially for the fall season, so I’ve really had my eye on a few pairs of these!

6- Block Heel Boots
I love block heels because you get the best of both worlds; comfort and height! These block heel boots are absolutely stunning. I love when the color of the heel contrasts with the boot. I’ve been seeing a lot of these in many different styles!

7- Riding Boots
I absolutely love high boots and I love the preppy, equestrian style. So naturally, I love riding boots! I just got this exact pair at that BOGO sale at Famous Footwear and I’m so in love with them. The detailing is so chic! I have a difficult time finding high boots that fit me because I have ‘dancer calves,’ but these are a perfect fit. I got them in both brown and black so I’m set for the season, and hopefully seasons to come!

Great selection of booties. I recently got something similar to the blue suede booties. And I love those fold over combat boots.
Thanks for hosting the link up & have a wonderful weekend!

Great selection, Im a fan of block heel boots the most as they give you height but are very comfortable to wear all day x
