5 boots to satisfy your shopping addiction as we wait for autumn

Swap your summer sandals for something that’ll get you (fashionably) through the cooler months ahead. So, what’s trending this season? Ankle boots with motorcycle-inspired details (such as zips and metal studs) and practical, low-heeled boots in metallics, neutrals and various shades of red. Of course, you can’t go wrong with a classic black boot, either. Scroll down to see our mini-roundup of the best boots from the autumn/winter 2018 collections.

Leather Weather: Dior

Dior’s artistic director, Maria Grazia Chiuri, gives the classic biker boot a fashionable twist by adding coloured stripes on the side and a practical 4.5cm heel. (Alternatively, you can opt for the higher boot which comes with an 8.5cm heel.) Wear it with straight-leg jeans and an oversized leather jacket when it starts to get chilly.

Heavy Metal: Chanel

Chanel’s low-heeled metallic boots – choose from either oxide gold or bronze leather – reference the colours and textures of the tree bark and autumn leaves décor at the house’s forest-themed ready-to-wear show. Available in three sizes, each shoe features a pointed tone-on-tone heel and a miniature double-C logo. We love.

Neutral Ground: Givenchy

Refresh your autumn wardrobe with a neutral-coloured pair of boots from French fashion label Givenchy. Go for the edgy zip ankle boots (it comes with a diagonal zip which can be folded over) or the elegant soft ankle boots made from lambskin. If you’re in the mood to splurge, then pick ‘em both.
