Get Out of Your Black-Boot Rut and Try This Equally Versatile (and Chic) Color Instead

Ridding boots are back in a big way. No longer just reserved for equestrians, these boots are welcome in our everyday lives and perfect for adding a touch of comfort to special moments, too.

Now’s the perfect moment to cozy up to a suede pair of boots. This pair comes with a faux take on the movement, which means it comes at a great price too.

Here’s a classic style that can be worn for years and years to come. Take the advice of reviewers and go up a size to wear them with your chunky winter-proof socks.

Customer review: “I love these! I got them in the mahogany color. I’m usually a size 8, but I got them in an 8.5 for comfort and they’re pretty true to size. I never usually wear heels but they’re so comfy even for my height (5’6).”

If you’re looking for a boot that can get the party started this holiday season, look no further. Retrofête’s take on the burgundy shoe is a triple threat with an embossed croc print, shiny patent leather finish, and an impressive stiletto heel.

For a bit of height without sacrificing comfort, opt for designs that come with a stacked heel. Mango’s style checks all of the boxes with a roomy square-toe silhouette.

Never underestimate the power of a boot with interesting details. Studio Amelia’s design stands out from the pack thanks to a curved heel and a cap-toe finish that screams chic.

Sometimes less is more, and Want Les Essentiels continues to prove that by creating elevated staples perfect for everyday wear. Picture this chunky heeled boot with your favorite pair of jeans or—better yet—a mini skirt and cardigan.

One of my all-time favorite brands for out-of-this-world boots is Gia Borghini. I own a similar pair from the label’s collaboration with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, but I just may have to add these slick burgundy boots to my fall collection too.

Here’s a subtle way to dabble into the animal print trend. I know several editors who have these Schutz boots in multiple colors. Plus, if you want more versatility, you can shop the exact style in an ankle-hugging silhouette too.

When it comes to chic, modern boots, Paris Texas is the brand to know. The label put an undeniably cool take on the burgundy boot by structuring this pair from a stretchy, sock-like material and anchoring it with strategically cut croc-embossed leather.

In case you couldn’t tell, there’s a huge wet-look trend happening right now. This pair is definitely guaranteed to bring in tons of compliments during your next night out.

Go big and tall or go home. Well, that’s the M.O. for Chloé’s collection of boots this season. The best part about these tall shoes is that they look great with shorts, mini skirts, and tucked into jeans.
