Don’t Be Intimidated by the Over-the-Knee Boot!
’Tis the season for fall boots—and no style is demanding our attention quite like over-the-knee ones from Khaite, Chloé, Veronica Beard, Reformation, and more. As modeled by this fashion darling, the leggy essential goes with anything and everything, but especially a knockout knit and miniskirt.

She’s Got Edge
While there’s nothing wrong with the classic Mary Jane, fall’s versions, like those from Tory Burch, Ganni, and Le Monde Beryl command a downtown edge. With details like chunky hardware, unexpected shapes, and glossy leathers, pair yours with everything from suede skirts to chunky knitwear.

Sure as Suede
All things are coming up suede for fall—even boots. The sumptuous texture adds an element of luxury to any look you have up your sleeve, whether that’s a printed midiskirt and polished button-up or festive fall dress. Shop knee-highs from Staud and Banana Republic or the best in booties from Aeyde, Saint Laurent, and Toteme.

The Model Off-Duty Must-Have
A penny loafer might be the ultimate wardrobe essential, but this fall, why not go for something slightly more elevated? Enter the sleek smoking loafer. As modeled by this model-off-duty, the luxurious footwear find takes any outfit to the next level, whether you sport yours from G.H. Bass or The Row with a casual sweatshirt or relaxed-fit trouser.

Mighty Pythons
Another must-have animal print to play with this fall? Python! Yes, snakeskin-effect styles are not only street style staples, but Vogue editor ones, too. Just take Vogue’s global head of fashion network, Virginia Smith, for example. She sported Khaite’s python-printed Nevada boots with her signature all-black ensemble. The final look was minimalist, but with a twist. Not just boots are up for grabs, though, shop printed ballet flats, kitten heels, and even penny loafers, below.

Get the Ladylike Look
The office was top of mind on the fall/winter 2024 runways with the spotlight on perfectly polished pumps. Some featured festive elements (sleek satin, beaded tips), while others proposed pops of color in the wardrobe with bold burgundy and buttery yellow. Like stylist Gabriela Karefa Johnson, get the modern ladylike look with the below pairs from Prada, Tory Burch, Reformation, and Mango.

Cozy Up!
One surefire way to stay cozy and chic all season long? A minimal effort, high-reward mule. During Milan Fashion Week, this showgoer slipped into her suede pair with a simple blue jean and white T-shirt. The result was basic but hardly boring. Classic black slip-ons from Saint Laurent and Massimo Dutti are classics in the making, while Chloé’s fur-lined mules are the ultimate status symbol this season. Take your pick, below.

Easy Riders
Stepping into a leather riding boot for fall isn’t exactly a new fashion revelation, but these easy riders from Gucci, The Row, and even Cos are at the heart of any chic street stylers’ look this fall. You can never go wrong with a classic black pair, but offerings in rich chocolate brown or burgundy take the seasonal classic to new heights.

Go Retro
We can thank Miu Miu x New Balance for making the retro sneaker a fashion fixture amongst the street style scene. As seen here on retail and brand strategist, Ramya Giangola, the viral shoe looks effortless when paired with Prada’s canvas barn jacket and a little black dress, proving that the sneaker can—and should—be worn with almost anything in your closet. Options from Nike, Adidas, Dries Van Noten, and Saint Laurent offer up a similar vintage vibe.
