One thing’s for sure: Everyone in the Who What Wear office has brought their A-game this season when it comes to boots. I’ve seen lace-ups, thigh-highs, slouchy styles, mock croc—you name it—but personally, I’m all about booties. They’ve been making their way into most of my new fall getups (yes, even here in L.A., where the sun continues to shine), as they’re so easy to pair with transitional pieces—plus they never fail to help pull an outfit together.
So when I found out about Kenneth Cole’s Techni-Cole boots, I immediately fell in love. They’re chic, sure, but they also happen to be extremely comfortable. That’s all thanks to the designer’s genius "Rebound System,” which involves cushion-y layers and sneaker-like flexibility without sacrificing style. Obviously these winners have made their way to the top of my bootie rotation, but perhaps you’d like to know how I’m styling each pair for the season ahead. Without further ado…
