I’m half-Canadian, and I love nothing more than tapping into my roots by way of my outfits. I wear double denim on the regular, and cowboy is my boot of choice. The latter will come in particularly handy this season, as cowboy boots are set to be one of the biggest trends of autumn/winter 2022. Why? Not only were they prevalent on the runways—everyone from Celine to Western-faithful Isabel Marant showcased them in their new collections—but celebrities and fashion people can’t stop wearing them either.
Cowboy boots have long been a part of the cool-girl uniform, with editors and influencers choosing to wear them with everything from dresses to tailoring. Right now, however, I’m inspired by the slew of celebrities who have started wearing them ahead of autumn in the most stylish ways. Take Jodie Comer, for example. At Wilderness festival, the actor paired her cutesy floral minidress with a pair of sleek black leather cowboy boots, turning something that could have easily looked twee into a solid sartorial statement. I don’t consider it a coincidence that Sienna Miller also wore a pair of cowboy boots to a festival earlier this summer. At the same time, FKA Twigs and Emily Ratajkowski have also gone to lengths to prove that cowboy boots belong in the city with their equally impressive get-ups.
Keen to see how celebrities are wearing cowboy boots? Scroll on for some of my favourite looks. Then, proceed to shop my edit of the season’s best cowboy boots.

Oval sunglasses have the power to make any outfit look cool.
If you don’t already own a floral mini, this one is a cute suggestion.
These went from H&M’s new arrivals section straight into my basket.
Sienna Miller
Style Notes: Sienna Miller turned heads in her Mango minidress earlier this summer. However, upon reflection, I think it was her cowboy boots that ensured her look packed a style punch.

I can’t believe this dress is still in stock.
Simple jewellery is the perfect accompaniment to any outfit.
Minimalists, this is the cowboy boot for you.
FKA Twigs
Style Notes: Pairing her cowboy boots with woollen layers, FKA Twigs made an outfit that looks as if it was pulled straight from the A/W 22 runway—it’s that cool. Given her track record, I should expect nothing less, really.

Ponchos were another key trend on the 2022 runways.
A dress you can continue to wear throughout the shift in seasons.
Our entire team is obsessed with Reformation's latest cowboy-boot drop.
Emily Ratajkowski
Style Notes: What would a celebrity-outfit roundup be without a pair of classic jeans? Here, Ratajkowski makes a case for tucking your denim into your cowboy boots—a risk that has certainly paid off here. Finish with a tailored blazer to elevate the overall mood of your look.

A wardrobe staple.
