If you follow Emily Ratajkowski, you know she's the queen of wearing dresses with trendy shoes, which is what she did yesterday in New York City. While the dress-and-shoe combination she wore isn't really groundbreaking, it is a strong indicator of what's to come this fall.
Celebrities and influencers have taken to wearing knee boots this summer, as Ratajkowksi displayed, pairing black-heeled ones with a ruffled Reformation dress. The airy dress made the boots look far more summer-friendly, and as we'll soon be transitioning to fall, it's the perfect way to make your summer dresses more fall-friendly.
Knee boots have been the go-to style for the past couple of seasons, trumping over-the-knee and even ankle boots. Given that people have even been wearing the style in the summer, you can put money on the fact that they'll be the go-to shoe style to wear with dresses this fall.
