This New Boot Trend Is About to Blow Up

Boots are to fall as swimsuits are to summer—an absolute necessity. This season, however, we want you to forget all about your typical black suede ankle boots (temporarily at least) to make room for something much more striking. Metallic ankle boots are quickly becoming one of the biggest boot trends for fall, which for a shoe so bold, sort of surprises us. Which is why we are here to convince you that this silvery and eye-catching shoe style is one that will go with more in your closet than you may assume.
For starters, we are all about fresh ways to liven up a pair of jeans and a T-shirt. The addition of metallic boots in this case is the perfect answer. This new boot trend also looks great when offset by more tailored pieces like cropped trousers and sleek blazers. Whichever way you choose to wear them, as proven by the street style elite, metallic boots will add that needed pizazz to any fall outfit you have in mind.
