I was starting to think that flip-flop season would never end (and it still kind of hasn't), but we finally made it to boot season. Jessica Alba, for one, is armed and ready. She was photographed stepping out for dinner in Beverly Hills this week, wearing the one boot trend that I think is an essential to own for fall 2025 (and beyond): brown suede knee boots.
There are numerous boot trends in play right now, and I know it can get overwhelming. Add to that the fact that boots can be quite an investment, especially when compared to the aforementioned flip-flops we've all been wearing this summer (unless they're The Row, of course). But if you're going to invest in just one boot trend this season, brown suede knee boots are as wise a choice as it gets. Given that they elevate any outfit they're paired with (Alba wore a navy mini dress and long chocolate brown coat, FYI) and that they're timeless, which means you'll be wearing them for years to come, you can't go wrong.
With that, keep scrolling to see Alba's brown suede knee boot styling (which is perfect for this time of year) and shop my picks, ranging from kitten-heeled to riding boots to Western-inspired styles.
