Pump the Brakes on Booties—Kate Hudson Knows the Better Fall Shoe Trend to Pair With Dresses
With Coachella, Glastonbury, Outside Lands, Stagecoach, and Lollapalooza, music fans have had a ton of opportunities to see their favorite artists perform live this year. While these were all highly publicized events, there was one recent under-the-radar revelry you might not have known about: Up in the Sky Music Festival, held in Aspen, Colorado. As someone who's not very in-the-know when it comes to music, there's only one reason I heard about this event: Kate Hudson.
Hudson surprised the crowd by coming on stage during Role Model's song "Sally, When the Wine Runs Out." For her appearance, Hudson wore the exact outfit combo I'm dying to wear this fall: a long slip dress with knee-high suede boots. In my opinion, ankle boots with ultra-short shafts feel dated. Plus, I think it looks awkward when you leave some skin exposed between the bottom of your dress and the top of your boots, so knee-high boots solve that problem. Scroll down to see Kate Hudson's dance session and shop similar boots.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 14 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Kate and Meghan stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible.
