If you've looked into fall boot trends yet (and fine if you haven't—that's what I'm here for), chances are that there's one on the list that jumped out at you: witchy boots. Featured on the F/W 26 runways of Khaite and Prada, among several others, the style is characterized by Victorian-inspired features such as a turned-up toe (pointed or square) and lace-up closure. The pair Selena Gomez just wore in Venice, Italy featured the former.

Gomez's early-fall outfit included a brown mock-turtleneck tank and a suede column skirt in the same shade. As for her boots, don't be fooled by the term "witchy". They were anything but costume-y, with their subtly curled toe. And as a matter of fact, they also represented another major fall shoe trend. Boho-inspired slouchy boots are poised to be a big one, and the shaft of Gomez's boots exemplified that particular style.

In summary, if you're fully ready for some fall boot inspiration, scroll on to see Gomez's look and shop an assortment of subtly witchy styles.
