I Thought These Shoes Were "Out," But Fashion People Won't Stop Wearing Them
There's no denying that the boho trend is on the up this season. Ushered in by Chloé's resoundingly successful A/W 24 runway collection that was shown at Paris Fashion Week earlier this year, the past few weeks have seen fashion people become overcome with a desire to style up frilly hemlines, voluminous silhouettes and clogs on repeat.
Swept up in this boho renaissance is the underrated but enduringly chic suede boot trend. No matter the season, boots come in very handy in any Brit's footwear collection. Let's face it., our weather is pretty unpredictable at the best of times, so boots never really become surplus to requirement. Personally I love seeing people wearing boots all year round; there's something indescribably cool seeing someone step out in some tasteful knee-highs and long wool skirts, as well as floaty floral dresses structure with a cowboy boot.
The tactile fabric of suede is much softer than its hide leather sibling. I also find hues of beige and tan look far more expensive in boot form when suede comes into play.
So between the boho trend we're seeing crop up and the demand for chic winter shoes reaching its peak, it's little wonder suede boots are now appearing across high street and designer retailers. In fact, I've seen more suede boots on social media this past week than I have over the last four or so months combined, so I know it's a thing.
Available in light creams, rich browns and deep black colours, the boot can compliment a variety of looks. Styling well with denim skirts and dresses throughout the autumn, as well with jeans and tailored trousers throughout the winter months, we're expecting to see a lot more of the versatile shoe this season.
From Toteme's elegant ankle boot, to COS's cowboy inspired style, there are a plethora of options on the market to suit your preference. So, read on to discover the suede boots we love right now.
