I'm calling it, it's time to start shopping for your new-season boots. As we all know far too well, the best buys always sell out way before the month you actually want to wear them. So now is in fact the perfect time to snap up the chicest styles ahead of the crowd.
There's one thing that stands in the way of me fully indulging my boot-buying habit, though: they're expensive. Especially if you favour leather iterations. Don't get me wrong, a good pair of boots is well worth the investment. Get it right and they could last you for many autumn/winter to come. But not all of us have the budget for super expensive footwear, which is why we're thankful that brands like H&M exist.
H&M regularly impresses me—from its knitwear to the dresses that all our editors have fallen for we've all sung the praises of this high-street hero countless times over the years. But I wanted to shine a spotlight on its shoe department, which, as I type this, is brimming with expensive-looking new-season autumn boot styles. From sleek knee-highs to biker boots and timeless heeled ankle boots, the boot section is particularly on point right now.
