When it comes to fall boot trends, there are really only two you need to worry about… As the A/W 18 runway shows so clearly portended, rock 'n' roll–inspired styles are indeed everywhere, as are lace-up–style booties Victorian dreams are made of. This dreamy pair from Marc Fisher LTD clearly got the memo, effortlessly combining both must-have trends into one ridiculously chic final product. (Psst—Who What Wear readers can save 20% on full-priced items in the designer's F/W 18 Line Up by entering code WWW20 at checkout from October 1–28.)
WHAT THEY ARE:
Constructed in shiny black leather, Marc Fisher Ltd.'s Bowie Boots feature a secretly functional inner zipper as well as the super-directional lace-up front. Pairs well with that weathered copy of Jane Eyre you've got sitting pretty on your nightstand.
WHY I NEED TO HAVE THEM:
These trending yet super-wearable boots were made for walking, dancing ("Starman," anyone?), commuting… You name it. They're a little bit Victorian, a little bit rock 'n' roll, if you will: In other words, they'll be equally at home with an au courant prairie dress as they will be your off-duty jeans–and–band tee look.
