I'm Putting Black Boots on Pause—5 Trending Colours I'm Wearing Instead This Winter


I’m not a shoe person in the way that Carrie Bradshaw is a shoe person—i.e. with boxes upon boxes of designer stilettos crammed into a studio apartment—but I do have a weakness for boots. Every autumn, without fail, I tell myself my collection is big enough, only to change my mind as my inbox fills with new-season knee-highs and Chelsea boots. It’s only a matter of time before I take a leaf out of SJP’s book and start using my oven for storage.

However, most of my boots are black—a colour I consider timeless, versatile, and easy to maintain with a bit of polish and a trusted cobbler on hand. However, this year, I’ve noticed some chic new shades stepping into the spotlight. So, in the spirit of broadening my sartorial horizons, I’ve done my research and identified the top five boot colour trends for autumn/winter 2024.
