The right pair of boots can completely change the way an outfit comes together and this season, the details are especially good. Look for genuine leather or suede (non negotiable), sleek silhouettes, pointed and square toes, and taller shafts that give even the simplest outfit a more polished finish. From streamlined ankle boots to statement-making knee highs, the current styles feel refined, modern, and incredibly wearable.

One of the biggest boot moments this season? Knee-high boots paired with slouchy jeans. This runway-inspired combination brings a little more fashion to your everyday denim and is a great way to update the jeans you already own. I also recommend reaching for a knee-high boot when wearing dresses rather than automatically defaulting to an ankle bootie. The longer shaft creates a more intentional, elongated line and can make a dress feel instantly more elevated.

And one small styling detail makes a big difference: your jeans should cover the top of your boot shaft. If you’re wearing denim with an ankle boot, you don’t want a strip of skin peeking through between the hem and the boot. The goal is a continuous line from your jeans into your boots, no gap, no exposed ankle. The best boot isn’t necessarily the one that catches your eye first, it’s the one that works beautifully with the wardrobe you already own and the lifestyle you're living.

This week’s guide is designed to help you identify the silhouettes, details, and investment-worthy pairs that will make getting dressed this season feel more intentional.

And, just a friendly reminder, our Fall Fashion at Veronica Beard has a new date! Hopefully you can join us for a morning of champagne, trends, and shopping on Sunday, October 18th from 10am-1pm.
