The Western boot trend was huge in 2018 and it’s back this season with a bang. Go all out with Topshop’s BLISS Western Boots, which also give a nod to the continued popularity of all things animal print. We also love this bold monochrome style from ZARA. For wear-with-anything appeal, more understated black cowboy-inspired boots are also aplenty this autumn. The contrast stitching and toe details makes Topshop’s MARIO Western Boots stand out from the crowd, but paired back and current boots can also be found at both H&M and ASOS Design – at great value prices!

Our love for animal print runs deep and a print boot is an effortless way to add interest to a plain look. 2019 is all about snakeskin prints, with a variety of colours and styles on offer. Whistles’ luxe Grove Snake Western Ankle Boot is sure to last for seasons to come, and we’ve also got our eye on Topshop’s similar khaki design. Can’t stray from an all-black edit? ZARA (as ever!) has us covered with its Snakeskin Print Leather High-heel Ankle Boots. For a slightly bolder take on snake print, opt for these styles from ASOS Design and H&M.

Gone are the days of white boots looking cheap. Every bit as versatile as the trusty black ankle boot, white options add a contemporary and chic touch to casual edits – we love to pair this look with black denim or summer dresses. The contrast heel on this Marks and Spencer design is sure to turn heads. Similarly, these Charles & Keith boots have been given a contemporary edge with their metal heel. A classic go-to is Topshop’s HERO Leather White Boots, or for a slightly more subtle option, go for the BIRCH Taupe Block Boots.

Perfect for toughening up feminine looks, chunky boots are big for AW19. Lace-up hiking-inspired styles are everywhere, following in the footsteps of the classic Doc Martens. We love Whistles’ Amber Lace Up Boot, along with Topshop’s OSLO Black Chunky Lace Up Boots and H&M’s purse-friendly design. ZARA is also ticking all the boxes with its grungy Flat Track Sole Stretch Ankle Boot. Wear now with floral dresses and you’ll be covered whatever the Hong Kong weather throws at you.

Though this vintage-inspired style may not be for everyone, it can be worn with everything from jeans and a t-shirt to print midi dresses. Our pick of the bunch is the Dahlia Lace Up Boot from Whistles, but Marks and Spencer dupe (available in black, tan and stone!) is already proving popular. Tap into the animal-print trend with this croc design from ASOS Design, or opt for ZARA’s white lace-ups.
