Behold the Statement Bootie: Your Go-To Shoe of the Season

This cute little bootie has so many iterations for fall (and you know we love options). From cool Chelsea boots and military-inspired lace-ups to retro velvet textures and folksy floral prints, there’s seriously something for every agenda. But where to begin? We’re looking to our favorite street-style stars for a little anywhere, anytime inspo.

In the Office

Put a spin on your average 9-to-5 footwear by experimenting with out-of-the-box textures. Swap tired black leather for a sweet velvet variety or a contrast-colored heel. Or go all-out military with lace-ups paired with a structured blazer.

On a Date

Sturdy booties are structured enough to balance the most feminine of dresses. Try an edgy laser-cut or folk-inspired printed pair to keep things from feeling too precious.

At Brunch

Brunch calls for a look that’s relaxed and effortless (pancakes and unlimited mimosas agree). Classic, slightly rugged styles, like lived-in Chelsea boots, are comfy yet still OOTD-worthy.
