Summer is officially done, but don't cry because it's over. Think of all the amazing fall outfits you can dig out of your closet! One look I'm specifically thinking about is the ever-compatible dress-and-boots combo. You can still wear some of your summer dresses into the new season by pairing them with stylish boots, or it's a great excuse to buy a new fall dress. (You know you want to.) Either way, I rounded up 33 boots that will go with any mini, midi, or maxi dress your heart desires during these transitional temps and well into the chillier months ahead. From sophisticated knee-high boots to trendy Western-inspired ones, there's a pair here for everyone. And if you've never styled boots with a dress before, consider this your sign to try it before 2024 turns into 2025. Just think of how easy it will be to get ready in the morning.
If your dress has some fall florals on it, opt for some biker boots to add contrast. Or if you're going with a classic LBD, throw on a stiletto pair to elevate your whole ensemble. I spent hours browsing for the coolest pairs that will complement any dress you might grab for autumn, so keep scrolling to get inspired by the best in fall footwear. Thank me later.
