Gigi Hadid Swapped Her Sneakers for the Boot Trend That's All Over H&M and Reformation

Around this time of year, I usually have a good scroll through Gigi Hadid's Instagram page and street style pap shots to assess some of the new trends she's gravitating toward. As the owner of a knitwear brand and true fashion insider, the oldest Hadid sister is often a treasure trove for autumn styling inspiration.
While out in New York this week, the model reaffirmed that she's still the best source of new inspiration. Subbing out the casual trainers that she normally reaches for, instead, Hadid jumped on board the chic boot trend that I've started to spot at some of my favorite high-street brands this month. We love how she styled her brown, glossy, mock-croc knee-high boots with proportions that added interest to her look.
This style is popping up across the high street, including at Reformation and H&M. In fact, knee-high brown boots are firmly set to be a major footwear trend this autumn. They're just as polished as their black counterparts, but perhaps even more versatile due to the fact they work with lighter colors, as black can often feel too harsh. This elegant boot adds a warm-looking finish to an autumn outfit without overwhelming the look.
Undoubtedly, it won't be long until the chicest brown boots are in short supply. To get ahead of the curve, read on to discover our edit of the best knee-highs to shop here.
