Sure, we might still be in the thick of July, but that hasn't stopped fashion's most devoted from turning their attention to the cooler seasons ahead. With autumn styling inspiration already creeping onto our feeds, I spotted Elsa Hosk showcase one of the chicest takes on transitional dressing—weaving next season’s biggest shoe trend into her warm-weather wardrobe in a way that made her summery dress feel instantly more directional.
Ditching the predictable flip-flops and jelly sandals of the season, Hosk styled her Helsa Mini Dress With Lace (£253)—a floaty thigh-grazing piece that captures the light-touch spirit of summer—with a gungy pair of dark biker boots, nodding to the shoe trend that will coax fashion's chicest away from their flip-flops in due course.
When the high-summer heat begins to fade, this dress-and-boot pairing is exactly what fashion insiders will be reaching for on repeat, adding extra coverage while weaving a grounded, richer element into their favourite summer dresses.
Picking up on the biker boots trend that began to gain traction last winter, I have no doubt that the casual boots will be back for another season of success soon. Keep scrolling for my edit of the best white dresses and biker boots to shop now.
