For even the most change-resistant among us, fall is a season that represents new beginnings, especially where our wardrobes are concerned. Add a new job and a new city into the mix, and you’ll find that pulling together new-season magic takes a bit of extra effort and careful calculation.
Just ask Simone Randolph, a minimalistic mastermind whose thoughtful wellness and interior-design content has earned her over 116,000 followers (and counting) on TikTok. "This is my first fall as a full-time entrepreneur, so I’m looking forward to experimenting with more casual looks—neutral athleisure layers rather than business-casual pieces for the office,” explains Randolph, who recently relocated to Nashville. There’s one particular shoe trend she’s found herself gravitating toward as she readies her closet for the cooler, crisper days to come, and it’s a true classic: lug-sole boots. They’re chic, they’re versatile, and best of all, they’re comfortable (a must for a girl on the go). Continue reading to see how she’s styling her favorite Sorel boots for just about every occasion.
"I wanted to keep the base of this outfit neutral in order to allow the boot to be the core piece of the look,” Randolph explains of this casual but undeniably cool-girl ensemble. "I have a very short torso, so when working with high-waisted denim, I like to pair it with cropped jackets. I chose this deep-brown leather jacket to match the deep-chocolate tones of the boot.”
"When working with a pop of color, I prefer to color-block with one neutral tone,” she explains of this perfect date-night look anchored by her lug-sole Sorel boots. "I also like to incorporate different textures when working with an all-black look.”
Last but not least is this effortless weekend look. "I wanted to showcase the versatility of a Chelsea boot by going for a more casual look,” Randolph says of this perfect off-duty ’fit. "The neutral tone of the heel is brought forward by the jacket in the same tone, drawing the eye up to take in the full look.”
