Booting Up! – 20 Best Trending Fall Boots for 2022

Back by popular demand, welcome to our annual Fall boots article, showcasing 20 trending looks for business, casual and dressy…

After this latest round of melting heat, we are soooo ready to say adios to those summer sandals and hello to cool, breezy fall boots. This season welcomes the return of some iconic pieces as well as the warm embrace of newer silhouettes, and of course, some bold concepts for the true fashionmonger.

First off, let’s be honest – sometimes fall weather can be kinda gross. Rainy slick sidewalks, puddles of unknown material and depth, and of course the mud. So it’s not surprising that rubber rain boots continue to be a repeat favorite every year. This season we’re not quibbling over tall or short – all heights are welcome, especially when they come in fun color pops and matte finishes. Case in point, these phenom Jimmy Choo half boots that will have you humming a *certain* Prince tune on a rainy day.

Looking for your new wardrobe staple? On-trend platform soles and dramatic heels make these perfect with everything from your mini skirt to wide legged jeans. The soft matte nubuck material lends a versatility and ease with just a hit of bling courtesy of little rhinestone charms just below the cuff. YW.

Simply put, the Chelsea will never go out of style. But this season’s update has a slightly taller shaft height. This one from M. Gemi hits the right note, and we’re loving the adaptation with the stacked heel. If you’re dreaming of this one, better grab a pair fast. These handmade, Tuscan Italian lovelies are limited edition only.

M. Gemi, The Ravenna in Tan $348

This season’s fem-power booster boot is the Platform. These stomping beauties from Sam Edelman suggest power and presence…and pink (hey there Barbiecore fans, your boots await).

Wearing ski boots nowhere near a mountain range may seem unusual, but that’s precisely what high end designers are pushing, as last season’s dabbling in après ski fashion has become this season’s pure obsession.

On the flip side, we have the form-fitting fashion wave, giving us skin tight shafts in all manner of lengths and colors. These ruby red booties from rag & bone will add sartorial elegance to any outfit, but you’ll find them exceptionally fetching with your high-rise, wide leg, ankle length jeans and slacks.

Remember Sock Boots? They’re baaaaaack. And while their look can be galvanizing, it’s impossible to argue the hygge feel of sliding them on. These robin blue beauties from CamperLab are surprisingly versatile and will look amazing as a color pop against those more moody autumn colors.

Another return visitor? Wedge heeled techno boots. These creamy cuties from Off-White are as much a conversation piece as they are an investment piece…lucky you, we found them on sale.

And for our last lovely to round out our list – the returning GOAT of F/W fashion…the Timberland boot. From J. Lo to Rihanna these iconic waterproof stompers are instantly recognizable in their wheaty yellow leather. And while the traditional flat heels will do you just fine, why not upgrade to this season’s spin with it’s chunky 2.25″ heel?

Timberland, Kinsley 6″ Waterproof Boot $139.95
