These are the three kinds of boots you should be wearing this season

The maximalist spin on a simple shoe

You may have noticed that we have a thing for boots. Not just a thing, it’s a full-blown Carrie Bradshaw can’t-live-without-them obsession with them because of how they seem to elevate any kind of look.

Wearing a T-shirt and a pair of jeans? Slip on a pair of statement ones – you’re now streetstyle material.

Wearing a fancy frock? Slip on a pair of statement ones too, the limit doesn’t exist.

We’ve done the work for you and whilst here are many options this season, we are putting our money where our mouth is with these three winning styles.
