The Little Black Book of Black Boots

While your canvas kicks and dainty pumps are tried and true classics, there’s a new crop of shoes looking to take hold of your footwear collection. Simple and versatile, yet mysterious and alluring, a pair of black boots is ready to make your closet its new stomping grounds.

For shoes to put your best foot forward in, look to the assortment of pitch-black boots featured in our little black book below, for a style that fits your needs.

The Chelsea

For a throwback to the British invasion of the swinging 60s, pull on a pair of sleek Chelsea boots for a polished finish to your rock n’ roll vibe. Gold hardware, a slight heel and contrasting-hued elastic panels are subtle details that update the understated design of the Chelsea. Tuck in or cuff dark wash skinnies and top it off with an essential leather jacket for the ultimate  off-duty model look.

The Thigh High

Bid farewell to tights in favor of slinky thigh highs that save you from dealing with the snags and tears of hosiery. Slip on a flat pair over skinny jeans with a knit cardigan for an ensemble that gives off laidback, yet put together vibes. Elevate your style – and your height – with a heeled, leather pair that amps up the sex appeal of a flirty mini dress.

The Equestrian

Get on your high horse with a pair of refined ebony riding boots that reflect your preppy ways. Whether you opt for a quilted, glossy pair or a buckled alternative, these sleek wonders are the sophisticated companion to a tweed blazer or a crisp button-down shirt.

The Biker

Studs, buckles and fringe, oh my! Take a stride on the wild side with no-nonsense biker boots that pay an ode to your edgier half. Dress them up with a prim and proper lace dress or contrast them with a pair of trousers with a tucked in short-sleeved shirt for a look that embraces the mantra, “Opposites attract.”

The Cowboy

No longer limited to ranchers, kick up in a pair of inky cowboy boots for a play on an east meets west look. Take on the role of an urban cowboy and don a denim on denim uniform in contrasting washes with an embroidered pair of cowboy boots. Pass on a cowboy hat for a pair of sleek, mirrored aviators instead.

When it comes to shoes, don’t be left in the dark about the versatility and timelessness of a black boot.

Give the boot to other footwear and slip into a classic black boot.
