Boots are always a key investment for this time of year. However, when we spoke to luxury fashion buyers to compile our autumn/winter 2021 trend report, they all stressed how this is the year of the boot. If you are considering purchasing a pair of designer boots, below, we have a guide to the brands we think are really worth investing in.
“Boots are a staple for this season,” said Tiffany Hsu, the fashion buying director at MyTheresa. “Carrying on from last year, the utilitarian mood was a favourite in Milan—particularly from the likes of Prada and Miu Miu, which offered full, army-inspired, heavy-duty styles. High combat boots are making a comeback, too, with more and more knee-high, lace-up black boots appearing across the brand board.”
If you’re into the chunky-boot trend, then Prada, Proenza Schouler and Bottega Veneta are the brands leading the charge here. If you want something a little sleeker, we love the knee-high leather boots at Paris Texas and Gianvito Rossi. If you want your designer boots to be distinctive, then Gucci’s and Valentino’s logo-emblazoned black leather boots might be the ones for you.
