As the air turns crisp and the days grow shorter, we find ourselves in the delightful embrace of autumn. It’s that magical time of year when layering is essential, cozy nights in take precedence over outings, and the excitement of boot season returns. Dust off those boots, ladies—be they tall, short, ankle-high, or waterproof!
But here’s the kicker: combat boots are back, and it’s time to channel your inner rebel (or the high school version of yourself). These fierce footwear choices not only add an edge to your style but also come with a healthy dose of nostalgia. Honestly, I’m kicking myself for letting go of my beloved Dr. Martens from college. I thought I wouldn’t need them after graduation, but now I yearn to rock them again with my comfy boyfriend jeans. Like a fine wine, combat boots truly get better with age.
From the runways of New York Fashion Week to the streets, combat boots are more versatile than ever. They pair beautifully with everything from distressed denim and vintage tees (which you should definitely wear, you fashionista) to flowy dresses and skirts. The juxtaposition of tough boots with soft fabrics creates a stylish statement with minimal effort. Plus, they look effortlessly chic with leggings and an oversized sweater—an ensemble that screams, “I’ve totally got it together.”
Wear them tucked into your pants, layered over jeans, or alongside your favorite cut-off shorts. Combat boots are flattering for all ages. I recently spent an afternoon trying on an array of pairs with my daughter, and we were joined by a fabulous woman in her 60s who left with her own pair!
Today’s combat boots come in a plethora of styles compared to the limited options of the past. Choose from high or low cuts, heels, buckles, and of course, the iconic designs that remind us of our rebellious youth. The nostalgia is palpable!
Here are a few fabulous options:
- This stylish pair from Macy’s is available in black and brown, offering a rugged look without being overly bulky—all for under $80.
- The Dr. Martens Persephone Boot from Journeys has a unique silhouette that blends funk and femininity, making it perfect for just about any outfit.
- For those looking to step outside their comfort zone, an eye-catching over-the-knee pair for under $50 might be your next go-to.
- If you want to turn heads, check out the $60 velvet floral boots—my daughter snagged these, and they’re a definite showstopper.
- And, of course, you can’t forget the classic Dr. Martens combat boots, which are like a time machine for your feet, available for $135 or at Famous Footwear for $89.99. The ’90s are alive and well, baby!
So, if you’re a shoe lover like me or just eager to relive the glory days, now is the time to invest in a pair—or two. Just remember to hold onto them this time; they’ll surely cycle back into fashion again, and you’ll want to be prepared.
