Plus, with the addition of the ‘90s and early 2000s platform trend, they’re an easy way to add both height and personality to your travel wardrobe. The options are as versatile as they are stylish, from classic Dr. Martens that nail the edgy vibe to Vionic loafers that are podiatrist-approvedso you don’t have to sacrifice comfort for style.

Trend: Boat Shoes
Amazon
Consider boat shoes the most controversial comeback of the season. While some may love them for their easy slip-on design and preppy, nautical charm, others need a little more convincing to embrace the trend. But here’s the thing—this fall, brands are reimagining the classic boat shoe with sleeker silhouettes, fresh materials, and even chunky soles, like these Dr. Scholl’s Madison Sea shoes that feel more street-style than dockside. You can wear them with relaxed trousers or even a midi dress. Love them or not, boat shoes are definitely making waves this fall.

This fall, designers are leaning into taller silhouettes, as seen on the Dream Pairs Knee-high Motorcycle Bootsand even shorter options like the Hawkwell Combat Ankle Boots. You can pair them with leggings or an oversized blazer for the journey, then throw them on with a slip dress for a comfortable evening out. Equal parts functional and fashion-forward, moto boots are the kind of statement shoes that easily transition from fall into winter.

Trend: Riding Boots

Classic riding boots are the fall staple that never really goes out of style.

Perfect over skinny jeans, with leggings, or peeking out from under a maxi skirt, they are the ideal balance between tailored and practical.
