This Year's Top 12 Boot Trends

Stepping Out

The updated scrunch boot (Michael Kors, $895), equipped with an elasticized ruffled top, flatters calves. Crush it down over leggings (Riller & Fount), as shown, or wear pulled up under a knee-length dress. And if you do orange only with black or brown, you're barking up the wrong tree; it's chicer now to juxtapose bold colors—here, a scarlet coat (Moschino Cheap and Chic) and maroon bag (Botkier).
