Step lively in this season's gorgeous boots! We've rounded up the latest and greatest, including runway-inspired ankle stilettos, classic knee-high styles, edgy wedges, and yes, shbooties—along with tips on how to wear them all with flair.
A graphic black-and-white paddock boot gets even more playful when paired with socks. (If this look feels too young for you, opt for opaque black tights instead.) A patchwork play on menswear prints can also add zing to solid black outfits.
