Fall Fashion: Let’s Talk Shoes

2026 Fall Trends

The most iconic part of your fall wardrobe is likely your shoes. Wherever you are, no matter the temperature, we allll want to put those comfy, cozy boots on when we leave the house. Styling trending boots doesn’t have to make you revert to toddler-like temper tantrums (but if you need to, let it all out girl). Let’s break down current fall fashion trends and let me be the first to remind you, FASHION IS CYCLICAL. Fall Fashion is possibly the most stable season, however, before you donate those boots with the fur, remember 20 somethings are scrambling to find velour juicy couture track suit sets for their 2026 (yes, y2k was 26 years ago) fall wardrobe! Save your clothes and save your pockets. 

I went ahead and linked some shoe protector sprays below so that you can both keep and actually wear your shoes for several years. A common misconception is that shoes are generally water proof, which is far from the truth, especially for UGGS. Using shoe protector spray protects your shoes from water damage, stains, and scuffs. These high-quality shoe protector sprays will help you maintain the quality of your shoes so they can last you for many seasons to come.

UGG Boots: Easy, Cozy, Timeless

If your teenager is asking for UGG boots, she does not want the “style” of boots, she is asking for this specific brand of boot. Uggs have been popular for several years now but have recently became a fall fashion staple with the introduction of the mini boot and the slip-on micro boot. Whether you’re slipping them on for a coffee run or styling them with a puffer jacket and leggings, UGG boots deliver effortless warmth that never goes out of style.

These fur lined boots provide all the comfort you need to make that long stride from your car to go to the drive-through or can be dressed up for fall festivities. Be warned, they are not water-resistant!

Clog Boots: The Underdog of Fall 2026

Move over, sleek ankle and chunky boots, clog boots are quickly staking their claim as one of Fall’s top footwear trends. Drawing from the resurgence of chunky clogs, boho heritage, and Australian inspiration, these hybrid boot-slipper styles have evolved into essential statement pieces. The revival of clogs in recent seasons has leaned hard into chunky wooden soles and platform bases. Leather, suede, shearling, and even hair-on-hide are being layered into clog-boot designs to balance edge with warmth, adding architectural interest to otherwise simple outfits.


Styling Clogs

  • With wide-leg or straight jeans. Let the flared hem just graze the top of your clog boots.
  • Under midi skirts or day dresses. It gives a grounded, cool-girl finish to a flowing silhouette.
  • Jacket balance. Pair with a cropped leather or moto jacket to keep proportions lively.
  • Sock play. Play around with visible ribbed socks peeping above the boot edge for unexpected detail.
  • Neutral grounding. Earth tones, caramel leathers, warm browns, and cream accents keep the look fall-appropriate.

Knee-high boots: The Trend That Doesn’t Slip Away.. Into a Moment of Time….Because…

Rich leathers, tall, clackety heels, and subtle hardware details that make these boots feel fun and flirty. Second to none in versatility, tall boots are the ultimate wardrobe investment for anyone looking to elevate their cool-weather style and pretend they’re equestrians at their rich private school where they are the protagonist and there is this group of bullies but my horse is faster and better and …. anyway.., you get the point, they’re main character shoes.

Styling Tips:

Accent details: Use the boot as a focal point. If your boots have a distinctive buckle or contrast panel, you can keep the rest of your outfit more neutral so the boots stand out.

Under midi skirts and dresses: Let the boot peek beneath hemlines to anchor soft or flowing fabrics.

With slim trousers or tailored pants: Tuck in or layer over gently — the sleek shaft can give structure to an outfit, giving you that sleek, Scandinavian fit that is all over your Pinterest.

Layered with oversized or textured pieces: Because the boot is long and streamlined, you can balance it with bulkier knitted dresses, cardigans, or jackets without overwhelming the fit.

Contrast with proportions: Pair wide-cut or voluminous pieces on top with tall boots to maintain balance.

Boots for Wide Calves: Yes Girl, Me too

Boots for wide calves are finally gaining more traction. Designers are finally moving beyond basic stretch panels, creating styles that celebrate inclusivity without sacrificing aesthetics.

My personal go-to are Tommy Hilfiger boots, which are a little on the pricier side, but they actually fit my wide calves without making my calves look like sausage casings. Enjoy this curated list of boots for us girlies built like Olympians.

Boot Accessories

Boots aren’t just about the leather, heel, or silhouette, they’re about the extras. Boot accessories like charms, chains, and clip-on embellishments are an easy way to personalize your fit. From metallic chains draped around the ankle to charms that clip onto zippers or pull tabs, these add-ons can bring a playful twist to your style.

Whether you’re dressing up simple Chelsea boots or adding edge to sleek knee-highs, boot charms and accessories let you express individuality without buying a new pair each season (Let’s save some money ladies). Put sustainable styling on your radar while adding creativity that feels right on trend.
