It’s that delightful time of year again when the temperatures drop, layers come out to play, and we can focus on cozying up at home or gathering around a bonfire instead of hitting the town. But the best part about fall and winter? It’s boot season! Dust off those tall boots, ankle boots, and the stylish rubber ones because we have something special to cheer about this year: combat boots are making a comeback!
You can channel your inner warrior or revisit your high school self with these bold kicks that are sure to elevate your footwear game while evoking those nostalgic vibes. Honestly, I’m kicking myself for parting with my beloved Dr. Martens from college. I thought I wouldn’t need them, but how I wish I could rock them now with my favorite boyfriend jeans. Just like a fine wine, combat boots only get better with age.
These stylish boots were all over the runways at New York Fashion Week, proving they’re not just meant for pairing with ripped jeans and vintage tees (though that look is still a classic!). They effortlessly add an edgy twist to flowy dresses and skirts, allowing for a stunning fashion moment with minimal effort. And can we discuss how comfy they are with leggings and a cozy sweater? This combo gives off an impression of having it all together.
You can tuck your pants into these boots, layer them over jeans, or pair them with your favorite cut-off denim. They’re versatile and look fantastic on anyone, regardless of age. Just last weekend, I spent an afternoon trying on various styles with my 12-year-old daughter, and a wonderful woman in her 60s joined us to try on a pair for herself.
There’s a much wider selection of combat boots today than what we had in the ‘80s and ‘90s. You can find them in various heights and styles, from heeled to buckled variations. Of course, the classic look that brings back memories of our teenage years is still a favorite. I can almost smell the teen spirit!
For a tough yet stylish look, check out this pair from Macy’s available in black and brown for under $80. The Dr. Martens Persephone Boot from Journeys has a silhouette that’s both funky and feminine, perfect for almost any outfit. If you’re feeling adventurous, there’s an over-the-knee option for under $50 that might push you outside your comfort zone. And for those who want to stand out, a $60 velvet floral pair is sure to turn heads—my daughter chose those!
And of course, you can’t forget about the classic Dr. Martens combat boot, which reminds us of simpler times spent binge-watching shows after school. For $135, you can almost time travel back to those days. A great pair is also available at Famous Footwear for $89.99. The dream of the ‘90s is alive and well!
So, if you’re a footwear enthusiast like me or just want to relive those glorious days, now is the perfect moment to grab a pair. Just remember to hold onto them this time, because you know they’ll make a return to the fashion scene again.
