When the weather gets cooler, suede boots always make an appearance, but this season they're hotter than ever. Tall boots, ankle boots and booties can all be found with suede uppers, and there is plenty to choose from in both casual and dressy styles. Here are a few of the most "must-have" suede boots of the season.
These suede boots from Chinese Laundry are easy to wear in more ways than one. First, of course, there is the slight .75" heel, and secondly their simply styles allows them to go casual or dressy. Available in gray or black, these knee high boots have chic ankle straps and split-top backs.
I wanted to include a totally casual, rugged suede boot on this list, because as much as I love a pretty heel, I sometimes want something with a bit of edge. These boots deliver edge, and then some. With slightly luggish soles and three biker-inspired buckled straps, these Born boots are about mid-calf, and come in a fabulous shade of gray.
The 'height' of fashion, these suede boots feature mid-height heels and a stitched, wrap-around pattern that makes them stand out from the crowd. They'll stand out even more if you choose the purple shade, but the black is far more versatile.
With mid-calf uppers, and mid-height 3.25" heels, these boots might sound "middle of the road" at first, but they're really anything but. The wedge heels alone set these boots apart from the crowd, but what really makes them stand out is the dual belts and the slightly slouchy uppers.
Over the knee boots are hot this season. Always a particular favorite of mine, styles like these flat, suede boots from Chinese Laundry are so versatile. I pair them with skirts and dresses, with tights or without, and of course, they're just waiting for skinny jeans to be tucked into them. Available in black or gray suede, the shaft on these boots is 21" tall, so you may want to measure your legs to see how high they'll be on you.
One of the most controversial trends of the season is open-toed boots and booties. If you fall on the side that's in favor of baring your toes in Fall, then you'll definitely want to check out these suede boots from Charles David. With an above-the-ankle 9" shaft, and multiple crossing straps at the ankles, these boots feature 3.75" heels and look great in black, camel, brown and gray.
