Boot season is upon us, but I’d be lying if I said I’m all that invested in this year’s trends. I can’t help but look ahead to the top 2022 boot trends for inspo instead! Call me over-eager, but nothing beats wearing the hottest looks before everyone else and giving myself time to see how they fit in with my personal style.
Luckily, 2022 offers a wide variety of trending boot silhouettes to choose from. The first is one for my girls who love a heeled moment but haven’t worn actual heels since pre-pandemic: Skinny-heeled boots are very much in, but it’s up to you whether you choose to go with sky-high stilettos or sweet, skinny kitten heels.
Next up is a slightly more relaxed look dubbed The Slouch. Slouchy boots were cool way back when, but they’re definitely getting the revival they deserve this season. My advice? Stay away from suede to avoid looking dated and opt instead for shiny patents or printed leather for a fresh feel.
Next up is a personal favorite for running around, the combat boot. Remember when we all had that same pair back in high school? Now, they’re definitely a bit chunkier and cooler, perfect for pairing with ultra-femme looks for a satisfying contrast.
Last but not least, this one’s a little obvious: Knee-high boots are officially replacing your over-the-knee favorites. Sorry in advance if you ~invested~ in that one Stuart Weitzman pair! You can totally still wear them, but consider adding at least one knee-high pair in a fun shade into your wardrobe, stat.
Below, read on for a bit more info on each trend, plus a few of our faves to start shopping now.

The Skinny
Stiletto heels are in, so say goodbye to your crusty block heels. I know it’s hard to move on, but we must! That said, if you aren’t into sky-high skinny heels, a kitten stiletto looks equally chic for everyday wear.

Maryana Stud Boot
A plain black skinny-heeled boot? Cute. A pair with studs for added edge? Sign me up, Schutz!

Discreet Bootie in Pink
Bestie, listen up: You deserve these. Don’t limit yourself to black boots this season! This perforated pink pair is here to help you make a statement.
The Slouch
I didn’t think this trend could make a triumphant return, but I stand corrected—and excited to give it a go! Slouchy boots are back, baby, and don’t think you have to dress them down for a laid-back look.

Aromonda Boot
Behold, the perfect boot. This baby encompasses three of the season’s top trends: the knee-high height, the skinny heel and the slouchy shaft.

Ashlee Boot in Bright Violet
If you prefer color, prepare to fall in love with these metallic violet snakeskin beauties! They also come in black and gold—good luck choosing between all three.
The Combat
Lug soles gave last year’s boots an edgy feel, but for 2022, we’re returning to the classic combat. With a fresh take, of course! This time around, pair yours with femme ‘fits for contrast instead of tucking them into skinny jeans like you did back in high school. Cringe.

Leona Heeled Boot
If you want to invest in combat boots that will last a lifetime, look no further than Dr. Martens. I love the Leonas for a slightly dressier take thanks to the slight heel and brass eyelets.

Lolita Boot, $45 off
These Circus by Sam Edelman combat boots use a slightly flared heel shape and a shiny patent leather finish to give a rugged staple a little more class. Plus, they’re on sale!
The Knee-High
Remember over-the-knee boots? LOL, me either. Knee-highs are everything at the moment, so don’t be afraid to throw some lotion on those kneecaps before revealing them to the world! Since the silhouette of a classic knee-high boot is fairly understated, feel free to go bold with color, texture or any other statement-making details.

Handles Boot
A knee-high boot with a wooden block heel strikes the perfect balance between effort and casual flair. Plus, this caramel shade goes with everything.

Dollie Boot
Knee-high boots can mean riding boots, sure, but these chunky lug sole boots make much more of a statement. Plus, they come in not only black, but white, taupe and baby pink.
