Without wishing what's left of the summer away, it's already feeling (whisper it) like we're living for autumn. You probably haven't been leaving the house without a jacket - and might have even put your sandals on ice after wearing them, oh, maybe three times over the past month. Yes, summer hasn't exactly arrived here in the UK, but we can always rely on a glorious autumn to deliver the goods. And if there's one way that the celebs are getting ahead of the new season, it's with a pair of brown boots.
EmRata stepped out at the end of last month in a late-summer outfit that's equally appropriate for the start of autumn: a cropped white shirt, a silky slip skirt and knee-high brown boots with buckles from Dior. Ranging from tan to terracotta, conker to coffee, brown boots naturally look a little boho, a little retro, which means they go perfectly with things like wide-leg jeans and prairie dresses. They can also add personality to an otherwise bog-standard outfit of a white tee, a leather jacket and jeans. The sky's the limit, especially if you choose a platform pair. What are you waiting for?
