One of these days these (statement) boots are gonna walk all over you.
While we’re still swaddled in sweaters, duvet coats and boxy leather jackets, our outfits can sometimes feel more mundane than magical. But one simple swap can make all the difference, and it comes in the form of a statement ankle boot.
Elevating everything from a simple suit to a micro mini, the attention-grabbing accessory is yet again climbing the ranks to become a must-have style staple, and it’s one of the easiest to wear.
For those with more daring taste, the statement boot will be nothing new, regularly featuring in your wardrobe of winter dresses and colour-clashing co-ords. Yet, for those who have more simplistic styles, it may be a trend you’re yet to get on board with, and we’re here to help.

Although they’re there to make a statement, you don’t have to go in wearing every bell and whistle all at once – unless you want to, of course. An attention-grabbing colour is enough to jump on the audacious accessory trend even if you keep the rest of your look plain and simple. Or you can keep to all-black with just the fun of fringing with the Mango cowboy boots.
If you’re not quite sure where to look, the shoe market is awash with standout styles, from Chloé’s bestselling Betty boots to the fashion-forward Paris Texas pairs. And even high street giants such as H&M and Mango are getting in on the action, so we’ve done the groundwork for you and found nine pairs that Nancy Sinatra would be proud go walking in.
