THE LEVEL LIST: 7 BOOT TRENDS FOR FALL/WINTER’25

Slouch to snakeskin, discover the key styles shaping the season. 

The inevitable end of summer brings with it one universal truth: boot season waits for no one. From sleek second-skin styles to thigh-highs made for drama, from Western-inspired silhouettes to slouchy Y2K revivals, and from polished riding boots to everyday ankle staples, the lineup is as varied as it is covetable. Whether you’re braving the first chill or chasing a little main-character energy, these boots were made for far more than walking.

THE SECOND SKIN

Sleek, glove-fit silhouettes that hug the leg and whisper rather than shout. From soft stretch suedes to luxe leathers, ankle and knee-high options slide effortlessly under midi skirts and dresses for a polished, modern finish.

THE WESTERN AFFAIR

They rode back onto the runways with flair. From wing-tipped classics to higher-heeled modern takes, complete with lived-in patinas and the occasional fur lining.

THE ROUND TOE

It’s no wonder round-toe boots are having a moment: of all the transitional styles out there, they get the most leg time. Effortlessly wearable in rain or shine, easy to style, and surprisingly flattering, they’ve quietly become a seasonal staple. 

THE ANIMAL PRINT

Leopard, snakeskin, cowhide, and even hyena: they’re prowling back into the spotlight with untamed confidence. Once a daring statement of maximalist play, they return with a refined bite, fierce yet endlessly wearable.

THE SLOUCH BOOT

Slouch boots are staging a soft-power takeover, trading structure for sway and polish for poetic ease. Once the emblem of Noughties nonchalance, they return with a grown-up languor that feels less festival, more forever.

THE BROWN BOOT

Having a moment across the runways, these classics return as a full-spectrum trend, from coffee to chocolate, espresso to tan. In leather or suede, biker or sleek pointed knee-highs, they inject warm, sophisticated depth into winter wardrobes while effortlessly elevating every outfit beyond the usual equestrian clichés.

THE STATEMENT MAKERS

Whether drenched in patent shine, wrapped in mesh, or blazing in bold hues and embellishment, they turn every step into punctuation. Think power dressing from the ground up.
