Now that fall and winter are here, it’s time to dip into your boot rotation when you’re on your way to a date night or dinner with your friends. Living in New York City, I find my boots to be one of the most important elements when going out and braving the elements while wanting to look on-trend. They have to be comfortable, cute, and practical as I’m walking thousands of steps a day and—in Lady Gaga’s voice—heading from the bus to the club to another club to another club and to the next place.
I usually just grab my simple black ankle boots out of the closet when I’m heading off for a girls’ night with my friends, but this season, I’m looking toward my favorite fashion insiders to see all of the boots they’re wearing with their going-out outfits instead. Ever wonder what boots to wear for a night out? Don’t worry—I’ve got you covered.
Below, browse some of the best going-out boot styles as well as outfit inspiration to get your style ready before heading out the door.
