More often than not, the trends spotted on the New York Fashion Week runways are tied to a particular color, pattern, textile or silhouette. For the Fall 2018 collections, the style focus was on a specific kind of footwear: white boots. The very elements that make this choice seem risky or even unrealistic are the same ones that make it work! The fresh white color serves as a chic addition to any ensemble, regardless of your style. Here's a look at some of the many designers who put their best foot forward in this trend.
At Derek Lam, white boots are headed to the boardroom in a look that shows they can be classic when paired with pinstripes.
Dion Lee's monochromatic look uses texture variations and a new silhouette to switch up your Winter whites.

The best thing about this trend is that you can start wearing it now. While the NYFW runways proved that white boots work for Fall, they do seem like a more obvious choice for Winter & Spring. Try incorporating these chic boots into your wardrobe now and you will be a step ahead of the (shoe) game.
