Put Down the Platform Sandals—Boots Are In

Put down the platform sandals. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: Your sturdy stompers shouldn’t be confined to the winter reserves—boots are now a bona fide summertime staple. 

The outfit formula is simple: Pair with dresses, skirts or shorts, and make sure at least a little leg is showing (save the tall boot/midi dress combo for fall). Choose wisely: Skip anything furry, and if you’re going suede, opt for slouch over structure—and no over-the-knee. When in doubt, light-toned leather is your easiest summer styling move, and on rainy days, haul out the gumboots for peak practicality. Shop similar at leathernheels.com
