No, It’s Not Too Late to Wear Your Horse Girl Boots
Step up your footwear game with equestrian-style boots that bring a bucolic vibe to the cold city streets.
As the cold weather moves in, the clocks shift forward and we find ourselves face-to-face with earlier sunsets, the time has come to dust off our heavy-duty boots for yet another season. But instead of pulling out your worn-out winter footwear, let me propose a more fashionable alternative. Step into this new season with just as much style as warmth. I present to you this season’s hottest footwear trend to keep you warm all winter: the equestrian-inspired riding boot.
Trends in fashion footwear seem to jump from one to another, but this structured silhouette is timeless enough to last you through the seasons. This boot has been around the block once or twice, most recently making an appearance at Burberry, Polo Ralph Lauren and Dôen’s Fall 2025 runways. And it’s no wonder why: the shoe’s versatility lends itself to endless styling options. Pair your riding boots with movement-prone layers like high slit skirts, trench coats and lightweight dresses for a fresh contrast to the typically utilitarian silhouette.
