After an entire summer of wearing strappy heels and wedges, the season of practical footwear is thankfully around the corner. For anyone wondering how to stay stylish as we transition from summer to fall, there’s nothing quite like a pair of ankle booties to keep you looking chic.  We’ve curated a few runway looks that might just might inspire you to try this returning footwear trend yourself this season.

Givenchy

At Givenchy, bright white booties were the order of the day. We are liking this particular take on the trend, which features retro style cuffed ankle boots with pointed toes and stiletto heels. If you want a funky, fashion-forward alternative to the typical dark neutral footwear of fall, look no further than this designer runway.

Altuzarra

Meanwhile, Altuzarra decided to get creative with boots, by using strategic cut-outs to create a statement look.  These short boots featured pointed, textured toes, short block heels and a dark brown suede exterior. We are liking the attention to detail and the mixed textures on display, which prove that the classic, humble boot needn’t be boring or typical.

Chloé

At Chloé, metallics and blues created an eye-catching look which proved that bright and bold footwear can bring you right into the fall months. These ornate blue velvet high-heeled booties combine shimmering detail and rich colour for a regal, luxurious feel.
