Weddings • LCD vs Plasma • Resort Wear • Eco-Products for Your Home • Home Media Rooms • Lawn & GardenKick-start your fall wardrobe with the season's hottest new trends in boots. Colour, texture, and industrial detailing should be top of mind while you shop for head-turning new looks, and don't be conservative because with these bold styles, “too much is still not enough”.
Hold on to your high heels as we explore the strongest design influences behind fall's must-have boots.

Brown? Black? Blah! Have fun with the season's hottest brights and prints. Prints no longer need to be worn with a solid tight or a neutral palette – give them a life of their own and find ways to incorporate additional patterns into your ensemble.

Not brave enough to play with colour and in-your-face prints? Make your statement with interesting textures including weathered and cracked leather, or exotic reptile skin.

The more embellished the boot, the sexier you are going to feel. Gotta go big with multiple buckles (yes – all the way up your leg if you can find them) to play with the real fashionistas this season!

Hidden wedges and platform soles give added lift in wet and snowy conditions, while popular conical heel designs provide a pretty silhouette and extra stability.

Thought it couldn't last one season? Think again! The bootie dominated the runways during the fall fashion preview this year and is set to please throughout the winter. For a stylish new twist look for a Mary Jane strap.

Pretty woman made them popular in the 90's, and they are hot with celebrity royalty again. You're probably already following the over-the-knee trend on celebs like Rihanna and Kate Hudson, and now you can own a pair designed by Jessica Simpson!

Don't get caught in a slushy mess on the way to work. Rubber boots are hot to trot – especially in bold prints and cheerful saturated colours. Don't be shy to wear over jeans or with skirts and wooly tights.

They may not officially qualify as a boot but they do cover the ankle, and cheeky hi-tops are fun for guys and girls this season. Rock pops of colour and bold graffiti patterns to get the most out of this look.
