By Texture & Color

2. Texture Play with Leather

Another fan favorite for fall dresses with boots is quite obvious. For those who love playing with textures, leather boots are an absolute game-changer. Mixing the rich texture of leather with different fabrics—knit or velvet—is a simple way to make a statement. However, I personally love pairing a sleek leather boot with Altuzarra’s Denning midi for an elegant vibe or Ulla Johnson’s Celia midi for a more bohemian feel. Just be sure to choose a leather boot that stands out—like these Paris Texas stilettos.

3. Color Blocking

Fall dresses with boosts aren’t just about neutrals; they offer the perfect opportunity to play with color. Color-blocked outfits add a modern twist to classic fall fashion, instantly updating your wardrobe. I’m all about pairing vibrant boots with simple silhouettes, like a red velvet Ralph Lauren dress for an unexpected pop of color. While you would normally pair this with a pair of black boots, reach for Balenciaga’s gold Cagoles instead—color-blocking is the way to go.
