1) The Basic – This is a simple low heeled ankle boot that plays well with both skinny jeans and flare leg pants. Shades of brown are a great option for this style but this style by B.P. has a variety of colors to choose from. Sam Edelman’s classic and simple lines are a great option for those who want a lower heel
2) Open Toe/Heel – This is a simple way to dress up your jeans-and-tee look for fall time. These booties are a play off of classic heels but with a seasonal twist. Not the best for here in the Pacific Northwest (hello wet toes, not my favorite) but are great for adding a fall touch to an outfit while the temperatures are still warm.
3) Statement – They say boots were made for walking and these will start the party when you walk in. Consider these your ‘excess’ pair of boots. Not necessary but ya know, totally necessary at the same time. These should be a pair of boots that make you stand straighter, feel more confident, and brighten an otherwise gloomy day. Maybe think of them as your Monday shoes. I love this fringe pair by Steve Madden and when in doubt leopard out like these Sam Edelman booties.
4) Equestrian – The classic fall look always includes some sort of equestrian style riding boots. I say splurge on a great pair as you will wear them every year without a doubt. Frye is the place to go for classic quality riding boots that form to your feet with wear and will last you a lifetime.
5) Over the Knee – The Pretty Woman look is back with a vengeance for fall and I love it! Over the knee boots add clean lines and a sleek silhouette to legs, especially on high heeled pairs. Not ready to rock your inner Vivian Ward? Test the waters with a low heel pair of over the knee boots. I’m lusting over Stuart Weitzman’s Lowland and Highland duo, however if the price point is a bitter pill to swallow, check out these options by Sam Edelman and Michael Kors
6) Weather Ready – When Mother Nature fails us, it’s great to have some weather appropriate footwear handy. Hunters, wellies, galoshes, or rain boots, no matter what you call them, these boots are getting a colorful makeover and are no longer simply black. Hello new world of color! Once winter arrives, these are easily swapped out for some sensible snow boots.
What are your must have boots for fall? 
I love this! I’m actually heading to Seattle for college next month so boots are a must. Truthfully, I’ve never been much of a boots girl except for Uggs and Sperry Topsider rainboots, but I’m dying to get a few pairs of open toed/heel boots and equestrian boots! Thanks for sharing, Ana 🙂
I’m loving the leopard print ones!!

Thanks for reading Tianna!
I have two pairs of riding boot-style tall boots. I think I am going to try booties this year- I’d love to get a gray pair.
I love ankle boots the most I think! They are a little less clunky than riding boots but still get the job done. Thanks for reading Valerie
The equestrians are my favorite! I don’t own a pair (yet) but I love their classic look!
They are a great pair of boots to have! Thanks for reading Emilie!
I am obsessed with equestrian boots, they look stylish but since they dont have a heel they are also super comfy!
Totally! They instantly ‘preppify’ and outfit as well. Thanks for reading Lauren!
I love the short booties. I wanted a pair last season. I just might get me a pair this year though.
Check out some of the Labor Day Sales going on and you might be able to snatch a pair on sale! Thanks for reading!
I love all of these! I live in the mountains, so duck boots are practical lol, but when I go into town, I love having a chance to wear something a little cuter haha.
It is nice to be able to dress impractically every now and again! Thanks for reading!
I am so excited for fall boots! I just bought my first pair of ankle boots and I can’t wait to wear them!
Happy to hear it Christina! Share a pic on social media if you want!
I can’t wait to pull out my boots! My favorite boots are riding boots. http://www.littlemissfangirly.blogspot.com
I have also been lusting after a pair of Stuart Weitzman boots as well! They are just SO gorgeous, but the price sends me into sticker shock. Loved this post! Thank you so much for sharing beauty!

Thanks Julianna! Glad you liked it!
I desperately need to replace my old boots – thanks for all the great inspiration!
I’m glad you found it helpful Anita!
Oh my goodness I love those boots! So ready for boot weather!
My closet needs some statement and more basic boots for sure. I often forget how many styles of boots are out there.
