Whilst we might still be a few weeks away from the official start of autumn, actor Sydney Sweeney is embracing the season’s trends early this year. Wearing summer’s chicest shorts with the boots trend that I predict will be everywhere next month, Sweeney crafted an easy ensemble that’s inspired my transeasonal wardrobe to no end.
Wearing her white shirt neatly tucked into some matching white denim shorts, the Sweeney crafted a laid-back outfit with a polished edge. Nodding to a growing autumn trend, she bypassed sandals and ballet flats, instead opting for knee-grazing brown leather boots to complete her casual look.
Whilst Sweeney might have jumped on the trend ahead of the rest of us (I am no where near ready to say goodbye to my open toes), I highly doubt it’ll be long until we all own a pair. Appearing across countless autumn/winter 2024 runway shows in February, including Chloé’s fan-favourite collection, the brown boots are set to become the season’s favourite buy.
With a rich and warm undertone, brown boots style well with a wide range of autumnal shades, including forest green, burnt orange and rosy pink. Arguably more of a choice than classic black, yet just as versatile, the trend is set to become a key player in fashion people’s wardrobes this autumn.
Before next season really takes a hold, style the trend with light summer shorts à la Sweeney or pair with a flowing white dress. Then, when temperatures dip, instil an autumnal feeling by pairing with tights or blue denim.
