Best ankle boots for women that will complete your autumn outfits (2024)

Whistles

With the sun seemingly retired from our skies until March 2023, buying a solid pair of boots to see you through to spring is a sound investment your future self will thank you for. Whistles manages to nail the chunky look with a little polish thanks to a khaki-coloured leather upper backed onto an all-conquering black sole. It’s a subtle contrast that will add sophisticated depth to the rest of your wardrobe.

Grenson

If you’re partial to the gorpy hiking aesthetic, then Grenson’s Nanette silhouette will be the one for you.

The perfect combination of heritage and innovation, Grenson has over 150 years experience but is constantly pushing for perfection with contemporary design, lightweight lug soles, and top quality materials - and these are a case in point. Crafted in a smooth black Colorado leather with a tonal black suede panel, they’re a super chic monochrome pair that will come in handy year after year.

Bottega Veneta

Fast making a case for Boot of the Year, these chunky Chelsea boots are an instant hit with lookalike versions flooding the high street. Bottega’s are the original and the best with contrast soles to inject a little colour into dark winter outfits.

H&M

Give your OOTD a dopamine-surging hit of colour. H&M shows us how with these chunky boots in a stop-traffic neon green. Not only will they brighten dreary days, but the rubber means you won’t end up with soaking wet feet when it rains either. A win-win. Available in sizes 2 - 9.

Russell & Bromley

A chic little alpine moment that would look good from the Alps to London, Russell & Bromley’s Wonderland boots are a versatile winter purchase.

With a faux fur cuff and lining, bone nappa leather upper and chunky cleated sole, they’re a winter stomper that will become your favourite cold weather companion.

Dear Frances

A favourite of Kendall Jenner, Zoe Kravitz, and Hailey Bieber, Dear Frances is a footwear brand that should be firmly on your radar - especially when it comes to ankle boots. From the sleek, sculptural silhouette to the supple Italian croc-emobossed leather, these are finished impeccably, fit like a glove, and will take every outfit to the next level.

CHLOÉ

If you tend to lean towards simple, tonal outfits, your accessories are where you can up your style game. Take your cues from Chloe’s ‘Susanna’ style, beloved by the likes of Kate Bosworth, Miranda Kerr and Heidi Klum. It’s no wonder the A-list are wild for this boot: with a comfortable heel and plenty of gold hardwear, they’re the sort of shoes you’ll want to live in.

AllSaints

Take summer’s Western trend into AW22 through your footwear. AllSaints’ Vally design has key elements of a classic Cowboy boot with the low-key versatility to be dressed up or down. The square toe and low block heel work well with rolled up jeans as well as dresses, and two pull tabs allow you to pull on and off with ease.

Available in sizes 3 - 8. A cream version with contrast black details is also available.

Zara

Platform heels are an excellent way of getting in a few extra inches while sparing your feet from blisters and bunions. Zara’s pair come in a shiny brown the colour of conkers with a rounded toe and side zip fastening. Comes in black, sizes 2 - 9 available.

Vagabond

Known for a minimal, masculine aesthetic, Scandi brand Vagabond is a go-to for chunky ankle boots. With a block heel, elastic side panels, and pull tabs, this platform chelsea design is a strong addition to any shoe rack.

Public Desire

The disco boots of your dreams (if you habitually dream of the dancefloor), these rhinestone-studded ankle boots come alive at night, which comes earlier now that the days are drawing in. Pull them on or use the side-zip to navigate your tootsies in. Available in sizes 3 - 8.
