Hot Off the Press From New York: Everyone With Great Style Is Bringing Back This Previously Outdated Boot Trend
Slouchy boots haven't been in vogue since what feels like 2016. Currently, the trending footwear consists of simple black tall boots featuring chunky soles. Their rise in popularity is easy to comprehend, as they add a tough edge to nearly any outfit almost instantly. These boots represent one of the classic edgy styles that have maintained their allure. With Charli XCX's Brat fall appearing limitless, tall, rigid black boots with just the right heel height and pointed toes or platform soles have become essential for the cool-girl wardrobe. However, their grip on the fashion set seems to be loosening.
That said, tall black boots remain timeless and popular! But slouchy boots are experiencing a resurgence, coinciding perfectly with TikTok's nostalgia for the twee hipster era when they were most fashionable. Slouchy boots were fundamental to the boho-chic aesthetic, which Chemena Kamali of Chloé is reviving in her recent runway collections. Boots that have the ideal amount of slouch, resembling a rolled-up sleeve that elegantly circles around your elbow, are perfect for pairing with a more flowy, billowy wardrobe. Thus, having a pair is essential for this moment in fashion. While they may not carry the same edgy vibe as traditional tall black platform boots, there's an undeniably cool quality in how they move and can drape around your leg, depending on the pants or skirt you pair them with.
A few months ago, at the Charli XCX concert in Brooklyn, I noticed a multitude of girls wearing similar boots. Now, there's been a distinct shift, with brown suede scrunchy boots becoming increasingly prevalent in the city. Personally, I'll be sporting both types of boots this winter, and it’s refreshing to have such contrasting options.
