How to Style Every Kind of Boot This Summer

The fashion girls have decided: boots are officially a year-round staple. The all-encompassing shoe style has transcended the concept of seasonal dressing, instead wiggling its way into our summer wardrobes in a way that seamlessly complements a casual, dressed-down aesthetic while simultaneously elevating otherwise blah outfits. 

With their limitless versatility, boots have emerged as the unlikely hero detail to stylish summer dressing, offering a viable solution to nearly any having-nothing-to-wear-induced meltdown. With options ranging from combat boots and cowboy boots to over-the-knee boots (thank none other than Ariana Grande for this particular style’s unforeseen yet advantageous longevity) and '60s-style calf-high styles, boots add a certain practical yet spontaneous twist to any summer fit. 

Whether you’re wearing them with a pair of floor-grazing tailored trousers or a thigh-baring mini dress, L’OFFICIEL rounds up the best ways to incorporate boots into your wardrobe and up your summer style this year.
