Cowboy boots
We simply can't get enough of cowboy boots. They are a purchase for the ages, after all, cowboy boots have been on trend for a long time, they go out of fashion every now and then, but are bound to come back at some point. This year, they will certainly continue to be a must-have, as cowboycore was a big thing in the summer.
In fall and winter 2024/25, however, fashion professionals are increasingly focusing on pared-down styles. You'll be looking in vain for colorful or dazzling cowboy boots. The trendy pieces come in a suede look, as an ankle boot version or with rocking biker appliqués. The cowgirl hype is entering the next round - and is doing very well.

Suede boots
In terms of materials, suede is currently experiencing a real hype. Whether in the form of bags, blazers or boots, it doesn't matter. Suede looks particularly good on the feet. The chic fabric always makes a glamorous appearance.
Does the suede hype have anything to do with the celebrated cowgirl trend? Quite possibly.

Overknees
Overknees were once in - and are in again: boots that reach above the knee are winning back the hearts of fashionistas this fall and winter. After all, overknees and fashion are one thing - sometimes they're in, sometimes they're out.
This season, it's important to have at least one model in your shoe cabinet if you don't already have one. Designers have led the way and made their mannequins' legs look even longer with long boots at Fashion Weeks.
In terms of cut, they currently reach up to the middle of the thigh. The shaft is preferably worn wide and slouchy, but then you can also see extremely tight-fitting overknees. At Chloé, for example, the trend is towards ruffled boho dresses and capes. At Gucci, on the other hand, the boots are combined with shorts. So there are no limits to the styling.
