Fall fashion is all about texture — velvety shoes, ruffled dresses, suede handbags and studded accessories. It’s fun to combine contrasting textures — for example romantic pleated blouses with edgy leather boots. Today, let’s look at some shoes and boots from Neiman Marcus in interesting textures for fall.

Colorblock dresses have been very trendy for the last year or so. We see a lot of colorblocking in fashion but it’s not often that we see it in boots. Here Fendi does it well with these tricolor leather boots. These knee-high boots are sure to be a hit for fall.

Dior Black Suede Fringe Boots

Are you already thinking about fall fashions? We all know when it comes to fall footwear, it’s all about the boots. This autumn, look for knee-high boots with lots of interesting details such as metal studs, big buckles, fringe trim and contrast stitching. Instead of flat boots, heeled boots from stilettos to wedges will be popular.
I really liked the fringe trend last fall/winter (in small doses), so I’m glad it will be back again for fall. If you want to splurge on a pair of fringed boots, check out this pair from Christian Dior.

Sigerson Morrison Hurache Boot

In this week’s edition of “Ugly Shoes of the Week,” we have the Sigerson Morrison Huarache boot. Can you even call these things boots? Or are they just a bunch of straps that go all the way up to your knee?
These black leather boots feature an open toe and allover straps. I don’t know who thought it was a good idea to start making boots with open toes and cut-out details to make them wearable in warm weather. To me, boots should be boots. Save them for fall and winter. And when spring rolls around, break out the sandals.

Naughty Monkey Tan Canvas Boots

Filed under Boots
Normally I associate Naughty Monkey with colorful print pumps, but they make some great looking boots too. These tan boots feature a slouchy silhouette that is very trendy.
Accented with D-ring buckles, these canvas boots offer a round toe and a stacked semi-wedge heel. The tan color is a great change of pace to always wearing black boots.
These pull-on boots have a partial side zip. You can get these Naughty Monkey boots right now at Nordstrom for just under $100.
