Just In From New York, Everyone With Cool Style Is Wearing This Once-Dated Boot Trend Again

Slouchy boots haven’t been popular since what feels like 2016. Instead, the hot boot of the moment has been a simple black tall boot with a chunky sole. Their popularity isn’t hard to understand, a boot like that gives a tough edge to any look nearly instantly. It’s one of the quintessential edgy pieces that hasn’t really lost it’s touch. With Charli XCX‘s Brat fall seemingly never ending, the tall and stiff black boot with just enough of a heel and a pointed toe or platform bottom has become a necessary cool girl wardrobe staple. But it’s chokehold on fashion girls seems to be slipping.

That isn’t to say tall black boots aren’t popular. They’re timeless! But slouchy boots are having a bit of a moment again, just in time for all of TikTok to romanticize the twee hipster era where they were at their peak of popularity. Slouchy boots were a cornerstore of the boho chic look, which Chemena Kamali of Chloé is fully bringing back with her recent runway collections.
