Against All Logic, This Is the Stylish Boot Trend Fashion People Are Still Wearing in the Heat

Summer 2025 is off to a hot start—both in temperature and style. Even with the sweltering 80- to 90-degree heat, fashion insiders are stepping beyond the usual seasonal staples like sandals and ballet flats, opting for a bold, unexpected choice: cowboy boots.

Leading the charge are Camila Morrone and Kendall Jenner. This week, Morrone strolled through the West Village in a breezy white maxi sundress, a suede shoulder bag, and leather cowboy boots. Across the country in Woodland Hills, Jenner styled her western boots with a white tank top and vintage jeans.

Particularly noteworthy is that Morrone and Jenner went with knee-high styles. Unlike ankle boots or over-the-knee versions, the knee-high silhouette feels intentional and fresh, mirroring the rise of similar boot styles like the riding boots recently worn by Kaia Gerber. Plus, their outfits highlight the boot’s surprising versatility: they’re not just for festivals or fall, but can be seamlessly worked into summer wardrobes.
