Chic New Yorkers Don’t Wear Black Boots With Everything—Lately, They Wear This Timeless Chic-For-Spring Color Instead

It’s been what feels like a Brat eternity with the black-boots-and-slime-green uniform. And while Charli XCX concert go-ers were right to opt for black boots at her tour last summer, the shoe is not just a cornerstone of the pop star’s signature look but also a timeless wardrobe staple. Recently though, cool New Yorkers have been slowly swapping them out in favor of pairs in a light brown shade instead.

While out this week, before walking the Miu Miu show in Paris, the famously coolest New Yorker, Chloë Sevigny, showed exactly why.

Sevigny wore a long navy coat with a black top-handle bag and a pair of tight fitting heeled boots in a light brown shade. Previously such a color combination would be considered a ‘fashion don’t’ but no one prescribes to those rules anymore. Especially when brown and navy do look so good together.
