Forget the Square Toe: Cool British Girls Are Opting for This Classic Boot Style With Jeans Instead

Daisy Edgar-Jones is the quintessential cool British girl. Her perfect bangs always just fall so well on her face, and her outfits have a similar effortlessness to them. She slinks around in them on the streets of London, looking like she just threw them on. But in reality, Edgar-Jones just has that kind of intention and taste that can't be taught. She knows what works for her and she sticks to it.

The actress also has a way of making us want the simplest of items. Just look at her most recent outfit: a pair of oval sunglasses, a trench coat belted just above the waist, deep blue straight-leg jeans, and a pair of black pointed ankle boots.

The coat-and-boot combo is quietly becoming a go-to for cool women in London everywhere it seems, as we noted it as the most standout trend from this season's street style. Square-toe boots have been dominating, so it feels surprising to see pointed tips back on the rise. It makes sense, though, considering heels are also making a major comeback in 2026. Plus, if Edgar-Jones says it's cool, then it's cool. No other evidence needed.
