1. UGG Joely: Fall Floral
The UGG Joely is a sleek, gorgeous wedge boot that offers the height you want without compromising on comfort. It's easy to see the Joely's appeal. Not only is it a fashion-forward boot with an elegant design, the Joely is a weather-battling powerhouse: The upper is constructed from waterproof leather to repel rain and snow, the insole features UGGpure wool insulation to keep your toes toasty, and the outsole is made of slip-resistant White Spider Rubber to help you stay upright in wet or icy conditions. With such a sweet silhouette, no one will ever guess that your boots are so tough! But of course, the heel is emblazoned with the UGG logo, so there's no question that the Joely is made to the highest standards of quality.
The color may be fading from nature's greenery, but that doesn't mean it has to disappear from your wardrobe! In the look we created for the UGG Joely in Chestnut, we chose a floral theme, incorporating dark pink and gold. An a-line midi dress with a belted waist forms the basis of this outfit, and a cardigan in berry pink makes this summery dress fall-friendly. Delicate gold accessories add feminine sophistication, with the leaf earrings giving a subtle nod to the season. Finish it off with a swipe of lipstick that has purplish undertones, and you have an ensemble that can breathe new life into fall's drearier days. If it's a bit cold outside, add leggings and swap out the cardigan for a denim jacket.
2. Sorel Slimpack II Lace: Effortless Sorel Style
Rugged yet beautiful: There's no better way to describe Sorel boots for women, and the Sorel Slimpack II Lace is no exception. Like the Joely, the Slimpack II Lace is built to take on inclement weather. The sloshiest puddle is no match for the Slimpack II Lace's waterproof, seam-sealed full-grain leather upper and vulcanized rubber outsole. The sole's herringbone tread provides traction when you need it most. Inside, 100g insulation and a soft microfleece lining keep your feet warm and cozy when the temperatures begin to fall. Lace-up closure helps to ensure a perfect fit while adding to the Slimpack II Lace's outdoorsy vibe.
For the Sorel Slimpack II Lace in Redwood and British Tan, we chose a fall look that everyday fashionistas adore: leggings with a tunic top! This comfy outfit in burgundy is perfect for casual days, and you'll be as pretty as the changing leaves. Here, we've kept things simple. A textured, embellished tunic pairs with black leggings and the Slimpack II Lace to create a look that's autumn to the core. Accessorize with a wide-brim felt hat, bracelet, and fun seasonal earrings. We've added a leather bag in camel brown to prevent the ensemble from becoming too matchy-matchy. This look is easy to imitate, no matter which Slimpack II Lace color you choose!
3. Naot Levanto: Pretty in Pink
The Levanto is Naot's take on the popular chukka design, and their version doesn't disappoint. The distressed look of the Vintage Gray leather helps to cement the Naot Levanto as an instant classic. A pull tab on the back and lace-up closure make the Levanto easy to put on and remove—not that you'll ever want to take it off after you experience luxurious Naot comfort. Like all Naot shoes, the Levanto features a removable cork footbed. Cork molds to the shape of your foot over time, providing customized support and a feeling that has been compared to walking barefoot in the sand. However, if you require a custom orthotic, the Levanto can accommodate your needs. Padding on the tongue and in the moisture-wicking technical lining give the Levanto cloudlike cushioning, while the lightweight yet durable sole protects and supports your feet all day long.
We decided to take off the slight masculine edge of the chukka by creating a girly outfit for the Levanto. Pale pink and cream soften up this simple, casual look. Cozy knit socks peek out from the collar of the Levanto, while the cuffs of the skinny jeans are tucked down inside. Layer up with a cami and henley for a look that's all fall. Top it off with an infinity scarf and a felt fedora in mink, add some rose gold accessories, and you're ready for a day at the pumpkin patch!
4. UGG Fiore Deco Studs: Ready to Rock
And now for something completely different! The UGG Fiore Deco Studs is an UGG with attitude. The eye-catching Fiore features an intricate pattern made up of dozens of decorative metallic studs. A recognizable UGG silhouette in supple suede will satisfy your fashion sense while allowing you to stand out from the crowd. The comfort that makes UGG boots popular year after year is an integral part of the Fiore's charm. A lining of UGGpure wool helps your feet stay cozy no matter the temperature, while a Treadlite by UGG outsole offers lightweight cushioning, support, and traction. (This is the same type of sole that has helped make the UGG New Classics such a hit!)
Depending on how you choose to style it, the UGG Fiore Deco Studs in Black makes for an exquisitely beautiful statement piece or a punk-influenced accessory on par with combat boots. We decided to try the latter, and the result is a look that will have you ready to rock! Don't pack away your summer shorts just yet—slip them on over a pair of leggings for a cute fall pairing. This is especially helpful for those of us who want to be trendy don't quite feel comfortable wearing leggings alone. The rest is easy: a vintage band tee, red plaid button-up, and slouchy beanie combine for an ensemble that couldn't be cooler, whether you're headed to a GNR concert or a Halloween party.
5. Timberland Authentics Teddy Fleece Fold Down: Beautifully Cozy
You're sure to see Timberland boots gracing the feet of plenty of celebs and fashion icons this fall, and it's not difficult to understand why. With style that's influenced by the great outdoors and quality craftsmanship that keeps up with your on-the-go lifestyle, the Timberland Teddy Fleece Fold Down will make a gorgeous addition to your fall wardrobe. As the name suggests, the top of this versatile boot can fold down or stand tall, supplying two fashionable looks in one. Waterproof leather keeps moisture at bay while the plush fleece lining cocoons your foot in comfort. The lugged rubber outsole is durable and slip-resistant to get you past treacherous terrain. And if you're concerned about protecting the trees that make fall such a beautiful time of year, Timberland is a company committed to the environment, so you can feel great about wearing the Teddy Fleece Fold Down.
We decided to ramp up the cozy appearance of the Timberland Teddy Fleece Fold Down in Winter White by pairing it with a fluffy faux fur vest of the same color. Underneath we have a plaid button-up—that dependable fall standby—and lightly distressed skinny jeans in bright blue. Black rose earrings and a beaded tassel necklace finish off this simple look. Make it your own by switching up the color of the plaid or subbing in your favorite print top.
6. UGG Classic Short Washed Denim: Casually Cool
Always on the cutting edge of fashion, UGG has done it again with the UGG Classic Short Washed Denim. For this new version of the iconic Classic Short, UGG has fused your favorite jeans with your beloved UGG boots for a look that's fun, cozy, and perfect for fall. Of course, the Classic Short Washed Denim offers signature UGG style and comfort from heel to toe, featuring an UGGpure wool lining and flexible EVA outsole. Of course, this boot's Classic Short profile is called "classic" for a reason. Instantly recognizable and perpetually in style, this design is a must-have for UGG lovers everywhere.
So how do you style the UGG Classic Short Washed Denim in Navy without going full-on Canadian tuxedo? Our answer lay in a pair of army green skinny jeans, but leggings would work great, too. Up top, a black-and-white striped hoodie lends a timeless, casual vibe. Fringes are usually a safe bet for fall, so we added a black fringed crossbody bag. Finishing touches include black and gold jewelry, cat-eye sunglasses, and baby pink lips. Add a denim jacket in a hue that's close-but-not-quite for added warmth. If you love denim, this is one UGG fashion statement you won't want to miss.
7. Munro Lexi II: Classy and Fabulous
The bootie is one of Fall 2016's hottest looks, and you would be hard-pressed to find a bootie more chic than the Munro Lexi II. A low-heeled ankle boot with a smooth silhouette, the Lexi II features a contrasting upper of black kid and snakeskin-textured leather. A side zipper with tasseled pull makes for easy on and off. Underfoot, a shock-absorbent, flexible outsole of latex rubber supports and protects you with every step. The Lexi II is expertly assembled in the USA to offer all-day comfort and long-lasting durability. Whether you dress it up for business casual events or down for everyday wear, the Lexi II is sure to make an impression everywhere you go.
We decided to kick it up a notch for the Lexi II in Black Kid/Python by crafting a more elegant look. This ensemble showcases the divine combination of turquoise and black with a floral midi dress as the centerpiece. A black peplum blazer adds interest to the gown's sleek lines, while minimal accessories in matching colors complete the overall aura of sophisticated charm. As for makeup, you can go bright and bold or tastefully subdued depending on the occasion. Tuck your necessities into a basic black clutch with a dainty shoulder chain, and you're ready for the season's fanciest gatherings.
