The season of contrasts in fashion is in full swing, and one of its standout hits is the combination of dresses with striking boots. This stylish duo has long moved beyond conventional pairings, unveiling new facets of femininity and boldness. From knits to chiffon, from classic thigh-highs to rugged combat boots – the variety of combinations allows for endless experimentation to find your perfect look.

Wild west

Bohème-style dresses are a must-have for 2025, not only because they've dominated runway collections but also due to the rise of the rodeo core trend, set to replace last year’s beloved office core. When choosing a new dress adorned with luxurious ruffles and fringe, pair it with cowboy boots or sharp-toed heeled boots. This tandem will become a staple for every cowboy girl’s wardrobe.

Day to night

No matter how trends evolve, knit dresses remain an irreplaceable winter essential. Unsurprisingly, a fitted sheath or sweater dress pairs effortlessly with boots and suits every wardrobe. You can style them in countless ways, but classic combinations shine the brightest. Opt for a straight midi dress with riding boots featuring clean lines, no embellishments, and a low heel almost reaching the hemline. Alternatively, pair a sweater dress with thigh-high boots for a timeless look.

Shine bright

Glitter and sequins have broken free from the confines of special occasions, making their way into everyday outfits. A shimmering dress matched with knee-high boots featuring wide shafts and low heels is the kind of perfect pair you’ll fall in love with this winter.

Romantic outdoor

A slip dress with lace accents remains a staple, holding strong into the new season. There's no need to wait for warmer weather to style it. Create contrast by adding an edge to its delicacy: think sporty jackets, chunky-soled combat boots, or heeled boots.
