“Something's, like, crossed over in me … I can't go back. I mean I just couldn't live.”
This is a line from the iconic Thelma and Louise and the moment when Geena Davis’ mild-mannered Thelma realises she wants to live life her own way. It’s the way, too, we always felt post watching this – and any other vaguely Western movie. Once we’d seen those boots, there was no going back.
Low-rise, high-rise, with stacked heels or spangled stars – Western boots are the only way forward. Head West and embrace the trend.
And with any piece so adored, they're the one thing you want to make work with everything else in your wardrobe – all day, every day. It takes a little mix and match to get this right.
So how can you make those boots feel more #boss and less Britney circa 2001?
Here’s some of our fave boot-scooting combos there's no going back from ...
With jeans

With jeans
Make all your denim dreams come true. If you’re Team Thelma, go for high-rise, statement boots over your favourite pair of denim jeans. Or if you're looking for something a little more everyday, go for a low-rise boot with a slightly more polished look.
Induce: Jungle Fever

Induce: Jungle Fever
Think print on print. Too much is rarely enough. Pair skin on skin, be it leopard, snake or tiger. Plus, everything goes with animal print. Denim. Neutrals and, especially, cowboy boots.
Say Yes To The Dress

Say Yes To The Dress
Whether you’re refusing to give up on the warmer weather and holding onto your summer dresses, or if you’ve got a new drop for the cooler months, it’s a hard yes for us. With our boots, we're loving dresses that lean more yin than yang, with plenty of flounce.
Suit up

Suit up
Try those boots with tailored separates – think oversized blazers and the like. This is something we saw on the streets of fashion week and haven’t been able to shake since.
