Flat Black Ankle Boots: Pull & Bear
Arguably the most versatile pick of the bunch, the Flat Ankle Boots With Elastic Side Gores (£39.99) will work for a whole host of occasions. From Sunday afternoon strolls, to formal work meetings and even brunch with friends, they're fuss-free and functional, yet certainly still stylish.
Black Cowboy Boots: Ariat
Ariat is known for its classic cowboy boots and these Heritage R Toe Western Boots (£160) are no exception. Coming up at mid-calf length, they'll pair perfectly with everything from dresses to trousers and even over leggings for a cool, casual and seriously stylish look. The subtle floral stitching gives them an authentic look, whilst the style is also available in tan.
Chunky Black Boots: River Island
The chunkier the sole the better with this season's shoe styles and River Island heard this message loud and clear. With white contract stitching, a thick-set sole, and PU upper, the Black Chunky Boots (£55) look as comfortable as they do cool.
Shearling Black Boots: Ted Baker
Channel ski season with the shearling trend that is a winter must-have. With a faux shearling tongue, these Mosie Faux Shearling Hiker Boots (£175) are more fashionable than highly functional, yet nail the chalet girl aesthetic effortlessly.
Heeled Black Boots: Matt & Natt
With a quirky shaped heel, square toe, and just over-the-ankle length, these Amour Women's Vegan High Heeled Boots (£90) bring a chic element to any outfit. The 2.5inch heel means they won't be too painful for your feet, either! Matt & Natt is a vegan-friendly brand, too, and this pair is made from biodegradable materials.
Warm Black Boots: Ugg
Ugg has had a resurgence this season, reclaiming its position with the fashion crows again thanks to model Bella Hadid. The UGG Classic Ultra Mini Leather Boots Women's (£145) is one of our favourite finds from the Australian brand. Lined with wool, this pair are guaranteed to keep your feet toasty come winter.
Black Combat Boots: Saint + Sofia
The chunky lace-up style works with jeans or with a floral dress to offset the feminine print. The Saint + Sofia Noho Boot (£249) fits the bill thanks to the almond shape toe and smooth leather finish. Combat style done fashionably.
Black Flat Knee-High Boots: Guess
Knee-hight riding boots are having a moment and are an ideal choice if you want to create a streamlined look with a midi dress, with no slither of skin breaking up your outfit. These Faux Leather Faeya High Boots (£200) have a minimal feel that means they will go with just about anything.
Black Versatile Boots: Jigsaw x Collagerie
As part of the brand new Collagerie collection at Jigsaw, co-designed by Jigsaw's creative director Jo Sykes and Collagerie's co-founder Lucinda Chambers, these leather ankle boots (£200) will soon become your best footwear friend. Ok, so we know technically they are called brown but we've seen them IRL and they are super dark so give a slightly warmer feel, but will still go with everything! The slight heel gives them an elevated feel, yet the height means they can easily been worn from day to night. The added stitching on the strap hints at the cowboy trend making this pair current yet timeless in equal measure.
Black Stomper Boots: Charles & Keith
There's no need to shy away from stomper boots, they are the backbone of so many casual outfits this season, and it's all about the soles. These Aberdeen Platform Boots (£109) tick every box for the stomper boot, adding a '90s punk vibe to your wardrobe. What makes these stomper boots extra special, is that the ankle section transforms into a sock boot for a streamlined effect.
Black Patent Boots: Dr. Martens
We couldn't do a black boot round up without including a pair of Doc Martens. The statement boots are the OGs of chunky styles, and are high on quality. The robust boots have been given a little shine, so why not try a patent pair? The 460 Patent Leather Lace-Up Boots (£159) include the classic yellow stitching and laces we've come to know and love.
Black Over-The-Knee Boots: H&M
Over-the-knee boots are seriously sexy, and this H&M pair oozes confidence. Whether pairing with a mini dress for a night of fun, or under a midaxi for an added layer of warmth, the suede-look Over-The-Knee boots (£49.99) are showstoppers. The block heel is comfier and more practical than stiletto versions, while this pair ends mid-thigh. The only downside? If you have shorter legs, they are unlikely to sit in the right place so you might want to steer clear.
Contrast Sole Black Boots: Bershka
Breaking up the black for just a second, these Bershka boots are bright, bold, and will certainly bring the attention straight to feet. With a yellow sole, the
Bershka Chunky Flat Chelsea Boot with Contrast Yellow Sole in Black (£25.50) stand out from the crowd in all the right ways. They are slip-on, too, so are super easy to leave by your door for when you're in a rush.
Black Mid-Heel Ankle Boots: Dune
Made from suede, the Dune London Black Obsessive 2 Mid Heel Ankle Boots (£120) are ideal for party season. Whether wearing them to the office, out on the town, or even to a winter wedding, the added texture gives a luxe feel to any look.
Black Waterproof Boots: Merry People
While waterproof boots may not be the sexiest of styles, they work wonders when it comes to rainy season, and you'll be glad to have a pair to hand when a downpour begins. These Bobbi Wellington Boots (£79.95) are super sweet. Not as overpowering as a knee-length welly, they are made from natural rubber, neoprene, and certified vegan glue.
Black Heeled Knee-High Boots: Boden
Invest in a pair of black heeled knee-high boots and you won't look back! Instantly elevating an everyday dress, skirt and tights, or even a baggy, oversized jumper dress, these Knee-High Leather Boots (£230) are topping our wishlists. The butter soft leather is super luxe, they also come with a side zip-fastening and available in tan, and cream.
Black Biker Boots: Kurt Geiger
High street stalwart Kurt Geiger is a one-stop shop for most footwear needs. Biker boots typically have added buckle features for an edgy finish. The Taya2 (£149) really caught our eye with silver-tone hardware and a chunky sole.
Black Chelsea Boots: & Other Stories
The reliable Chelsea boot is a wardrobe staple and are loved for their minimal aesthetic and comfortable appeal. These Chunky Sole Chelsea Boots (£165) are the perfect pick for every occasion from the boardroom to brunch.
