The only boots you will need this season.

There's something deeply satisfying about finding that one perfect pair of boots that works with literally everything in your wardrobe. And this season, the style set has spoken: riding boots are having a major moment.

You've probably noticed the equestrian aesthetic galloping into the fashion mainstream. What started centuries ago as practical gear for horse riders has transformed into the most versatile footwear choice for 2025. But these aren't your Olympic-grade riding boots.

These are the ankle boot versions.

Watch: How to colour match your style. Post continues below.

The latest iterations blend that timeless equestrian silhouette with modern details that make them wearable for everyday life — whether you've ever been on a horse or not.

Styling them couldn't be simpler. Pair with straight-leg jeans and an oversized knit for weekend coffee runs, or team with a midi skirt and blazer for a work-appropriate look.

So if you're looking to make just one footwear investment this season, make it a pair of ankle riding boots. Your feet (and your 'fit photos) will thank you.
