The best new ankle boots autumn/winter 2020
Chic ankle boots are a wardrobe staple. These are the best new-season styles
The new season inevitably starts with coats and boots, a lingering ritual from school days, perhaps, when the dawn of a new academic year was marked with a trip to the local department store to stock up on these staples for the coming year.
With a whole season ahead it makes sense to invest wisely, eschewing one-season wonders and spending money on items that you'll be happy to wear well into the years ahead.
Ankle boots are perhaps one of the most versatile items in a woman's wardrobe, as readily worn with dresses and skirts as trousers and jeans.
The right pair can be worn to work and at weekends, would look as good at a gig as the local garden centre and are fit for stomping around Portobello Road Market or up Parliament Hill.
One of the key footwear trends for the new season incorporates some serious stompiness, perfect for those who've become used to the daily ritual of a walk around the city and need something sturdy as the weather turns and the leaves begin to drop.
Somewhat less practical is the vogue for white and cream boots, which will take some care to keep looking new, especially if they're not equipped with a sturdy lug sole.
