There’s no doubt boots are a fall staple, and one style I keep seeing—and wearing myself—year after is the combat boot. They’re an easy way to instantly toughen up and outfit and add a cool, forward edge. Paired with jeans and a leather jacket, they’re the perfect weekend look. But they can also fit into the more traditionally elegant wardrobes—just take a look at how Michelle Amo styled them with a chic suit for an outfit that feels both polished and cool.
