These Are the Flat Boot Styles Trending in Europe

If you ask me, boots season is greater than sandals season. I am selective when it comes to shopping, however the one item I purchase every year is a new pair of flat boots, as they always act as the cornerstone of my wardrobe from September until April. For the past few years I have navigated London’s winters in chunky ankle boots with a practical lug sole, however this year I am craving a change.

I have decided that I will personally be investing in a pair of flat knee-high riding boots, preferably with a subtle buckle detail around the calf. If money was no object, I would opt for the glossy Merlot-hued boots that were shown at Gucci, or the olive-hued riding boots that walked at Fendi. But in reality my budget is more H&M than Hermès, and I’m tempted by the sleek riding boots that have just arrived at Massimo Dutti.
