Black boots are an essential staple in all our wardrobes. But not all styles look good on everyone.
Here are the best styles of black boots in 2024 that will elevate your outfit. Because not all styles of black boots look good. Or make sense to spend money on.
I have always been a fan of having versatile black boots that will work with all my outfits. So, let’s check these out, shall we.
Everyday Basic Chelsea Ankle Boots
I am so glad that these were my first pair of black boots that I bought and I cant tell you how glad I was. These are the most comfortable and flattering styles out there and you honestly can never go wrong with a good pair of Chelsea boots.
Love the pointed toe style that will easily elongate your legs whether you wear them with
Chelsea boots are slip style with elastics on the side which makes them comfortable to put on and slide out of. This is also a classic style of boots that have been there since the Victorian times, well I honestly can imagine a queen tying her boot laces.
They go well with any kind of outfit, and hence they are the most versatile and a really essential pair to own.
Dressy Heeled Black Ankle Boots
Dressy black boots are really important footwear you need in your wardrobe. They will elevate and complement all your winter special occasion outfits.
These black boots look fancier and hence having pointed heels is better than block heel. But you don’t have to wear 5 inch heels if you are not comfortable. You can also achieve this look with kitten heels.
The side zip details adds a little luxurious look to the boots and makes it even more stylish and perfect for any special occasion. I call these my party booties, I wear them with leather skirt and tights to make it really chic and still keep my feet warm.
And since these are blacks they go well with anything, so a girl cant complain.
You can pair them with jeans, skirts, and dresses where your outfit will look classy and elevated.
Black Tall Boots
These are not over the knee boots, I will get to those in a bit. But these are tall boots that sit lower to your knees, but cover all of your calves, so give optimal coziness. And these are the only style of boots that I truly love for tall boots.
The length makes them comfortable to walk, run and sit and do other activities. And when I look at and footwear, comfort is the first thing that comes to my mind. And this length of boots are really comfortable and are functional as well. You can wear them with skirts, dresses, skinny jeans and wide leg jeans as well, which clearly signifies the versatility of the boots.
You can either pick flat boots, but when I do buy tall boots, I go for a little heel and these ones from Sam Edelman have around 3 inch platform heels, but because of the wider bottoms, these are absolutely comfortable and stylish. The front portion does not really matter in this style as much.
I picked these ones which are square toe styles, but I also love pointy toes. They would elongate your leg even more.
Black Mid Length Boots
If you love wearing midi skirts, midi dresses or denim skirts with front slits, you need mid length boots. And the best color to buy as your first pair are black ones.
I didn’t think I needed them till I wore them. If your ankles get scrapped a lot with ankle boots, these are your solutions.
They are great to wear with wide leg jeans as well. Your outfits look neat and sophisticated.
Now, in terms of style of these boots, you can pick square toe or pointed toes. But no rounded toes. They just look old fashioned.
Block Heel Ankle Boots
The block heel black boots are like your power boots. I love these. And honestly you spending some extra dollars to find the right style is so worth it.
These black ankle boots have block heels which makes them really comfortable to walk in. But because of the heels they look so stylish and powerful.
You can wear these shoes with your work wear and also wear them with everyday casual outfits.
These black boots are an absolute essential if you want to look polished, powerful and like the boss lady.
If you are worried about heel height even if they are block heels, then opt for shoes with 2 inch heel height.
Waterproof Black Boots
A lot of women skip these and just wear those hideous hunter boots. Ladies it’s not 2000 anymore. You are a grown woman and can do better. And you don’t have to spend a lot of money either.
The black waterproof boots are perfect for winter and rainy season where you can rock the black shade and have slip proof footwear.
And these black ankle boots look stylish too. They will compliment your outfit as well. But most importantly these won’t get damaged in the rain.
Black Boot Styles that You Really Don't Need
These ones are the ones that I have bought, made some expensive mistakes as well, but well we all learn from them dont we.
Over the knee boots
These are really a waste of money. Dont get me wrong, they look really stylish and sultry. But that is about it. These boots are really annoying to put on and walk around all day. Most brands make them in just a specific calf width, but our legs are not the same, so they often slide down and lets me be honest, its not worth thinking about your boot lace all day long or all night if you are at a party.
Even if you do decide to go for those skin fit ones, you can only wear them with skirts and dresses, which does not make them an essential.
Sock Booties
This was a huge trend last year, and probably will come back this year. They do look really good. But again a style which is really limits your outfit choices. There is another weird thing that I noticed after making an expensive purchase. They make your feet look smaller.
I already have a proportionally smaller feet, and it looks worse with those booties. They only way you can balance out that is by wearing flare jeans, which well defeats the whole purpose.
If you have a different thought about them, I would love to know.
Combat Boots
I think if you already own a pair of these, you can hold on to them, but these styles of boots in black look too intense. So, instead simply pick them in a different shade, brown, tan or my favorite white.
