the best fall boots under $250

Before I jump into my roundup of the best fall boots under $250, I wanted to address this cape! It’s an old favorite of mine by Jenni Kayne – I actually purchased this back in the fall of 2014. Such a classic camel piece I love to take back out from time to time! I’m a big fan of investing in quality wardrobe staples that will stand the test of time, and this cape is one excellent example of those very cherished pieces in my closet. I did my best to find similar camel capes, but unfortunately didn’t have much luck. To see the ones I found, click here! If you don’t care whether it’s camel, check out this style and this style. Both a nearly identical silhouette but with some differing details and colors. Now onto the topic for today’s post!

Boots are one of my favorite clothing items to invest in, as I tend to wear them nearly every day during the fall/winter seasons. A good investment for me is a classic silhouette that is both comfortable and versatile, usually in a neutral color. My all-time favorite boots are ones I end up keeping for years and wear repeatedly. For example, this pair of Stuart Weitzman boots, or this pair of Sergio Rossi boots. Both I’ve had for 3+ years now, and still reach for them regularly every season. Both pairs were pretty pricey, but I have absolutely gotten my money’s worth from each and they’ve held up incredibly well.

With all of that said, I totally understand not everyone wants to spend $500+ on a pair of shoes! If you’re in the market for a pair of chic fall boots but trying to stick within a budget, below is a roundup of the most stylish looks I’ve found! The best part? They’re all under $250, with several pairs even being under $100.

• I love a pointy-toe shoe of any kind, flats, pumps, and boots alike! So when I saw this pair I knew I had to snag ’em. The color fits right into my wardrobe of neutrals, and is a great day-to-night style I know I’ll wear to death. These booties come in a bunch of different colors and fabrics too!
