There’s no denying that white boots haven’t gone out of style. Sure, more colorful options are appearing, but white boots were quietly maintaining their hold on the shoe market behind the scenes. Since the fall of 2016, they’ve had one. If fashion month is any indication, the street style set’s love affair with this trend will last well into spring.

The white boot is popular among fashion insiders all over the world. We can’t tell if it was nostalgia from the 1960s or fond memories from the 1990s that first drew them in. What can be confirmed is that this trend contains all of the elements of a perfect seasonal transition piece. It stands out against fuzzy coats and other statement outerwear pieces in the winter.

On gloomy days in early spring, it heralds the arrival of brighter days—and also provides a more covered-up option when much more barely-there shoes aren’t quite appropriate. There’s also the added benefit of white picking everything. There aren’t many outfits that a white boot can’t work its way into, from denim to floral prints to bright colors to classic neutrals. It’s the new black, we believe you’ll agree. This craze clearly has legs. If you’re looking for a quick and simple way to transition into spring while remaining weather-appropriate.
