There's no question that boots are the ultimate autumn shoe. The question every year is: what boot style is going to trend this fall. The answer? Riding boots.

That's right, in 2026, we're having a horse girl fall. From a Princess Diana-inspired countryside outfit to Kendall Jenner's equestrian-chic ensembles, you're about to see riding boots all over your fall feed.

Most Classic Design: Sam Edelman Penny Riding Boot
Trendy & Comfortable: Dr. Scholl's Women's Joplin Wide Calf Tall Boot
Designer Riding Boot Deal: Michael Kors Royce Riding Boot (now $135.15, was $375)

The heritage style is defined by a knee-high silhouette, sleek leather uppers, and a (usually) flat heel. Typically seen in rich hues like chocolate brown, deep burgundy, distressed tan, and classic black, riding boots provide a quiet luxury feel that gives "IYKYK" energy.

They complement the skinny jean comeback as much as they do a textured tights and a mini dress combo. Basically, riding boots are the versatile shoe your fall wardrobe is lacking—and you can shop our favorites below.
