1. Granny shoes are hands downs the hottest look this fall, but that doesn’t mean you should raid your nana’s closet. Pick up a modernized pair, throw on some tights and show those little old ladies how it’s done.

2. Play up your sporty side with some old-school knee-high socks and chunky boots. But don’t forget the leggings, as layers are what tie this casual look together.

3. A girl can never have enough ass-kicking boots. Wear them under a short skirt for a night on the town, or slip them on under some pinstripe slacks for the office. Either way, it’s all about the heel.

4. Hot pink tights and suede stilettos are best left to the fashion-forward. And if you’ve read this far, I’m talking about you. Embrace the neon side of the color wheel this fall and show ’em how true glamour is done.

5. So you’ve never ridden a horse. That’s no reason not to own a pair of beaten-up cowby boots. Low-slung is the look of the moment—add a splash of color and you’re ready for the rodeo.
