10 Of The Best: Peep-Toe Boots

Thanks to the ‘unseasonably low’ temps (as the weather man puts it) we’ve been experiencing lately, we think it’s safe to say that those jolly sandal days are all but over (sad face). And as if a sandal-less August wasn’t depressing enough already, these pesky winds and sporadic patches of rain has also brought on a whole new set of style-related dilemmas that even our well-equipped capsule wardrobes can’t handle.

So, as we focus on readjusting our morning routines – goodbye sundresses and T-shirts; hello lightweight knits and denim – we’ve quickly come to realise that one issue that needs addressing, pronto, is footwear.

With strappies out of the question – and having worked those beloved skater slip-ons to the ground – we’ve been hunting for the perfect shoes that provide just enough coverage and warmth, but that don’t feel too wintry. And luckily, we think we’ve found just the thing. Ladies, meet the peep-toe boot – AKA the ankle boot’s sexier, more summery sister who’ll act as the perfect companion to jeans – the ultimate trans-seasonal essential – as well as anything from playful little shifts to skirts of various lengths.

Great for wearing sans-stockings (don’t forget to keep those little piggies pedicured), you can also pop on contrasting coloured socks for a more playful, fashion-forward outcome when the weather gets too cold for toe-baring. And yep, we seriously think everyone needs a pair. So, here’s 10 of our favourite open-toe styles that you can buy and wear now.
