Western-inspired boots are everywhere this season. This nude pair from Matisse is a great option if you want to give the trend a try without going all-in. 

Speaking of western boots, I am obsessing over this pair of cap-toed booties by Isabel Marant right now. I would style them with a floral mini dress or with a pair of high-waisted jeans. 

These snakeskin boots from Schutz prove that knee-high styles can totally work in the summer! Pair them with a white dress for some added edge. 

These booties from Linea Paolo are the perfect combination between a sandal and a closed-toed boot. They also come in white, but you won't have to clean this black pair as often.
