While we might still be a few weeks away from the official start of fall, actor Sydney Sweeney is embracing the season’s trends early this year. Wearing summer’s chicest shorts with the boot trend that I predict will be everywhere next month, Sweeney crafted an easy ensemble that has inspired my transeasonal wardrobe to no end.
Wearing her white shirt neatly tucked into matching white denim shorts, she nodded to a growing fall trend by bypassing sandals and ballet flats, instead opting for knee-grazing brown leather boots to complete her casual look.

While Sweeney might have jumped on the trend ahead of the rest of us (I am nowhere near ready to say goodbye to my open-toed shoes), I highly doubt it’ll be long until we all own a pair. Appearing across countless fall 2024 runway shows in February, including Chloé’s fan-favorite collection, brown boots are set to become the season’s favorite footwear buy.
With a rich and warm undertone, brown boots pair well with a wide range of fall shades, including forest green, burnt orange, and pale pink. They’re just as versatile as classic black. Before next season really takes hold, style the boots with light summer shorts à la Sweeney, or pair them with a flowing white dress. When temperatures dip, instill a fall feeling by adding tights or wearing them with blue denim.
