Autumn leaves are falling, and whilst it’s all very pretty, our ballet flats are just not withstanding the journey through leaf-infiltrated pavements. So there’s only one solution: a great pair of boots.

These Marcella boots from Reiss are ideal for the job. With a big chunky heel, a hardy leather finish and a cosy shearling trim, these boots will keep you warm and stylish throughout the wet and cold seasons ahead.

What’s more, they’re versatile, too – wear the fur trim turned up for extra ankle warmth, or folded down to channel the Burberry girls (one of the most coveted pieces from the design house’s collection last autumn).

These boots will look amazing when worn with minimal pieces to show off their directional style in all its glory. Quite honestly, we don’t know what you’re waiting for.
