New boots are a heralding of autumn, a shout-out that you’re moving into the other side of your closet to make the seasonal switch. In honor, we’ve found five pairs of fabulous boots to inspire you. Not booties, or peep-toe gladiator fringed platform Mary Jane type booties, but real, wonderful boots.

1. Christian Louboutin ‘Forever Tina’ fringe boots: If you’re going to wear fringe, then wear it! Black suede and a five-and-a-half inch heel with that CL signature red sole that you show off when you sit back. $1,575 at Neiman Marcus.

2. Prada Degrade riding boots: Hunting or riding boots are a comfy addition to your boot lineup, and this pair of ombre leather beauties are so hot that Saks will only let you buy three of them every 30 days. They’re $1,250.

3. Ralph Lauren Diane slouch boots: Classic heel, beautiful buttery suede, tall enough to top the knee (this season’s strong boot statement) but still has a bit of slouch to it. Beautiful, and $1,150.

4. Jimmy Choo Heather patent boots: If you’re a boot-lover, then you must have at least one pair of glossy patents in your closet . These are classic, tall, and would be fabulous with same color tights and top.

5. Maison Martin Margiela razor-cut textured boot: You want to stand out? Be an individual? Not stick with the same black suede plain high-heel knee-high crowd? Go for broke in Martin Margiela’s razor-cut and textured boots in bright green. They’re $995.
