5 Ankle-Boot Trends My Chic Friends Will Wear in 2020

I’ve gone over this before, but I, like many of you, basically live in pointed-toe black ankle boots. The classic silhouette is just so versatile and timeless. What’s not to love, right? That said, while I’d never turn my back (or foot, rather) on my go-to black boots, I’m always open to testing out fresh silhouettes when something feels right at the start of a new season—and many of my friends are also on the same page.

In fact, I recently hung out with a few friends that wear basic booties on the regular, and I brought up some of the biggest boot trends from the S/S 20 runways. While there were actually quite a range of unique looks, there were five key silhouettes that piqued the interest of most in my crew. So with that, I’m sharing a bit of visual (runway and street style) and shopping inspiration below to showcase the cool ankle-boot trends my chic friends are curious about testing out next year. Well, when they decide to peel off their favorite basic booties, that is.

The spotlight isn’t dimming on square-toe booties. This forward shape will be updated in 2020 to showcase geometric heels with playful, color-blocked twists.

For an especially modern take on square-toe boots, Loewe didn’t shy away from offbeat color mixing and polished details. Just take this loafer design for example.
Style Tip: Mix a multitextured pair of square-toe boots with a statement maxi coat for maximum impact.

Biker boots ruled 2019, but ankle boots featuring chunky shapes, brassy hardware, and bold buckle details will be especially cool come 2020 as well.

Sure, the buckle and metallic accents bring that biker edge, but the overall sleek shape of these Alexander McQueen boots also feels quite polished.
Style Tip: Teaming biker boots with straight-leg jeans and a leather jacket is inherently cool yet timeless.

Sure, lace-fronts are practical for support, but it also brings a cool aesthetic to an otherwise simple pair of booties.

There are so many details that are right about this Louis Vuitton silhouette, including the on-trend laces, rounded toes, and slightly curved heels.
Style Tip: Consider a sophisticated pair of lace-up booties for work with a midi skirt and sharp blazer.

Snowy-white boots will continue to have their moment come 2020 as a fresh alternative to the other neutral picks in your closet.

Altuzarra’s take on white boots is current in design with the low shape and chain accent.
Style Tip: Try white booties with a printed white dress and bomber coat for an unexpected winter vibe.

On the other end of the boot spectrum come brightly colored silhouettes that are equal parts eclectic and eye-catching.

Never afraid to push it with experimental looks, Sacai's footwear range—these colored boots included—take footwear to a new dimension.
Style Tip: Hot pink just so happens to be one of the It trends of the season. If you really want to go for it, consider the monochromatic look by matching your coat to your boots.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
