If there is one thing I live in come A/W, it's a black boot.

Work? Black boots. Night out? Black boots. Weekend shopping? Black boots. Mini-break? Black boots. The list goes on and on. And although colourful vinyl boots, snakeskin print boots and now, leopard print boots are all in fashion for this season, having a black boot in your wardrobe is still essential. They are guaranteed to go with every outfit and the perfect shoe to throw on no matter what the elements. Thus, I've compiled a list of five pairs from € - €€€ for you to choose from. I've included real leather, faux leather, block heel, flat, sock shape and pointed toe. All the factors we put into play when considering the perfect black boot. Here are my top picks!

Topshop - €117

Missguided - €53

Zara - €59.95

Prada - €675

Monki - €60 

And if you're looking for a tip when it comes to buying black boots, my advice is to purchase them early! I cannot express this enough. When the weather actually does get bitter and you run to buy a pair, you'll be left with slim pickings. Trust me, think ahead and purchase now. Some of the boots included in this article had others pairs on the brand's sites already fully sold out. You'll thank us come December.
