Y’all seemed to enjoy the 4 Ways to Style a T-Shirt Dress post last month so I thought I’d make it a monthly thing. Each month, I’ll choose one trend or item I see myself wearing often, and will style it a few different ways. I personally re-wear items all the time and value being able to style something in a variety of ways and I hope that you do too!

This month, I’m taking on combat boots. I know they’re a trend and seem hard to pull off – I totally get it – but I think they’re something fresh, and not to mention very practical for fall and winter. When wearing them, I keep everything else pretty classic + basic so it feels more like me. There’s a lot of variety when it comes to combat boots, from a chunky look to something sleeker, so I’m linking several of them below (this pair being my favorite). Keep in mind that you never have to wear a style just because it’s trending; if they aren’t for you, skip this post.

If you are into the look, here are 4 ways to style them, all in a more toned down, classic way. If there’s a certain item or trend you want me to focus on for October, just let me know.
