The biker boot has been a wardrobe essential for many for a long time now, but this season it has firmly hit the fashion spotlight, taking centre stage alongside its cousin, the ankle boot.
Back by popular demand is our biker boot, Helen from Anonymous Copenhagen. We love it for its simple yet elegant design and the black grain leather feels gorgeous.

But how do you wear it? If you think biker boots aren’t your thing or that you can’t carry them off, think again. You can be elegant, modern, edgy, romantic and comfortable – all at the same time. The biker boot can bring a whole new accent to many of your wardrobe staples. And there’s no need to own a Harley Davidson – unless you want to, of course.
Here are five ways to wear biker boots this season.
With skinny jeans and blazer.
This is the look you will return to time and again this winter if you own a pair of biker boots. Infinitely practical, the blazer or long coat will put a preppy accent on this rock chick look, upping the elegance factor.
With a midi or maxi dress.
For a romantic look with an edge, toughen up last summer’s soft, floaty midi dresses and bring that trend bang up to date by pairing with a biker boot.
With leggings and layers.
A matte leather legging paired with biker boots brings a strong, confident vibe. The go-to look for models and fashionistas, team it with layers such as a white shirt, sweater, jacket and blanket scarf and you’ll feel invincible.
With cropped wider leg jeans.
For a super contemporary look, pair your biker boots with cropped boyfriend or wider leg jeans or trousers. Finish it off with a simple, elegant leather jacket for a modern chic vibe.
With a short skirt or dress.
For a feminine and strong look, pair your biker boots with a shorter skirt or dress – either floaty or tailored both work. It’s a contrasting style that has proven incredibly popular this season.
