When you’re putting together an outfit with red boots, the undertone you choose really matters. Some reds can lean warm with hints of orange, brown, or gold. Others can be cool, with touches of purple and blue.
So, it’s a good idea to pay attention to those subtle differences in each hue. I find that warm red boots will just pop against neutral beiges and ivories. At the same time, cool reds look amazing next to navy, gray, and other jewel tones.
Keeping everything in one undertone family creates such a cohesive look. So before you fall in love with a fiery new pair of boots, just think about whether their undertones vibe with the rest of your outfit. Trust me, it can make all the difference.
Now for the fun part! Here are 21 head-to-toe ways to wear red boots with so much style.
1. Autumnal Chic
I am obsessed with this look for fall! It’s the perfect way to mix classic patterns with a vibrant pop of red.
The black and white houndstooth dress is such a great base, and then you bring in the cherry red coat and matching knee-high boots to really welcome the new season.
To pull it all together, a wide belt is a must. And how cute is it to coordinate your handbag with your boots? This outfit is the ideal combination of cozy and fashionable.
2. Date Night
Looking for the perfect romantic evening outfit? This date night look is so sultry with its lace top, black pants, and those fiery red cowboy boots that give it a sexy western vibe.
