Update Every Outfit With The Best Biker Boots Of The Season
Whether knee-high, ankle-grazing, or falling somewhere mid-calf, there's nothing like a biker boot to add a little rebellious edge to your outfits. Fashion's prevailing penchant is for moto styles, inspired by the thick-soled, low-heeled, many-buckled boots traditionally worn by bikers.
Like many great modern trends, the biker boot resurrection is largely thanks to Miu Miu, which solidified the style's cool-girl status back in 2022 with a selection of rounded-toe styles adorned with matte silver hardware. They've remained at the forefront of the collective fashion consciousness ever since, pleasing the street style set and editors alike with their appealing combination of comfort and nostalgic teenage rebellion.
That said, this season's crop of biker boots is firmly grown-up, with a host of styles out there that will slot into the most elevated wardrobes and swiftly become a go-to. Shorter, ankle-grazing incarnations are best with jeans, from wide-leg to barrel-leg cuts. For the bold, they're even great with skinny jeans– who could forget Hedi Slimane pairing moto boots with drainpipe denim in Celine’s SS23 ‘Indie Summer’ show? For the sceptical, straight-leg styles also make for a great combination.
The biker boot renaissance has also seen the return of mid-calf length styles, which (along with knee-high styles) are ideal for immediately updating outfits featuring skirts and dresses. Now is the time to combine floaty, feminine midi skirts and slinky slip dresses with the tougher biker boot silhouette for a winning contrast.
So, without further ado, here are the best biker boots to shop now, from classic black to brown and of-the-moment burgundy...
Leather Biker Boots
Arket has delivered a pretty perfect take on biker boots in their most classic form with this wear-with-everything pair. The rubber sole is pleasingly chunky, while the height – somewhere between knee-high and mid-calf – makes them great with dresses, skirts and trousers alike.
Francesca Moto Boot
There's no reason your new favourite biker boots need to be black. This pair from Reformation is the most perfect shade of 'distressed brown', with an almost burgundy undertone that makes them bang on trend yet reassuringly enduring. Pair them with your favourite slip skirt or dress and add a blazer for an effortless evening look.
Leather Biker Boots
The double looped buckle sets these biker boots apart, giving a slightly more subtle effect that's great if you're not sure you want to fully commit to the trend. Whatever jeans style you're favouring this season – wide-leg, barrel-leg, or even skinny – these will be the ultimate partner to the pairs you're wearing on repeat.
Leather Biker Boots
Miu Miu is largely responsible for the glamorous renaissance of the biker boot, so it pays to invest in a pair from the brand that (re)started it all. We love the slightly crinkled, croc-effect leather, as well as the triangular central buckle and almond-shaped toe. Together, these details give the boots a touch of Western edge, meaning you can tick off two trends in one.
Buckled Suede Ankle Boots
When it comes to finding your new favourite pair of biker boots, don't discount suede – especially as it's an easy way of giving a nod to this season's Western trend. This Chloé pair achieves this especially well, with something of a riding boot in the suede and gold-toned hardware. The pale shade of tan is surprisingly wearable, pairing well with brown as well as black.

Black Mid Shaft Biker Boots
Ganni's chunky black cowboy boots reached cult status a few years ago, but we've got a feeling the brand's take on the biker boot might just surpass that success. They're mid-calf in height, but a looser shape than most other styles out there, creating a slightly baggy silhouette that looks cool while feeling comfortable.
Brooklyn Ankle Boot 50
If you want to nod to the trend without committing to multiple buckles, these Jimmy Choo ankle boots provide a slightly more subtle take on the classic silhouette. The small block heel and rubber sole mean they still provide plenty of stomp-ready attitude (not to mention comfort).
Knee-High Biker Boot
There's something pleasingly Miu Miu about this triple buckled style from Me + Em. The Italian full-grain leather gives them a luxe touch, while the dark brown shade is great if you're looking to branch out from all-black looks. The slightly worn finish adds a touch of nonchalance that's perfect with floaty skirts and dresses.
Tay Calf Length Leather Biker Boots
You can usually rely on All Saints to achieve great things with leather, and this season's selection of biker boots is no exception. The lower buckle means they offer a subtle twist on the traditional biker boot silhouette, with a chunky sole that will allow you to get your steps in with ease.
Roxy Studded Leather Ankle Boots
Paris Texas may be famous for its stiletto-heeled boots, but the brand's biker styles are also well worth your consideration. This pair is a glorious clash between Western and biker influences, with a squared-off toe, stacked Cuban heel and studded straps that give a nod to traditional Texan riding gear. It's the sartorial combination you never knew you needed.
Knee-High Biker Boots
H&M has delivered a winning option this season with these knee-high biker boots. Somewhere between chestnut and chocolate brown, they're a great way to wear some of the biggest shades of the year at once. The block heel give a little height without sacrificing comfort.
Buckle-Embellished Leather Calf-Length Boots
Another great option for those seeking a classic take on the trend, these biker boots are effortlessly easy to slip on with slim-fitting jeans and midi skirts. They have a square toe and studded straps linked to a single circular buckle.
