I’ve been living in Brooklyn for a few years now and love the personal style of everyone I pass by. I find myself asking passersby the details of their outfits, especially their shoes. This year, spring is taking a longer time than usual to hit my favorite borough, but I’ve been preparing anyway. I noticed during our short stint with the sun, aka Fool’s Spring, boots were still everywhere.
Boots don’t have to be limited to winter, but I was caught by surprise at the number of people still wearing boots. I’d assume people would wear sandals, heels, flip-flips… but then it hit me: These boot trends will be everywhere once spring has officially arrived. From moto boots to animal-print, boots will still be a major spring trend.

These boots are everywhere. My best friend and one of my neighbors has a pair. During all my café and errand stops, I keep seeing this edgy trend styled with casual outfits and leather jackets, namely. Moto boots are so back for spring.

If there’s one shoe I see religiously worn around my block, it’s a kitten-heel boot. Since winter, it’s been a major trend in NYC, and it’s clearly a fan favorite for spring, too. I’m wearing my pair with shorts and a tank top for an edgy, cool-girl vibe.

This trend is definitely for the bold and brave dressers. If you’re not much of a print person, I suggest trying animal-print boots with a simple outfit like below. You can also pair them with jeans or pants and have the print as a slight pop to zhuzh up your outfit.
