Step Confidently Into Fall With 2025’s Must-Have Biker Boots
We’ve only just dipped a toe into fall, but the savviest shoppers among us know that it pays to buy your winter boots early – the best styles have a tendency to sell out fast
If you’ve been paying attention to the fall trends, you’ll know that bikercore has made a comeback. The best dresses, skirts, shirts, pants and jackets on the runways all had one thing in common: leather. Meaning, when it comes to footwear this season, the biker boot is set to be one of the most sought-after styles.
It’s an excellent, hard-wearing boot – defined by its chunky (usually flat) sole and smooth leather – typically in a three-quarter length with buckle details and often without laces. It’s the kind of boot you can effortlessly pull on over thick cashmere socks on cold mornings and head out on your commute, unfazed by inclement weather.

The biker boot was a staple of the early 2000s, styled with black leggings and distressed denim, but 2025 calls for a chicer approach. On the streets, tastemakers have been pairing theirs with tailored pieces, toning down the boots’ grungy feel. Stockholm and Copenhagen Fashion Weeks over the summer months were a masterclass in how to wear biker boots now – while we cling to the last gasps of summer, follow their lead and style yours with floaty dresses or a blazer and mini skirt.
If you’re wondering how to take summer’s bohemian trend into the cooler months, this is it. On the fall runways, designers blended the whimsy of modern boho with the confident attitude of bikercore. Look to Burberry, where tall biker boots were styled with soft and sumptuous knits.
For the dream leather jacket to finish your look, Khaite, Givenchy, Simone Rocha and Tom Ford have you covered. As for what goes in between, skip the black leggings and distressed denim in favor of something a touch more refined – like a knitted midi dress or a cashmere knit and wide-leg jeans.
