Style Notes: The eighties are back, and we're celebrating by investing in one (or more) pairs of white shoes. Whether it's a pair of high heels, kitten heels, sandals, ankle boots or slip-ons, there are so many ways to get in on the trend.

Topshop Jade Pointed Mid Shoes (£56)

These will work well for all seasons.

& Other Stories Leather Ankle Boots (£85)

For everyday wear, try something with a mid-height heel.

Style Notes: If you're in the market for a sandal, let us convince you to slip into something throwback. Yes, '90s sandals are set to be huge, and we couldn't be happier, as it's just in time for party season. When it comes to styles, choose square toes and heels, metallics or brights. These will make a simple jeans-and-tee combo feel instantly more grown-up.

H&M Satin Sandals (£30)

Get these before they're gone.

Aquazzura Paradis 85 Sandals (£530)

Take on two trends with Aquazzura's Paradis 85 sequinned heels.

Ganni Iris Sneakers (£300)

Guaranteed comfort from Ganni.

Maje XXL Sneakers In Mixed Material (£260)

Calling all maximalists: this is the pair for you.

Style Notes: Minimalists, look away now, as this trend is all about embracing fun. Look to standout heel designs, vivid colours and unique silhouettes.

Neous Hea Leather Ankle Boots (£685)

Dip your toe in the trend with a little help from Neous.

Topshop HOWDIE High Ankle Boots (£89)

Western style meets snake print chic.

Style Notes: Everyone's gone gaga over animal print the last few seasons, but this year it's snake print taking the lead. Inject a little reptilian appeal into your wardrobe and style your fave jeans with a pair of snake skin boots.

Aeyde Leandra (£308)

Perfect if you want low-key snake print.

Style Notes: As for colour, it seems that ice-cream shades continue to dominate, with pinks, lilacs, powder blues, yellows and greens being the preferred shades to be seen in right now.

Topshop HENLEY High Ankle Boots (£89)

Pastel green in the hot hue of the season.

Mansur Gavriel Leather Ankle Boots (£550)

Chic boots like this from Mansur Gavriel do little to dull the hype around the pink trend.

Style Notes: Slouchy boots are one of the biggest and most wearable trends to emerge last season. And now, just in time for autumn, some of our favourite brands are lining their rails with every possible option, from mid-height to over-the-knee, leather to suede, burgundy to bright whites—you're guaranteed to find the perfect pair here.

Uterqüe High White Boots (£180)

Low heels are great for off-duty dressing.

Uterqüe High Split Suede Boots (£200)

Or, for something a little less daring, try something suede with a sturdy, manageable heel.

Style Notes: We don't need much convincing to invest in a super-practical, flat pair of boots. From white Chelsea styles to hiking boots with bold laces, - we've lost count of the number of influencers we've spotted wearing autumnal outfits with chunky flat ankle boots.
