A Shoe Capsule Wardrobe Essential: The Black Boot

The Shoe Staple Your Closet Needs

When you are ready to build a shoe capsule wardrobe, you want to invest in high-quality and timeless styles. Look for shoes that are versatile, and can easily be styled for day or night. Your shoe capsule wardrobe should also reflect your personal style. A must-have shoe for your capsule wardrobe is a comfortable black boot. A black boot is a true workhorse in your closet. Neutral enough to go with almost anything, structured without being fussy, can go from day to night effortlessly. My picks below are also low and wide-heeled, making them much more comfortable for walking.

Function and Fashion

Below, I’ve selected my favorite black boots, including ankle boots, tall boots, and even my pick for best over-the-knee boots. Which boot you choose will depend on the pieces already in your closet, how you plan on wearing the shoe, and your personal style. For example, if you live in an extremely rainy climate, it might not make the most sense for your go-to black boot to be suede unless it’s a pair of Aquatalia’s weatherproof suede (#4 below). If you’re investing money into your shoe capsule wardrobe, you don’t want the shoe you buy to sit in your closet due to lack of functionality! A capsule wardrobe needs to be functional for you, so make choices that fit your lifestyle.

If your style tends to be more edgy than feminine, you might want to invest in a style like combat boots, or my number five pick below, with visible hardware. These are the boots you would likely get the most use out of. Or if you already have a well-loved pair of brown ankle booties, you might decide that a better option for you would be taller boots, like number ten. These black boots can take you through most seasons and are versatile enough to wear from day to night.
