Yes, I’m writing this piece as it’s 80 degrees outside in July. But if you’re like me, it’s that time when you start glancing at the fall collections for inspiration and start checking out the early-fall pieces that have already started trickling into the stores and sites. On the footwear front, there’s one key style that basically just screams fall, and there’s currently a plethora of standout styles out there. Yes, I’m talking about black Chelsea boots

The classic ankle-high boot style (that typically has the elastic on the sides) is classic and chic, and is often updated each season in fresh shapes like with chunky soles and higher uppers. I decided to round up the A+ styles out there at one of my go-to stores, Nordstrom. Oh, and by A+, I mean those that are top-rated with over four stars and above.
