So, Ashley Benson is currently in NYC looking very chic in outfits that she could certainly pass her for a resident of The City That Never Sleeps (take a look at her Instagram for further proof). But there’s one outfit, in particular, that I’m here to discuss—one shoe trend, in particular, that is.

At first glance, when you look at her outfit, you probably see the amazing coat, but even more groundbreaking (in my opinion, at least) is her boots. You’re probably well aware by now that lug-sole Chelsea boots, riding boots, and square-toe boots are the top boot trends this fall, but you may be wondering what’s next, what’s even fresher… The answer lies in Ashley Benson’s outfit. 

As a fashion editor, I do a lot of shopping, so I usually know when a trend is about to take off, based partly on what I’m seeing on the market. One of those things is fitted thigh-high boots, which is exactly what Benson just wore with her black mini dress and coat. Her cool tread-sole boots are by Stuart Weitzman, and there are lots more options for the choosing. Keep scrolling to shop the best ones before all your friends do.
