Miu Miu brought back the biker boot in a big way for autumn/winter 2022, with grungy, buckled knee-highs taking centre-stage on the runway. Fast-forward to now, and countless brands have jumped on the biker bandwagon, offering up their own iterations: from Paris Texas’s aged-leather style to Aeyde’s toe-capped pair.
While shopping options are available in abundance, when it comes to styling, the way forward isn’t so clear – this is where we come in. Drawing inspiration from the runways, street-style galleries, fashion archives and the pages of British Vogue – the April 2024 issue featured biker boots styled with a white lace dress, hoodie and leather jacket – we’ve come up with five biker boot outfits that are perfect for the months ahead.
First and foremost, the biker boot is your one-stop-shop for transitioning your summer staples into autumn. Make the most of your dresses by wearing them with knitwear and boots, or consider a skirt and jacket for cooler days or showers. You can also take your styling cues from Miu Miu’s own runway: try a patterned mesh skirt, prim cardigan and biker boots.

Short biker boots + white dress + hoodie + leather jacket
Nod to British Vogue’s April issue and style biker boots with a diaphanous dress, hoodie and leather jacket. Add headphones – and a nonchalant attitude – and you’re good to go.

Biker boots + grey cardigan + mesh skirt
Make like Miu Miu this autumn and style suede biker boots with a patterned skirt and crew-neck cardigan. Keep the look from becoming too “librarian” with a flash of sheer fabric – Dries Van Noten’s midi will do the job nicely.

Black biker boots + rugby shirt + barrel-leg jeans
For those tricky transitional weather days, we recommend reaching for a rugby shirt and jeans combo. Finish the look with Vagabond’s black biker boots and a cord necklace from Alighieri.

Biker boots + slip dress + oversized blazer
Give your summer slip dress extra mileage by throwing it over Paris Texas’s faded biker boots and a lacy Alaïa bodysuit. For cooler evenings, meanwhile, Cos’s oversized blazer will add an elegant tailored twist.

Black biker boots + leggings + white shirt
If you’re not a fan of the “skirt and chunky boots” look, then black leggings are a great alternative. Tuck Toteme’s pair into Acne Studios’s knee-high biker boots and style with Filippa K’s oversized white shirt and Aspinal’s shoulder bag for a simple, elevated ensemble.
