So I bought these buckle boots on impulse because I saw this girl at Target wearing them and she looked so cool I got jealous. Got home and realized I have no idea how to wear them without looking like I’m playing dress-up or going to some medieval fair. Wore them to brunch yesterday with a sundress and my friend literally laughed at me. She wasn’t being mean but like, ouch.
Buckle boots are way trickier than regular boots because they have this whole vibe that can go wrong fast. Too many buckles and you look like you’re about to join a biker gang, too few and they just look boring.
I’ve been practicing different outfits in my room like a crazy person because I refuse to return them after spending that much money. These looks actually work without making you look like you raided a costume shop.
Here are my absolute favorite cool buckle boots outfit ideas and I’m so sure you’ll love them too.
