Chunky Fall Shoes Have Never Looked Chicer

chunky fall shoes

Boot season is back, and we're seeing lug soles and chunky silhouettes in all our fall shoes. This time around, practical platforms are being added on to all our favorite footwear, from office-ready loafers, to slip-on mules and heels and, in the most exciting development of the season, classic sneaker styles. Make sure you have a few chunky shoe options in your wardrobe this fall to pair with fall jackets and sweaters to give your outfits a little edge (and your height a little boost, without the pain of a heel!).

Marc Fisher Meron Platform Chelsea Boot ($225)

Consider a lugged-sole Chelsea boot the new fall classic, and investing in a beautiful camel-colored version a must for the new season.

Vince Camuto Phrancie Lug Sole Boot ($198)

For an updated take on fall's dress-with-boots combo, we're eyeing these beautiful knee high boots. Cool details like a roomy shaft and exposed stitching give them a fresh appeal that's so hard to resist this season.

Charles & Keith Platform Clogs ($59)

Clogs that are chunky and cool, but understated and wearable at the same time? Found 'em.

Converse Black Lugged Chuck Taylor All Star Hi Sneakers ($70)

Finally, a platform sneaker you can wear with everything (just like your original pair of Chucks!)

UO Black Been Chunky Chelsea Boot ($79)

For a light-weight take on the trend, these booties balance a lugged sole with a proper heel and a sock-like shaft.

Franco Sarto Jensine Combat Boot ($169)

Less prominent lug sole grooves give these combat booties a clean shape that's already worth coveting, but it's the buttery leather color that seals the deal.

ASOS New Look Chunky Loafer ($53)

Like a pump, a chunky loafer demands attention at the office, but unlike a sky-high heel, you can actually walk around in these.

Steve Madden Klayton Bootie ($130)

Meet the new sock boot, which is bringing back the look (and comfort) of a retro platform and sturdy block heel.

Vagabond Brooke Platform Bootie ($210)

Pairing an all-black platform bootie with leather leggings and an oversized cardigan is a mood this season.

Aerosoles Wanda Sandals ($100)

A sandal with a chunky sole and faux-snakeskin upper means you don't have to miss out on the elements of fall dressing when it's still warm out.

Circus by Sam Edelman Elena Loafers ($90)

Suddenly, our office footwear of choice has some personality — and dare we say some punk sensibility, thanks to the cool contrast stitching.

Mia Chasidy Combat Boot ($60)

These combat boots have been outfitted with a bold lug sole to look expensive, although they hardly are.

Mango Leather Strapped Sandals ($130)

If "fall" still means scorching temps where you live, you can participate in the chunky shoe trend with a thick, strappy brown sandal instead.

Dolce Vita Casper H2O Booties ($150)

Before winter dressing has you stuck in a black bootie rut, these sandy, suede booties offer a pretty alternative to complement your fall wardrobe.

ASOS Designed Harper Heeled Mules ($43)

Chunky mules mean you can go from desk to dinner in style.

Nine West Garren Lug Sole Loafers ($89)

Here's your proof that platform loafers can still look totally polished.

Public Desire Rainyday Chunky Zip Up Wellies ($65)

Why yes, cute rain boots do exist — by way of these block-heeled wellies.

Franco Sarto Janna Over The Knee Boot ($169)

If a chunky sole isn't enough drama for you, combine it with an over-the-knee silhouette to ensure all eyes are on your outfit.

E8 By Mista Kristi Platforms ($190)

You won't have to give up comfort when you replace your summer Birkenstocks with these fall-ready slip-on mules.

Summer rom-coms are so back! A24 confirmed on March 4 that Celine Song's Materialists, starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal, is coming to theaters this June and I cannot contain my excitement. The new movie follows a matchmaker (Dakota) who finds herself torn between two romantic prospects. If that's too dramatic for you, girl, I'd be happy to take your place.

Here's the latest update on Materialists starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal.

Is Materialists out yet?

Materialists will premiere in theaters June 13, 2025. After Past Lives became THE summer movie in 2023 (and absolutely wrecked my roommates), I know Materialists is going to be the perfect June watch.

What is the plot of Materialists?

The movie follows Dakota Johnson's character, a matchmaker in New York City who falls for the perfect man, but can't seem to let go of her ex. Given the fact the first poster for the movie includes "save the date" and looks like a wedding cake, I'm wondering if we'll see all three characters cross paths at a wedding...

What has the cast said about the movie?

When I asked Dakota Johnson about working with Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans, she teased how much she enjoyed working with them. "They're both big idiots and I love them," she told Brit + Co exclusively at her Daddio premiere.

Where was Materialists filmed?

Materialists was filmed around New York City, which means the movie's going to have so much life and energy in every single shot. Plus Dakota's sundresses are totally giving Brooklyn gal — and I'm dreaming of prancing around the city in a dress as soon as the weather warms up!

Are you as excited for Materialists as I am? Let us know your favorite rom-coms in the comments and check out the latest news on Madelyn Cline's new romance movie for more!

The right accessory won't just elevate an outfit – it will also make your getup, well, uniquely yours. That's why collecting certain must-have pieces is the key to expressing your personality and completing your everyday looks! From shoes to scarves and watches to sunglasses, your 'fits just aren't the same without a little spice.

Whether you're on the go to the office, grabbing drinks with friends, or dressing up for a special occasion, here are 8 timeless accessories that every woman needs in her closet.

1. Scarves & Bandanas

Anthropologie

Vismaya x Anthropologie Stamp Icon Scarf

From wearing them on your head to wrapping them around your neck, scarves and bandanas are statement pieces that can transform your whole appearance! Plus, they're super easy to wear.

A silky scarf can add an instant touch of refinement and luxury while retro or bohemian-inspired bandanas can bring a fun, bold twist to your personal style.

Collect a few neutral pieces, as well as patterned, colorful ones, to have options for every outfit!

2. Waist Belts

Gap

Gap Vegan Leather Wide Belt

Waist belts are the ultimate accessories for shaping your figure. It not only defines your waist to create a flattering silhouette, but also turns loose-fitting pieces into something that can be chic and trendy.

Since they're so versatile, waist belts can be styled in an endless amount of ways. Use them to add a pop of contrast over a dress or to cinch an oversized blazer at work.

3. Loafers

Quince

Quince Italian Leather Lug Sole Loafers

If you've been searching for footwear that's comfortable and cute at the same time, loafers are your answer! They help add a polished touch to any outfit while still maintaining a laid-back vibe.

You can rock them with a white button-down and blue jeans for a business-casual look or pair them with a skirt and blouse to dress up without suffering in heels all night long.

4. Mini Purses

Baggu

Baggu Small Recycled Leather Crescent Bag

Let's be real: do you really need every little thing that's floating around in your massive purse right now?! From old gum packs to multiple tubes of chapstick, it's sometimes a bit too much.

If you opt to embrace the mini purse trend, you can leave all that extra baggage at home. They may be tiny, but they make a bold statement and are sure to become conversation-starters, especially when they feature bright colors or patterns.

Just take only what you absolutely need out of the house and enjoy feeling a bit lighter without all the clutter from purses past.

5. Classic Watches

Nordstrom

Breda Jane 'Tethered' Mesh Strap Watch

One of the most timeless accessories that can instantly elevate any outfit is a classic watch. Regardless of whether you're a gold girlie or a silver girlie, find a watch that matches your typical bracelet stack and wear it with all of your looks.

Throwing on this seemingly subtle accent piece couldn't be easier – yet it will pull together any aesthetic.

6. Stylish Sunglasses

Urban Outfitters

Urban Outfitters Essential Oval Sunglasses

Of course, sunglasses are practical tools that help protect our eyes from harmful rays. But more than that, they're critical fashion accessories that enhance your style.

It doesn't matter if you love classic aviators or bolder styles, like cat-eyes. There are sunglasses out there that complement every face shape and vibe!

7. Layered Necklaces

J.Crew Factory

J.Crew Factory Three-Layer Necklace

Want to add more depth and personality to your look? You can never go wrong with layered necklaces. By experimenting with different lengths and styles, you can completely customize your vibe every single day.

Don't be afraid to mix metals, textures, and even charms to infuse your outfit with interest in a playful yet chic way.

8. Go-To Hats

Nordstrom

Favorite Daughter Classic Logo Cotton Twill Baseball Cap

Lastly, a go-to hat is the perfect way to (literally) top off your outfit with a finishing touch that reflects your personal style.

If you live in a warmer climate, you may opt for a sun hat or signature baseball cap that's a neutral, versatile color. Or, in the chillier months, find a beanie that's cozy and cool to enhance your winter wardrobe.

Whatever the season or occasion, a go-to hat can truly complete a look.
