Riding Boots Are the Comfy, Polished Shoes You’ll Wear All Winter—H&M’s Chic Equestrian Style Is Under $65

Knee-High Boots

Trends may come and go, but there are always those fashion staples that, regardless of the current silhouette or style du jour, maintain classic status. To name just a few: a little black dress, dark-wash straight-leg jeans, a faux fur coat, and black knee-high equestrian boots. Admittedly, the latter has been overshadowed in recent years by the popularity of pointed-toe kitten-heel designs. However, this season riding boots are more relevant than ever.

Spotted adorning the feet of models across the fall/winter 2026 runways at the likes of Jacquemus, Dolce & Gabbana, and Ralph Lauren, the equestrian boot is distinct in its minimalism. Think clean lines and a streamlined silhouette with either a flat sole or a low block heel. Styles are often pull-on in design (or appear to be, with hidden side zips) and feature thin straps or simple buckle detailing, if anything at all—certainly nothing chunky or any heavy hardware. As for color palettes, it’s almost exclusively neutral and seasonal hues of timeless black, warm browns and jewel-toned burgundy.

Pairing well with dresses and skirts (especially for those fall boho outfits) by providing a contrasting element against the overt femininity, trouser options are a little more limited to slim jeans or leggings, should you want to really lean into the heritage aesthetic. Whichever way you choose to style your equestrian boots, the result is guaranteed to look sleek and polished.

Should you be in the market for a new pair but not want to break the bank, allow us to put H&M’s knee-high boots on your radar.
