Boots, loafers and sneakers FW26 Women Men

Boots are among the season's most interesting purchases, especially when the silhouette takes center stage. The Fall/Winter 2026/27 runways bring attention back to tall shafts, tapered toes, and volumes that follow or envelop the leg. Alongside more classic interpretations, glossy surfaces, textured finishes, and Western-inspired details find their place. For those looking for a long-lasting investment, the black leather tall boot with strap and buckle by Tod's is a versatile choice, ideal with trousers tucked into the shaft, midi skirts, and knit dresses. More refined are the tall leather and suede boots with gold-tone hardware by Dolce & Gabbana, while the Robin Passeggiata boots in black leather by The Attico interpret a bolder elegance. Those seeking a fashion-forward shoe can opt for the grey Leon slouchy-effect boots in cracked leather by The Attico, characterized by an elongated toe and sculptural heel, or the tall burgundy vinyl boots by Courrèges, perfect for adding depth to a monochromatic look and complementing evening dresses and minimalist skirts. For everyday wear, the brown suede of the tall brown leather boots by Guglielmo Rotta offers a warm and sophisticated alternative, while the Ultra Tall brown shearling boots by UGG prioritize comfort and protection on colder days. For a more urban and functional touch, the Kickstream Quilt Rain Boots by Moncler, in beige quilted rubber, and the Milano boots by Zolfo complete the landscape with a different approach to practicality.

The search for personality also focuses on ankle boots, capable of changing the proportions and atmosphere of an outfit without requiring particular construction. The western reference continues to be an interesting choice: the Duerto Texan ankle boots in black suede by Isabel Marant, with a tapered toe and Cuban heel, pair naturally with denim, long skirts and flowing dresses. For those who prefer a more recognizable stylistic signature, the Tabi ankle boots in taupe suede by Maison Margiela reinterpret an icon of the house through the unmistakable split toe and the 8 cm cylindrical heel. The particular surfaces instead become the strong point of the Ganni ankle boots with studs and faux fur and the Icon Low Fur animalier leopard print by Moon Boot, ideal for more informal and original winter looks. For a city wardrobe, the brown Umo ankle boots in suede by Tod's combine a sock-inspired construction with a sporty sole; the Hogan in brown suede with elastic at the ankle are instead a practical solution to accompany cropped trousers and denim. Completes the selection the Judy model in black leather by Ash, suitable for those looking for an ankle boot with a heel to alternate between daily commitments and evening occasions.

Among the women's shoes for Autumn/Winter 2026/27, the loafer confirms its role as an elegant alternative to sneakers and heeled shoes. The most current interpretations play with deep tones, suede, glossy leathers and metallic details. Burgundy, in particular, adds a refined chromatic note to the wardrobe: the Tod's burgundy patent leather loafers with gold hardware are an interesting choice for the office, to be paired with tailored trousers, midi skirts and sheer socks. For a more relaxed aesthetic, the camel suede loafers by Tory Burch fit easily into everyday outfits, while the green leather loafers with beige rope laces by Golden Goose introduce a less conventional chromatic variation. Textures take center stage in the brown croc-effect suede loafers by Divine Follie, while the hazelnut brown padded slip-ons by UGG prioritize softness and comfort. A more casual proposal is represented by the burgundy platform boat shoes by Timberland, to be styled with denim, wide-leg trousers and oversized knitwear. The result is a wardrobe that embraces the college look and makes it more personal, alternating between rigor and ease.

Sneakers do not abandon their everyday vocation, but in the FW26 season they acquire a more decorative dimension. Editorial trends highlight an interest in unique surfaces, prints and luminous details: comfort no longer excludes a refined component. Among the options to consider are the Portofino in brown suede with the DG logo by Dolce & Gabbana, perfect for pairing with denim and loose trousers, and the Stardan in leather with burgundy glitter details by Golden Goose, ideal for adding light to an essential outfit. For those who love precious details, the black sneakers with black rhinestones by Golden Goose offer a discreet but distinctive alternative. Animal prints represent another possibility to give character to everyday looks: the Medalist in spotted leather by Autry revisits the eighties tennis inspiration, while the Racer 77 in zebra pony hair and ivory by Pro-Keds 1949 bets on a bolder contrast. For a minimal and easily recognizable aesthetic, the white Oversize by Alexander McQueen remain a versatile option, while the Hogan sneakers in camel brown suede with fur lining lend themselves to the cold season. Completing the selection are the black cotton sneakers with the heart by Comme des Garçons Play, with a graphic and informal character, and the Panenka by Veja, which reinterpret the football language in an urban key.

To complete the winter menswear wardrobe, ankle boots and combat boots offer a practical alternative to sneakers and loafers, especially when more structure and protection are desired. The Chelsea style remains one of the most versatile: Tod's brown leather ankle boots pair easily with tailored trousers, denim and coats, suiting both professional commitments and casual occasions. For an outdoor-inspired look, Moncler's Trailgrip Wallabee GTX suede ankle boots combine the classic Wallabee shape with a technical edge, while Red Wing's chocolate Classic Moc Toe combat boots offer a robust heritage aesthetic that works particularly well with denim and structured outerwear. Woolrich's black leather elasticated ankle boots provide a more understated option for the city. To tackle colder days, dark brown Timberland ankle boots with padded ankles offer a casual, functional look, while Dr. Martens 2976 ankle boots in brown leather add a bolder touch to everyday outfits. The choice depends mainly on how they will be worn: Chelsea boots and minimalist styles for urban elegance, combat boots and more robust designs for a look with a strong character.

In the men's wardrobe, the loafer is one of the most effective shoes for creating an effortless elegance. The season particularly highlights shades of brown, from tan to chocolate, and leather craftsmanship that showcases the quality of the material. The Opal loafers in brown leather by Sebago represent an interesting choice for those looking for a style to alternate between casual outfits and more polished looks. More contemporary are the Cruise loafers in brown leather by Golden Goose, to be worn with wide-leg trousers and knitwear with clean lines. For those who prefer an understated aesthetic, the black loafer in matte leather by MM6 Maison Margiela offers a more minimalist look, while the classic Penny Loafer Dan in leather by Sebago is a style investment suitable for both the office and leisure time. With an unstructured suit, tailored trousers, or dark denim, the loafer allows you to maintain a polished image without the formality of a lace-up shoe.

Luxury men's sneakers continue to be a staple of the wardrobe, but the choice is increasingly leaning towards models capable of standing out through materials, construction, and stylistic references. Sport-inspired silhouettes coexist with more sophisticated interpretations, suitable even for smart casual looks. The white leather and fabric Traveler by Maison Margiela offer a versatile solution to pair with denim and cotton trousers; the black leather Greca with white heel tab by Versace introduce a more recognizable graphic touch instead. For those who love vintage aesthetics, the brown leather Super-Star by Golden Goose and the brown Faster by Dsquared2 are interesting alternatives to pair with denim and casual outerwear. More refined are the black suede Court by Casablanca, ideal for those who want a sneaker with a sporty feel but a refined aesthetic. For more dynamic use, the Adios Pro 4 by Y-3 bring the technical language of running to the wardrobe, while the brown Nous by Premiata add a contemporary note to urban outfits. The black leather Portofino with logo by Dolce & Gabbana also confirm the versatility of leather sneakers, easily paired with a refined casual wardrobe.
