I could have a closet full of Frye boots and never have to worry about fall/winter shoes again. I'll never get over the rough, vintage quality that every pair they turn out possesses, and the way that they ground any outfit with that classic equestrian air. Here are three pairs I'm pining for.
These could go with almost anything, equestrian inspired leggings (like these by Derek Lam or these by Rag and Bone), and a chunky sweater or a big draped scarf. The canvas top makes them more laid back and separates them from the all leather masses. Not to mention the softness makes them completely cozy for the winter that awaits.
The almost Victorian quality makes them feel vintage, but the classic Frye shape keeps them from being too costume-y. And there might just be a touch of Doc Martins in the shoe shape that's making me faux-nostalgic (I was probably 10 when Docs were everywhere) for the chunky grunge shoe of yor.

This is the female version of that worn out work boot look that was all over the Sartorialist this past spring, which included casual and business looks incorporating the unconventional choice. The boots were the one kind of "off" piece, a look that could translate wonderfully for women. Add a dark wash skinny jean,a plaid button down, and a tailored vest.
