It seems like everywhere I look (and scroll), riding boots are the number one outfit staple that people are wearing. Whether they’re worn stylishly with mini dresses or more casually with jeans, they’re the perfect versatile piece for when fall comes around. Of course, there are the ever-popular Frye Campus Boots, but I simply cannot shell out nearly $500 for a single pair. Luckily, there are so many similar styles on the market, and these 6 riding, western, and tall boots are my absolute favorite ones. They range in color, style, and price, so you can definitely find a pair that works for you and your wardrobe. Shop ‘em below!

These are basically Frye boot lookalikes. The light banana leather helps ease the transition between summer and fall, so now's the perfect time to pick 'em up. The block heel gives you a nice boost, too! This style is also shoppable in ivory, bright red, and olive green for $328.

By Anthropologie Maddox Wide-Leg Kitten-Heel Tall Boots
If you want to go for something a bit sleeker this season, these By Anthropologie boots hit the mark. Featuring a sharp pointed toe and a subtle kitten heel, they bring an elevated feel to any outfit. The wide-leg silhouette makes them super easy to pull on and pair with denim or a midi dress, while the leather upper and sturdy rubber sole keep them still comfy for all-day wear.

For a more elevated look, these sleek black vegan leather boots quickly do the trick. They don't have any extra bells or whistles, so they'll fit seamlessly into whatever outfits you put together. The rounded tops hit just below the knee, so they'd work really well with a flirty mini skirt or dress. The lower heel height provides ample comfort for walking anywhere. These adorable boots currently go for just $109.
