Now that the temperature has finally dropped, it's time to bust out everyone's fall favorite: Black ankle boots. But where to start? A structured combat boot? A feminine lace-up ankle boot? What about just a regular black lace-up boot, but with a little extra sparkle?

The good news is, Schutz has it all. If you're asking yourself which pair of boots is the right one for you this season, you're definitely in the right place.

We took a look at five pairs of black ankle boots and how they each differ slightly - think minimalist chic vs. maximal style - to help you determine which one makes the most sense for you this fall.

Whether you style them with a leather jacket, tights and a mini or skinny jeans and an oversized sweater, these boots are most certainly made for walkin'.

Scroll on for five can't-miss pairs of black lace-up boots for fall.

The combination of chunky lug-sole elements with feminine flourishes, makes Schutz's Orly leather booties a softer take on the classic combat.

Sleek, chic, and understated, the Harriet is basically the Platonic ideal of easygoing lace-up bootie.

Let the smooth leather, ribbon-inspired laces, and block heel of the Kaile instantly elevate your fall wardrobe.

These are a truly wear-everywhere pair. With its rounded toe and minimalist design, this understated silhouette easily replaces your everyday sneakers.

 

The Andrea features shimmering studs and a just-high-enough heel, making this rocker chic pair perfect for those who like to infuse classic looks with a daring edge.
