What BBN said about it

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorRiding boots are the fall shoe of the season, E! News says, and fashion is leaning into its inner horse girl.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe trend is being credited to a Princess Diana-inspired countryside outfit and Kendall Jenner's equestrian looks.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo it's a trend with two sources and zero horses.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI'd call it a heritage-forward, stable-adjacent moment. The industry is simply being generous with the word horse.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentWWD's editors say you needn't own a horse, or have any intention of getting near one, to appreciate the look. Appreciate it from where, a hotel lobby?

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI think that's inclusive. Nobody has to muck a stall to wear the leather.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentHermès, Proenza Schouler and Tory Burch all showed them, WWD says, with structured leather and minimal hardware.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorE! lists a Michael Kors pair at one hundred thirty-five dollars and fifteen cents, down from three seventy-five. The fifteen cents is carrying a lot of that sale.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIt's a gallop for everyone.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentVerdict: wear them with the tweed blazer, like Marie Claire says, and you're done.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe boots will be fine. It's the horse that never got a callback.
