3. Ankle boots

A staple item worth investing in if there ever was one. Flat ankle boots are a must have all year round but especially in autumn. With jeans, leggings, a dress or a skirt a good pair of ankle boots are important. These from Stradvarius look super similar to Doc Martens for half the price a great buy for the colder months.
