Snakeskin isn't anything new in fashion, but it makes its way in and out of the top spot in the fashion cycle. Widely-loved label Khaite has taken the lead in incorporating the print in clothing and accessories, so I wasn't surprised to see it in multiple collections for the season ahead.

While waders were highly seen on the runways, so was the opposing style—second-skin boots. Think of them as a sleek replacement for leggings, as they were often seen styled under dresses or skirts.

Currently, there's a ton of red on the market, and the fiery color is coming for boots next. If you want to add a pop of color to your fall wardrobe, this is the shade to pick.

If you're always willing to try out the most trend-forward pieces, metallic boots are for you. They made a huge statement at Jil Sander and Missoni and are an easy way to add a "wow" factor to any outfit.

When I first saw this on the runway, I knew it might be a bit more niche, but if you're willing to take risks, why not? Extra-tall boots made a comeback this season, but the wide-leg feature of waders was the one that stood out. Fishing gear being fashionable was not on my 2022 bingo card.
