The Latest Boot Trend Is Actually Comfortable 

When every brand from Saint Laurent and Gucci to Zara and Topshop is endorsing a trend, it’s time to put aside your biases and get on board. That’s exactly how we feel about the resurgence of platform boots, something we honestly didn’t see coming but are willing to get behind—and not just because they’re comfortable. While hunting for the perfect fall ankle boots recently, we realized that many of our favorite brands have made them look fresh and forward again with updated styles, textures, and silhouettes. (Not to mention the whole Vetements phenomenon.) So in short, while you may not want to dust off your old pair, you may be interested in some of the new styles for this year.

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2020, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch 90 Day Fiancé.
