Jennifer Lopez dazzles in Fendi and slouchy knee-high boots at the launch of Delola.

Whether they’re rugged lug-soles, chic knee-highs, or stylish ankle-length, boots stand resilient against the seasonal chill, proving their wearability year-round— a claim not many other shoes can make! It’s a given that a fresh boot trend emerges each year around the winter season, and this year, Jennifer Lopez is setting the pace with her slouchy boots, taking a delightful cue from the 2010s style book and igniting a major winter shoe trend.Recently photographed while celebrating the launch of her low-alcohol cocktail brand, Delola, at the renowned Los Angeles club The Abbey (you might recognize it from Vanderpump Rules), J.Lo made a stunning fashion statement. She opted for a coordinated turtleneck and a midi skirt from Fendi’s Spring 2024 collection, adorned with orange, cream, and black “F” Fendi motifs. The focal point of her ensemble, however, was a pair of white slouchy knee-high boots by Paris Texas, and let me tell you, I can’t get them out of my mind.

Keeping the rest of her accessories relatively simple, Lopez allowed the boots to steal the spotlight. Jenny from the block complemented her look with a wine-colored croc-effect clutch from Tom Ford, stylish gold hoop earrings by Jennifer Fisher, and oversized tortoiseshell sunglasses from Otra.Now, let’s address the elephant in the room—slouchy boots. Yes, they may carry the stigma of the less favorable styles from the 2010s, but let’s not allow that to deter us from embracing them in 2024. The roomy, slouchy silhouette brings comfort, especially for those with wider calves, making the process of slipping them on and off far less challenging than their ultra-tight counterparts.Contrary to the bad rap, slouchy boots add a playful texture to an outfit, as evident in Lopez’s ensemble, injecting it with more dimension. Notably, her boots strike the perfect balance between slouchy and structured, ensuring that you exude a polished appearance while embracing the relaxed style. And if you need further affirmation that taller boots are en vogue, just turn to fellow songstress Taylor Swift, who consistently rocks them and demonstrates diverse styling options.
