Goodbye Wellies - This Is The Summer Boots Trend You'll Actually Want To Wear
We leave the house in the morning to sun shining in our eyes, hop off the train and it's raining (yes, we forgot our umbrella, as usual) and as we head to lunch we're sweating, while dodging puddles. Make it make sense. With all seasons in one day lately, navigating what to actually wear has become a full time job in itself. And while we're only a few weeks into official summer, there's no way we'll be letting a spot of rain – or a downpour – mess with our warm-weather outfits we've been looking forward to wearing since the start of the year. You know, the cotton boho blouses, polka dot dresses or culotte shorts we can't stop seeing all over our Insta feeds. The good news is, we don't have to retire our summer looks early – even with some rainy days on the cards – and it's all thanks to the fashion insiders confirming it's boots season already. Practicing 'the wrong shoe theory' TikTok trend (basically, when you pair an unlikely shoe with your outfit – think heels with sporty shorts) boots with summer looks are the latest pairing being worn by so many stylish women, and it just so happens to be the answer to what to wear when it's hot, but rainy. With one boot style proving to be the most popular (read: practical) right now, we want to show you how flat knee-high boots are going to be the saviour to styling your summer wares, even when the weather isn't delivering the summer vibes. Sofia Boman tries out the sheer blouse trend with an A-line cargo skirt, and we love the high/low look of this combo. While it could easily be styled with mesh ballet flats or a red flip flop, adding the Western style knee-high boot gives it a whole new unexpected feel. Plus, you won't be getting your legs wet if the heavens open. Acne Studios, Burberry and Bottega Veneta all put '90s grunge plaid back on the runways for spring/summer 2025, and content creator Trishna Goklani has shown a wearable way to style it. No doubt you'll want to copy and paste this outfit formula, so simply add a white vest to a floaty checked skirt, belt at the waist and finish a pair of flat knee-high boots (psst, Trishna told us these are a very good vintage Prada find on Vinted). A 'just in case' jumper around your shoulders is also a wise idea in case temperatures drop throughout the day, too. Polo tops, jumpers and dresses have been key for a while now, and we appreciate how fashion influencer Amaka Hamelijnck has given her grey polo dress an in-betweeny weather spin by adding a trench coat, summer sunnies and yes, you guessed it, a pair of flat knee high boots. Because while we'll always appreciate a heeled iteration, we'll be opting for the more functional flats so we're not slipping around during summer showers. Those striped linen shorts you bought at the start of summer and have been saving for holiday, don't. Instead, make like Chloe Butler and weather-proof them by adding a pair of riding boots (a key style for the upcoming autumn/winter season) along with a lightweight knit that you could also tie round your waist. Add this year's standout accessory everyone is wearing – the bandana– and you get a cool country girl look we'll be relying on heavily from here on out. Fashion insider and athlete Marilyn Nwawulor-Kazemaks is one to follow for everyday outfit inspo that'll make you want to up your game. Here, she's influenced us all into wanting to try out a pleated skirt (again, part of that '90s grunge revival we're seeing) and we'll be doing so by swapping our usual fitted T-shirt for a baggy style and completing the ensemble with chunky knee-high boots. Ready to try adding knee-high flat boots to all your favourite summer outfits? While some sites – including Cos, Zara and Mango – still don't have new season styles online, yet, we've found the brands that are getting ahead with these fresh pairs coming in from the likes of Arket and Reformation. Along with a completely waterproof style by Moncler and the Ganni boots that we're sure will be viral within a matter of weeks. You. Are. Welcome. 1. Arket, Leather Riding Boots The thick tread rubber sole on this Arket pair is perfect for unpredictable weather days. Invest in a good leather protector and these glossy riding boots will see you through so many seasons. 2. Reformation, Francesca Moto Boots Buckled boots were big news last year, and they're sticking around for autumn/winter 2025/26. Reformation's Francesca iteration may have a slight heel, but the chunky sole and loose-fit around the leg will still keep them super comfy. 3. Asos, Wide Fit Celeste Flat Western Knee High Boots Price: $55 According to Asos, there's been a 178% rise in search for all things #cowboycore (including Western boots) this month. Whether you wear them to a festival or for a rainy day with a cotton dress and jacket, you'll end up styling them so many ways. 4. Ganni, Studs Knee-High Boots Fresh in from Ganni, we have no doubt these will be the boots every fashion insider will be wearing from now, through to next season. Add to a Broderie anglaise mini skirt and vest look for summer and with an oversized trench and denim shorts come autumn. 5. Massimo Dutti, Leather Riding Boots How chic are these? Love the glossy finish and the gold detailing – riding boots will elevate even the simplest of outfits this summer, and we're so here for it. We predict these will sell fast (like all key Massimo buys) so be quick to get them. 6. Khaite, Sybil Glossed Leather Knee High Boots Khaite boots will always be an investment, but when opting for a black pair of knee-high boots you can guarantee you'll get the wear out of them – way beyond the season, and even year you buy them in. Again, make sure to protect these with a good leather spray but this timeless pair will serve you well. 7. & Other Stories, Biker Boots If knee-high boots aren't for you, you'll want to embrace the new cropped pairs coming through. This brown leather style with silver hardware & Other Stories is also a very chic alternative to classic black. 8. Moncler, Kickstream High Rain Boots If you want to bring out the big guns and be fully prepared for all forecasts, a knee-high rain boot is the answer. This Moncler style made from a waterproof material also has a drawstring lining so no water will be getting down to your socks!

Our Travel Editors' picks of underrated destinations in the easyJet summer 2026
EasyJet has launched its big summer 2026 sale, and the team at Metro Travel is here to help you get the most bang for your buck. From sun-soaked beaches to ancient Old Towns, there are destinations to suit every kind of traveller. And, for a limited time, you can lock in your next holiday by paying a £60 deposit. Check out our editors' picks of the best and most underrated places on the list. Fuel your wanderlust with our curated newsletter of travel deals, guides and inspiration. Sign up here. For a city break with a difference, Metro's Travel Editor Alice Murphy recommends heading to Belfast. An industrial port with a troubled past, Northern Ireland's capital has pulled off a remarkable transformation into a creative party town. 'There's nowhere better for a night out on the island of Ireland, if you ask me,' says Alice. 'It's been wonderful to watch the creative scene here rise like a Phoenix from the ashes of the Troubles.' Alice says a day is best spent learning the history of Ireland's north on a black cab tour ('the guides are always great craic'), followed by dinner at the Muddler's Club or the Lantern, and a pint at Madden's, the best spot for a proper seisiún (traditional Irish music session). You might even run into the lads from Kneecap, they're regulars. Convinced? Metro found a flight from London Stansted to Belfast on Wednesday, July 1, for £29.99. If you're still looking for a sunny escape, for Alice, it's all about Sardinia. Though it often plays second fiddle to glitzier Sicily, she says this Italian island is home to the most beautiful beaches in Italy. To get the best of Sardinia, Alice advises flying into Olbia, renting a car and taking to the road to explore the extraordinary beauty of the Costa Smerelda (Emerald Coast). 'Every beach is more beautiful than the last: think lunar white sands and dazzling turquoise water,' she says. Alice's advice is to skirt the main cities, as the most breathtaking bits of Sardinia are found in the villages that hug the coast: 'The showstopper for me was Cala Goloritzè and Cala Luna (a quick Insta or Google search will tell you why).' Metro found a week's holiday at the four-star Mangia's Sardinia Resort for £785, down from £1,055 per person, if you travel on Wednesday, June 3, 2026. Alice's third and final choice is Corsica, where you can fly to from as little as £72 one-way. She says she was pleasantly surprised to see the French-governed island on the EasyJet roundup. 'Getting to Corsica, which is often referred to as 'France's best kept secret', is usually wildly expensive. So if I were you, I'd seize the moment. I can't recall seeing one-way trips for such a low price before,' says Alice. Moving west, Amanda Cable, Metro's Deputy Features Editor, loves Spanish city Valencia for a city break. She says: 'Refresh with a dive into the sea, before a delicious tapas lunch and a stroll around the Old Town to find some lovely bargains.' If you're looking for a city filled with character, bars and food, nestled on the coastline, Amanda says Valencia is as good as Barcelona, without the crowds. 'We checked into the Novotel Valencia, which has a rooftop pool for luxury at a wallet-friendly price.' On Tuesday, September 1, Metro found a flight from London Gatwick for £67.99. If you're looking for somewhere to while away the days with a good book, Amanda suggests Lake Maggiore in Italy. While Lake Como takes all the glory, she says its lesser-known sibling feels like you're stepping back in time. 'The pretty town of Stresa is a fantastic foodie base, while water taxis whisk you to the stunning islands.' Amanda's favourite was Isola dei Pescatori (Island of the Fishermen). If you feel like exploring further, you can even take a train across the mountains into Switzerland and catch a local ferry back. We've got a handy guide to Ascona, an under-the-radar Swiss border town. Back at base, if your hotel has a swimming pool, make sure to take a dip against the backdrop of towering peaks. Unlike the other package holidays, Lake Maggiore is a little on the pricey end. But, if you have the funds, it's a must-visit. Metro found a five-night stay at the five-star Castello Dal Pozzo for £1,110 per person. The flight leaves from Manchester Airport on Monday, June 1, 2026. Kristina Beanland, Metro's Lifestyle Editor, has a soft spot for Portugal's Algarve, having spent summers there as a child. While it's far from a 'hidden gem', there are a few spots that haven't been spoiled yet. 'Head to the fishing town of Ferragudo, with its quaint harbour and cobbled streets, or hop on a river cruise to Silves, which once served as the capital of the Algarve,' she says. Kristina says you should visit the Monchique mountains and the famous spa village of Caldas, known for its thermal waters. If this sounds like a bit of you, the four-star Hotel PortoBay Falesia has a week-long holiday available from Bristol Airport on Tuesday, June 30, 2026, for £885 per person. More of a city breaker? Kristina says you can't go wrong with a trip to Amsterdam in the Netherlands. However, it can be expensive to get there – and with Eurostar yet to release tickets for summer 2026, it makes sense to snap up an Easyjet bargain now. 'If it's culture you're after, there are museums a-plenty from the Rijksmuseum to the, erm, Sex Museum,' says Kristina. Peckish for lunch? Grab a sandwich at Zero Zero or indulge in three courses at the impossibly cool CornerStore. 'And of course, there's always plenty of places to grab a 'coffee.' Fly to the Dutch capital on Wednesday, August 5, 2026, from London Southend for £41.99. The 2026 summer sale launched at 9am this morning. You can now book cheap flights between June 15, 2026, and September 13, 2026. Other destinations on the list include hotspots like Amsterdam and Ibiza. For package holidays, the dates extend a little further until October 31, 2026. Destinations include European favourites like Greece, Turkey, and Spain, where holidaymakers can guarantee a good old dose of vitamin D (and sea). If you can't afford to pay for your holiday in full straight away, there's an option to pay in fee-free instalments up to 28 days before departure. The initial £60 per person deposit locks in the price. When browsing for holidays, also look out for other discounts in the package prices. Some include child-free places, where one child can fly and stay for free when travelling with two paying adults. Still not booked your 2025 summer holiday? There's still time to get a good deal this year, too. EasyJet offers promo codes on beach and city holidays. For the former, you can get £100 off when you spend £800–£1,999 using the code SUMMER. If you spend over £2,000, you'll receive a £200 discount with the same code. For city breaks, the code CITY20 gives you £20 off per person. EasyJet uses dynamic pricing, which means prices fluctuate based on demand. More Trending For example, booking a holiday during peak times (or to a popular destination) might incur higher charges than somewhere off the beaten path. Other things to look out for are booking fees. If you're travelling with your family and want to sit together, the most obvious extra cost is seat selection. Additionally, if you don't factor in checked baggage fees from the start, you may end up paying more if you add them later. Finally, if you need to change your flight or booking, charges will be incurred. Before confirming your booking, double-check your dates. Should you need to cancel completely, cancellation policies vary depending on the holiday you book.
