"Winter, spring, summer or fall, all you have to do is call" is the message from Carole King's song You've Got A Friend, which has now become iconic. For fashion fans who need year-round style inspiration, all we have to do in winter, spring, summer or fall, is look up whatever Emily Ratajkowski is wearing in the moment.
The sartorial icon has once again been spotted on the streets of her hometown NYC, flaunting the ultimate It-girl street style outfit and perfecting this season's saviour footwear: summer boots.

Taking her look up a notch, from casual cool to It-girl coded, she paired the look with some rebellious leather boots complete with buckled straps and a slight block heel.

Stars including Sienna Miller, Sydney Sweeney and Daisy Edgar-Jones have been favouring boots over sandals this season and we're completely obsessed with the look.

"The great thing about a boot is that it can toughen up summer ensembles. Teamed with the hem of the moment - the balloon - a chunky boot counterbalances any surplus sweetness. Let's face it, you can strut in a boot in a way a sandal could never."
So, the moral of the story? Make those subdued summer days a little brighter by pairing your outfit with some It-girl-approved boots.
