New Style Idea

Amber Heard’s making a case for the combat boot, one of this season’s trendiest shoe styles.

Heard was spotted stocking up on groceries in Los Feliz, Calif. yesterday, and her outfit offered a lesson in layering.

The “Aquaman” actress wore a black T-shirt and a black-and-white, button-front gingham midi skirt. She tucked her top in at the waist and sported a brown Isabel Marant belt, layering a long beige coat over the look.

While grocery store stock-ups will still be in order through the coming weeks, Los Angeles-based Heard will be unable to visit restaurants, bars or gyms, as mayor Eric Garcetti has ordered those places of business to close through March 31 amid the coronavirus outbreak.

A favorite of “it” girls like Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner and Kaia Gerber, the combat boot offers a utilitarian twist to any outfit — and is set to remain “in” through the remainder of 2020, coming in clunkier, more post-apocalyptic fashion. It can also be dressed up or down — perfect for pairing with everything from a romantic dress to jeans and a T-shirt.

If you’re into the combat boot trend, consider buying one of the more streamlined silhouettes below. All have a similar feel to Heard’s footwear and won’t break the bank, with prices starting at just $44.
