An Ode To Tan Moto Boots (More Vintage Than Edgy)

Remember these camel Jeffrey Campbell Kira Harness Boots from my Badass Biker Boots Round-up that I couldn’t stop talking about?  Yup. I bought them.

And..surprise, surprise, I am LOVING THEM. 

My worries about buying a pair of moto boots that aren’t black instantly dissolved the moment I put them on. These camel-colored moto boots fit so effortlessly into my wardrobe in ways that I don’t think a pair of black moto boots could. The earthy, natural leather color adds that retro-vintage vibe that is just everything.

Vintage Vibes with an Edge: Tan Moto Boots

It was love at first sight when I stumbled upon Free People’s Kira Harness boots and I had high hopes for them (the harness detail makes them a more (subtly) badass version of Frye’s Campus Boots that I’ve been coveting for so long) and, let’s just say they did not disappoint.

Not only do I think they make the perfect pair of boots to transition from fall to winter, but I’ve already been wearing mine since mid-August with cute dresses like Reformation’s Tropez denim mini dress.

Right now, I love pairing my camel boots with dresses of all hem lengths, but there’s something very Cool Girl about these boots when paired with Reformation’s Tropez Sleeveless mini dress. It’s my new favorite outfit combination. As temps cool, I’ll add a thicker pair of tights and switch to wide-leg jeans or pants with cozy sweaters. The neutral tan or camel color boot acts as a versatile base that complements a fall color palette I love so much.

I ordered a size up in this Reformation dress because it looked short on the model, but I found the size 8 to be a bit too loose so a 6 might have been the best for me, size-wise. Otherwise, this dress is an absolute keeper for me (I mean, just look at those oversized retro-inspired gold buttons). Plus, it’s made from 80% cotton and 20% recycled cotton.

These engineer-inspired moto boots are comfortable and super easy to walk in. They feature a metal harness detail, a chunky block-sole heel and classic leather uppers. Tan and camel leather boots are durable and easy to care for, often improving with age, developing a unique patina that adds character. This durability means they stay looking great longer with minimal upkeep, making them a reliable wardrobe staple.

As for sizing, I am so glad that I ordered half a size up from my usual 7.5, especially for a pair of tall boots, to accommodate for the shaft width for my wider calves, and they fit perfectly.

If you like the vibe of my boots but looking for something a ‘lil different, check out Frye’s Jean Harness Boots that are a super similar suede option and Matisse’s James Moto Boots available at Anthropologie.
