I tried the viral boots at the beach trend that’s all over TikTok and Instagram. Here’s my honest experience, how I styled it, and whether I’d do it again.
I’ll be honest — when I first saw the boots at the beach trend, I thought it was pure madness. Boots? On sand? In the middle of summer? But my curiosity (and love for good fashion drama) got the better of me. So last weekend, I grabbed my favorite tan suede boots, a flowy white dress, and headed straight for the shoreline.
Why I Tried It
Part of me wanted to see if it was just a TikTok gimmick or if it actually looked as good in real life as it did on my feed. Also, I’ve always been a “boots girl” — I wear them in the city, at concerts, and on nights out. Why not the beach?
How I Styled My Look
I went for:
A white cotton maxi dress (light, airy, and beach-friendly)
Tan suede ankle boots with a low heel
A wide-brim straw hat and oversized sunglasses
The boots instantly gave my outfit a “Western chic” vibe, and I could see why influencers were obsessed.
The Reactions I Got
Within minutes, people started looking — some with admiration, some with pure confusion. A few even asked for photos because “they’d never seen boots at the beach before.” My friends couldn’t stop laughing, but even they admitted it looked kind of… amazing.
The Reality Check
Here’s the truth:
Sand will get inside your boots.
Your feet will get warmer than usual.
Walking in soft sand is trickier.
But none of that mattered when I saw the photos. The boots made every shot look editorial, like I was shooting a magazine spread.
Would I Do It Again?
Yes — but only for the look, not for comfort. The boots at the beach trend is more about making a statement than practicality. If you’re going for unique Instagram photos or want to turn heads, this is the way to do it.
My Tip: If you try it, choose lighter, breathable boots and pair them with something flowy and summer-friendly.
