Tracee Ellis Ross’ Shoe Style

Tracee Ellis Ross’s style is chic, glamorous and adventurous. She takes cues (and sometimes literal items) from her equally iconic mother, Diana Ross. The “Black-ish” actor is a fan of classic designer stilettos, often choosing pumps and slingbacks from Christian Louboutin, Giuseppe Zanotti and Jimmy Choo.

Moto Boots

Moto or biker boots are made of leather and take their edgy style inspiration from the sturdy footwear worn by actual bikers. They may feature durable lug soles, buckle or harness detailing, a round or square toe, and often hit at calf height. Frye has been making popular moto boots in America since the 1970s, dating back to their Harness Boot, which is inspired by Civil War Calvary. Along with moto jackets and sporty wraparound sunglasses, moto boots have come back into trend in recent years.
