While the season's hottest hue might be purple, gray is coming in a very close second, and with good reason. It's neutral enough to go with practically everything, it can go casual or dressy, and in the right shade, it can work with any skin tone.

These Mossimo Kiley Boots, $29.99 at Target, are a great way to be on trend without busting your budget. They'd be fabulous with skinny black pants or leggings, dark jeans, or with tights and a sexy little dress.

And, we're digging the retro vibe these have -- they're a little Eighties without being over the top, so you can play it up with bangles and some crimped hair, or go more modern. Both ways, these boots are hot.
