Sure, Selena Gomez may have skipped out on the Met Gala, but thankfully for us, that didn’t stop her from serving up some serious style this week. The actress made the city sidewalk her very own personal red carpet when she was spotted filming scenes for the fifth season of her smash-hit show Only Murders in the Building in a luxurious look that proves leather weather isn’t just for the fall season anymore.

On May 7, Gomez channeled the ’70s wearing a super chic cerulean blue leather trench coat worn over a black, belted mini-shirt dress. She added extra layers with a greyish plaid turtleneck top and leggings for a more complete look. Accessory-wise, Gomez wore large gold hoops and leather buckle boots that hit mid-calf.

This spring has felt like a mixed bag of forecasts, with the days starting out bright and sunny, then cold and windy as time progresses. Dressing up for the unpredictable temperatures can be a real chore, but that’s where a layered leather look can save the day. The secret to a layered outfit is to wear shoes, like her calf boots, that can serve as an anchoring point to keep the ensemble from going off the rails as you add or peel away pieces.

The buckle boots Gomez chose to wear are a perfect example of a shoe style that goes the extra mile when it comes to completing a look. Her outfit is perfectly put together, no matter if she chooses to keep the trench coat on or if she goes with just the shirt dress, thanks to the versatility of the boots. If she were to say, wear ballet flats or sneakers with this particular outfit, then the entire ’70s cool girl vibe would’ve been totally thrown off.

When it comes to footwear, there’s just something about a tried and true boot that transcends all seasonal sartorial rules. Just ask Olivia Munn and Viola Davis, who respectively wore theirs in the winter and springtime. The secret to styling boots for any occasion is to make sure that you’re picking out a pair that can be versatile enough to be a standout feature of your outfit or can be a more subtle detail, depending on the occasion.

Shop ahead for boot styles that you can strut out in any season of the year.
