Winter weather can leave you feeling a little stumped about what to wear. Footwear-wise, boots can always be relied on to deliver both style and practicality – plus, the outfit possibilities are almost endless.
Knee-high boots are especially versatile: they look good worn with jeans or tailored trousers, with a maxi, midi or miniskirt, or a dress for day or night. The best styles hit just below the knee, with enough room around the calf for them to sit comfortably (unless you’re inclined to wear a skin-tight sock-boot).
To maximise wear, avoid knee-highs with towering heels and make sure to always try new pairs on before leaving the house, in case you need to break them in. Pointed-toe boots can look great, but be wary of the way that they fit on your foot and if they pinch your toes – sizing up sometimes isn’t a bad idea. Scroll on for a guide to some of the best styles available now, and outfits to inspire your winter wardrobe.
