The knee high boot is well and truly back for the new season, and they're far more versatile, comfortable and flattering than you might think. Whether you team them with midi skirts or a jumper dress, your autumn/wardrobe is crying out for a pair.
When it comes to shopping for knee high boots, there are a few key things to consider. You can opt for an easy-to-walk-in sturdy heel with a round toe, so they're just the right side of comfortable but chic enough to add a slick of retro polish to any look. Or, try a square toe. It's made a comeback in recent years and we think it's very chic. Then there's the ultra-sleek heels with stylish pointed toes that instantly elevate wide-leg trousers and denim.
You've also got to consider colours, and what style will work seamlessly with your capsule wardrobe. Black, tan, cream and on-trend silver (yes, you read that correctly) are the colours to invest in right now – and there are plenty of brilliant styles on offer this season, including high street heroes and designer classics.
Wondering how to wear your new knee high boots for autumn/winter? You can style them under trousers (or tucked in), under midis or even with a pair of tailored culottes for the office. Remember, knee high boots are also great for keeping printed midi dresses and skirts working even as temperatures drop. A solid investment, indeed.
