Boots really come into their own come the winter months, and this season is no different. So far, we’ve seen suede boots and silver shoes gain traction among the fashion set, but they’re not the only style we’ve noticed picking up. Knee-high boots are also having a moment on the streets of London. Scroll through to see our favourite high street options to shop…

Knee-high boots are one of the most versatile items in your shoe-drobe. Team them with short dresses and mini skirts to transition summery pieces into winter heroes, or wear them under maxi skirts and trousers for an extra layer of warmth. If you’re unsure about getting your legs out when the mercury drops, tights are a game-changer.

For a style you can wear all day (AKA boots that are really made for walking), we rate flat boots. Alternatively, if you’re after something a little more elevated, suede knee-highs have you covered, although save them for days when there’s no chance of rain. And for a night out? You can’t go wrong with a heeled pair teamed with a mini. Low kitten heels are all over the high street right now, which is a blessing for those looking to give their feet a mini break without compromising on glam.

Flat boots

Equestrian-style riding boots are the perfect way of adding polish to an otherwise comfortable outfit – look for subtle details like buckles and tonal differences for a designer-esque feel.

Heeled boots

Heeled boots are practically made for wintery nights out. For extra wow-factor, try playing with patent textures, rich burgundy and shocking metallic colourways.

Suede

Suede knee-high boots have a decidedly Western feel to them, and we’re very ok with it. Opt for warm chestnut, khaki, and chocolate tones if you’re looking to move away from black footwear. We particularly like the fringed and split suede styles on offer at Zara reminiscent of Isabel Marant.
