Knee-high boots: the Marie Claire edit
Add a pair of chic knee-high boots into your new-season wardrobe now…
Want to know which boots to invest in for the new-season? We spotted the best knee high boots on the catwalk for AW16 at Versace, Louis Vuitton, Chloé – and many more in between. Off the runway, there are many gorgeous options that will work hard in your wardrobe all winter:
Best daytime knee high boots
For a flat boot that you can nip around in all day, head to Office for a pair of classic riding boots.
Best statement knee high boots
If it’s a statement boot you’re after, check out ASOS, Urban Outfitters and Ted Baker for colour-blocked styles and cool metallic finishes.
Best slouchy knee high boots
If you love tucking skinny jeans into your boots, Zara and Russell & Bromley have the most elegant slouched styles on the highstreet.
Best mid-heel knee high boots
From block heels to midi heights, Dune and Mango have the best knee high boots for the office with heels that are high enough to feel polished and professional, but comfortable enough to run between meetings in.
Best wide-leg knee high boots
Wide-legs boots are super-flattering so, if you’re looking to invest, consider Chloé’s dreamy tie-detail pair.
When it comes to colours, we’ve fallen head over heels for patent boots this season. Not only do they have a cool high-gloss finish, they wipe clean if you’ve found yourself puddle-dodging. Of course, classic tan never goes out of style, while autumnal shades, such as burgundy and grey, are starting to drop in store.
Latest Stories
How should you wear them? Style your knee high boots over denim, pair them with micro-mini skirts or team them with a floral dress (one of the most unexpected but brilliant AW16 trends).
So, whatever your sartorial preference and budget this season, there is definitely a knee high boot out there to suit.
