Ankle boots have been our winter staples for as long as we can remember. This year, though, we’re stepping it up by embracing our new favourite footwear: the statement-making knee-high. Bold and cool, chunky lug soles are the standout trend, adding a fresh, utilitarian edge to the classic silhouette. For a sleeker finish, equestrian leather styles remain timeless and chic, ideal for pairing with tailored coats for a polished look. Meanwhile, slouchy suede boots work beautifully with floaty midi dresses for a soft contrast, while pastel leather options bring the full 1960s glam. They’re practical, they have the cool factor and they promise versatility and impact in equal measure. What’s not to adore?
