Deep espresso-brown shades have dominated this season as the colour trend loved by those in the know. Styling well with creamy neutrals, vibrant reds and shades of grey; this winter, the style set has swapped their black bases for this chic, trending colour—and honestly? I think I prefer it.
In particular, brown, knee-high boots have captured my heart. In deep, earthy tones, brown boots bring a warmer element to an otherwise neutral outfit, for a more casual, yet equally chic take on this classic boot style.
Just as versatile as their black counterparts and styling perfectly with midi skirts and dresses, knee-high boots are the footwear solution that will get you through the colder months in style. If you're in for a particularly chilly forecast, pop them underneath wide-leg trousers, leggings or pair with a knitted dress and extra-warm tights.
From Zara to Reformation, read on to shop our edit of the expensive-looking footwear staple the fashion set can't get enough of.
