Do you know what can freshen up your favorite pair of skinny jeans in an instant? A fantastic new pair of knee-high boots, naturally. Even though I live in sunny California, I'm always excited about buying new boots for fall and winter because they can transform my go-to jeans-and-tee outfits. Suddenly, with the right pair of shoes, I can go from my boring to on-trend.
While there are lots of boot styles vying for your attention right now, I happen to have a soft spot for knee-high boots. For starters, you can hide your comfiest socks under them, ensuring that you can stay warm all winter long. But they also make quite the style statement and really add some pizzazz to your wardrobe. Scroll down to shop my favorite knee-high boots with a range of different heel heights.
Flat Knee-High Boots
Flat boots are, of course, the easiest versions to wear if you don't feel like clonking around in heels. There are many different flat knee-high styles to try, including sleek riding boots, chunky rain boots, lace-up iterations, and more. Below, I rounded up some of my favorites from a variety of brands at different prices points.
Mid-Heel Knee-High Boots
Knee-high boots with mid-height heels are a great compromise if you want a dressier look than flats but don't want the difficulties of walking in ultra-high heels. I'm obsessed with this Paris Fashion Week street style image, which shows off the perfect outfit formula for this kind of boot.
High-Heeled Knee-High Boots
Last but not least, if you want to go all in with high-heel boots, I've found some spectacular options starting at just $70. There's a slew of different styles in my list, including brown suede, green snake print, disco platform boots, and more.
