Year in, year out, as autumn rolls around you can always guarantee two things–one, leather will always come back into fashion, and two, you will see me in knee high boots. Why? There’s a variety of reasons, but there’s something about the style of the long boot that instantly elevates any outfit.
For that reason, knee-high boots are, hands down, my favourite boot silhouette, and although they’ve never officially been out of style, it seems like leather knee-high boots are one of the only styles that matter for autumn/winter 2022.
From celebrities to top-tier influencers, everyone is wearing leather knee-high boots, and I don’t think that’s a coincidence. For one, they’re just so chic. It also helps that brands from both the high-street and designer worlds have invested in knee boots in a big way this season, meaning there’s a pair to suit you, whatever your budget.
Paired with everything from printed midi dresses to micro miniskirts and even with jeans tucked in, leather knee-high boots offer so much outfit milage to be tapped. With this in mind, I’ve curated an edit of the very best leather knee-high boots out there (which I inadvertently assembled whilst I was looking for my own perfect pair, and hint: I found them). Scroll on, however, to see my favourites in full.
