EmRata Wore a $40 Zara Skort With the Boots on Every Editor's Fall Wish List
Once you decide you love something, it's psychologically proven that you'll see it everywhere. It's called the frequency illusion (kind of), and yes, it's real. Since I, like so many of my fellow editors, am fully smitten with point-toe, knee-high boots, I'm not surprised that the exact style has become practically unavoidable in my everyday life, whether I'm working on a story or walking around the city. But even with all that exposure, I'm convinced the most recent time I spotted a pair was my chicest sighting yet.
For an especially autumnal day in NYC, Emily Ratajkowski debuted the perfect fall outfit, which included a brown moto jacket worn over a black bodysuit and combined with a khaki-colored $40 Zara micro skort and knife-sharp knee-high boots. To accent the outfit, she added a vintage Dior Saddle Bag, Fendi sunglasses, and a wide belt.
Clearly, the universe is trying to tell me something, and it has everything to do with the 14 pairs of dangerously tempting point-toe, knee-high boots below. Scroll down to see EmRata's look and shop them all.
On Emily Ratajkowski: Zara Asymmetric Skort ($40); Khaite Bella Leather Belt ($480); Fendi sunglasses; Dior bag
Shop knee-high boots:
If you've already stocked up on black boots, try this chocolate-brown pair instead.
If you're going to splurge on boots, a pair by Stuart Weitzman is always a safe bet.
This color has also been following me around recently.
This kitten heel will make walking for hours a breeze.
Wake me up when these are arriving on my doorstep, sent from a kind stranger.
