Trust Me: I've Looked—These Are the Chicest Knee-High Boots on the High Street

Boots are a footwear style we turn to all year round, but they truly come into their own during autumn and winter.

Whether they're paired with knitted dresses, peeking out under tailored trousers or helping our summer skirts transition to winter, a great pair of boots can be a defining feature of our cold-weather wardrobes. But finding the right pair can take a lot of searching: the heel height, material, silhouette and shade all need consideration, especially as at this time of year, there's a mass of options to choose from. That's where I come in.

There are a lot of boot styles around, from Chelsea boots to thigh-high pairs, but right now I'm focused on knee-high boots. Personally, I've always found them to be the most versatile, seamlessly elevating everything from trousers to maxi skirts and minidresses.

A good quality and timeless pair of boots will become a staple in your footwear collection, so this is an item worthy of a little investment. I've already covered the best high-designer pairs, but today I'm bringing you my edit of affordable knee-high boots for those who want serious style without spending a fortune. Thankfully, our favourite trusted high-street brands have delivered.
