When it comes to winter dressing, few pieces work harder than a great pair of boots. From sleek knee-highs paired with tights to the return of the ‘jean tuck’ and the undeniable polish of a pointed heel, this season’s boots are equal parts practical and powerful. Here’s how to style them right.

Knee-Highs

Knee-high boots and tights are a cold-weather classic, but this season, it’s all about the contrast. Ground the look with tights, then balance the sleek silhouette with an oversized blazer or a cropped coat. The result? Effortlessly put-together with just the right amount of edge.

Pointed Heel

The heeled pointed boot brings instant elevation to any outfit — literally and stylistically. Pair them with relaxed trousers, whether classic denim or soft leather, and anchor the look with a casual tee. Layer on an oversized blazer or long coat or trench for an off-duty ensemble that feels considered and cool.

The Jean Tuck

The ‘jean tuck’ is back — and it’s refreshingly undone. Loosely tuck straight or wide-leg denim into slouchy boots for a look that feels equal parts nostalgic and new. Keep the rest relaxed with earthy tones, a classic barn jacket, and a simple tee or singlet for an easy, effortless winter uniform.
