When I say black knee-high boots are my holy grail, there is no exaggeration in my bold statement. Surviving colder weather while also looking cute starts with this exact shoe style. I think I've worn my favorite pair a billion times, and they're still as good as new. One of my surprisingly favorite ways to wear mine is tucked into a wide-leg pair of blue jeans. This is a genius hack to keep your legs warm and also alludes to longer legs. When you find a pair that you can walk for miles in, you will be just as enamored.
I'll get you there today with a quick browse of my picks that—I must say—are pretty darn good. In some ways, you can never truly have enough pairs because there's always something new to love on the horizon. Whether it's Western-inspired boots, rubber stompers, or the elegant stiletto staple, each serves a completely different purpose. I, for one, alternate between my forever classic and exciting cowboy boots, depending on the occasion. Scroll on to discover your new favorite pair of black knee-high boots and outfit ideas that will help you make the most of them.
Speaking of my favorite pair, they're so good I have to show them off on every corner. Oh, and they were under $250.

This kind of blazer is both my night-out and business casual go-to.
I'm not much of an animal-print person, but this dress fully convinced me.
The chunky heel must be the secret. My feet never get tired in these.

The most flattering dress in my closet.
After getting stuck in a pair of boots and having a friend come over to pull me out, I really look for a pair that has a zipper.

These onesies have proven themselves as much more than your gym buddy.
Tie together any brown + black outfit with the well-crafted heel on this pair of boots.
Every season, I love to stake my claim on a statement coat to bring a bit of excitement to winter days. A hot-pink one will do just the trick.

Okay, now this is a deal.
These are the most comfortable stilettos that I own.
The ultimate night-out look has arrived. It's the definition of 2022 elegance.

Worth the splurge.
I loved experimenting with fun dresses this summer, and it's exciting to know that we can just keep on wearing them. This is how I'd do it.
Shop the look:
If you haven't bought a leather blazer yet, WYD?
