Knee-high boots were simply made for fall. Although I instinctively reach for jeans to style with my black riding boots, pairing knee-high styles with dresses is truly the ideal outfit formula for fall—and one that I’ll be using throughout the season, at that. Temperatures can rise or fall as much as 20 degrees in the season, and knee-high boots provide both coverage and warmth. Plus, it’s easy to layer a coat over whichever dress you choose.
When it comes to what boots to invest in, you can never go wrong with black leather boots (and I have plenty of styling suggestions for those), but I also encourage you to try something new with suede or snakeskin fabrications this season. No matter if your style leans more understated or you’re all-in on boho, I found the best outfit formulas from street style stars and celebrities alike to inspire your next ensemble this fall. Scroll on to see them all below.
