A trend that returns year after year, knee-high boots will elevate any outfit for an effortless put-together appearance, and best of all, the popular footwear will keep you warm when teamed with a dress on cold evenings. 

Knee-high boots are great for flattering the leg, so they work well styled with mini dresses. The on-trend shoe will also complement the chunky knitwear in your wardrobe, so we would recommend opting for an oversized jumper and mini skirt to create a chic 'It Girl' look.

There are so many styles of knee-high boots on the market right now, so we've rounded up our favourites to save you from endless scrolling in search of the perfect pair. Whether you're on the hunt for a stylish flat boot to wear every day or a heeled leather shoe to glam up your outfits, shop the edit of the best knee-high boots to see you through the year in style.
