Platforms may be the shoe du jour but if there’s another type of footwear everyone is obsessed with right now, it’s boots–particularly those at least knee-high.
Although typically known as a transitional item to go from autumn to winter, today’s knee-high boots play on a more stylistic purpose; that is, to add dramatic flair to any outfit. In line, of course, with fashion’s current proclivity towards fun, playful pieces. Consider the metallic gold ones at Dolce & Gabbana or the statement red pair at Louis Vuitton. There’s also the strong case made by Courrèges and Coperni which both had models clad in mini dresses and thigh-grazing boots. Meanwhile, Bottega Veneta styled a minimalist button-down with nothing but tall black leather boots, leaving the pants behind.
Whether you’re heading out for a day of errands or a night out with friends, knee-high boots will make you go places, and celebrities everywhere are leading the way. Here, 10 celebrities who showcase the power of a good pair of tall boots:
1. Kathryn Bernardo takes her black boots on a trip to Japan as a trusty travel companion. The footwear adds a fashion-forward feel to her decidedly preppy outfit.
2. Ever the adventurous dresser, Kylie Verzosa rocks a Versace-esque look in Paris with pointy boots and a bright pink tweed skirt for a pop of color.
3. Boots don’t always have to be bold as proven by Heart Evangelista. Here, she dons an understated pair from Dior but threw on a faux fur Fendi jacket for a trendy touch.
4. Leave it to Rei Germar to go all-out on anything Y2K. She gives her white boots a youthful whirl by throwing on a denim mini skirt, Diesel B-1DR belt, and cropped top. Paris Hilton in ‘Simple Life’ vibes.
5. Jess Wilson takes advantage of the ‘it’ factor of knee-high boots while getting cozy for the cold by wearing warm leggings underneath her chocolate brown pair.

7. Kelsey Merritt styles a classic Ralph Lauren OOTD in all-white for a clean look. Sans the sweater, her riding boots getup would totally work for a day of city-hopping.
