As it’s gotten colder in New York, boots have become essential. While I don’t love sacrificing style for warmth, black knee-high boots have quickly become my go-to when I want to look polished without freezing.
For a reliable outfit formula, I like layering them over thermal leggings or tights and pairing them with a midi or knee-length skirt and a cashmere sweater. It’s an easy combination that feels both warm and intentionally put together.
Two of my personal favorites are the Vagabond Blanca Tall Boots and the Frye Campus Knee High Boot. I reach for the Vagabond pair especially in the evenings because they’re a bit sleeker. They make me feel like I’m not compromising my outfit for the weather, and the low heel keeps them comfortable enough for when I’m out and about. They instantly elevate whatever I’m wearing.
