Not Ankle Boots—The Most Stylish Celebrities Are Wearing Tights With This Winter Shoe Trend
Put down the ankle boots. The most stylish dressers—Amal included—are wearing this much more elegant boot trend instead.
If you're considering adding a new pair of shoes to your winter rotation, I'd love to put forward an alternative to ankle boots this time around. Inspiring my argument, I spotted Amal Clooney stepping out this week, swapping the usual ankle-boot pairing for much more elegant over-the-knee boots worn with tights and a minidress.
Creating one sleek, uninterrupted line from thigh to toe, Amal's combination brought cohesion to her outfit, whilst making her bright white minidress feel genuinely winter-ready. Meanwhile, the extended silhouette of the boots added extra coverage without compromising on the elegance of a shorter hemline.
I know many of us naturally default to ankle boots once winter arrives, but I really don't see why we should limit ourselves. Over-the-knee boots offer a chic way to extend some of our favourite warm-weather pieces into the colder months. Paired with opaque tights, they provide an extra layer of warmth while making miniskirts and shorter dresses feel much more seasonally appropriate.
Timeless, elegant and surprisingly easy to emulate, Amal's outfit has me reconsidering my usual winter footwear. Read on to shop the over-the-knee boots I'd recommend below.
