Practical Chic Winter Boots

2 November 2009

From statement knits to cosy coats, fashion is getting practical this season and the winter boot is an absolute wardrobe essential. There are literally thousands to choose from – we should know, we’ve done the legwork! – but the breakout styles for autumn/winter ’09 include the tough biker, sexy thigh-high and over-the-knee styles as championed on the Chloé catwalk, and the must-have ankle boot, whether flat or high-heeled. Add an edge to your look with a statement colour, stud, buckle or fringe embellishment, or keep things fuss-free for the weekends with new season sheepskin. Start your search right here with our top 50 high street boots…
