Thigh-high
Ciao
Leather thigh boots from Sexyshoes.co.uk from £116.99
The latest trend in footwear pushes fashion to the limit; the limit of your underwear, that is. Thigh-highs are only for the bold and definitely not an every day kind of boot. These are special occasion footwear, and work only within the realms of decency when they're either plain black leather or, at a very big push, patent.
Follow Nicola Roberts' lead and team with a super-feminine girly dress to balance out the toughness.

Knee-high
Ciao
Unless you're a big spender when it comes to designer heels, a good pair of knee-high boots will probably be the most expensive purchase you make for your feet, so be careful. That wonderfully garish glittery pair might look fab on once but will you ever really wear them again?
Long boots make enough of a statement without needing any real embellishment, so keep it simple in neutral black or brown leather or suede. It might sound boring but it pays to have a sensible sized heel too, as tempting as the higher ones can be, play it demure and you'll still have a stunning pair of boots.

Ankle
Ciao
BonPrix Ankle Boots from £27.90
The trusty ankle boots will survive winter after winter under your favourite jeans, so it's worth getting a reliable pair that will go with everything, from workwear to casual attire.
The most conservative of the boots family, it's with the ankle styles you can jazz things up a bit, so bolder colours such as red or grey, or interesting detailing, will liven up an otherwise safer boot choice.

The latest boots' trend might not be to everyone's taste, and not the easiest to wear at that, but it's keeping things interesting by dividing opinions. If you want to give the look a go be brave and realise it can work on everyone, not just the super-stylish.
A flat pair work well with skinny jeans, but a small heel will be more versatile and suit skirts as well. Woolly tights are also a must to keep the impact of the shoe boot a subtle, yet effective one.
