Boot trends ebb and flow, and we've learned through experience that nostalgic styles tend to make their way to the forefront of fashion, proving everything old is new again. That's certainly the case with knee-high boots. They were once the only acceptable footwear choice, but in recent years, the over-the-knee boot and ankle bootie have dominated both the runway and street style. Well, knee-high boots are back, and they're better than ever. The styles we're loving definitely take us back to the early 2000s, but they've got a decidedly modern twist. In short, they're pretty perfect shoes, and we're really crushing on these 10 pairs from Macy's [1].
Yes, a classic black boot [2] is an absolute essential, but we're also so into neutrals like navy and burgundy, animal-print styles, and even sparkly boots for a night out. You can wear knee-high boots tucked into pants, underneath a midi dress or skirt, or with a sexy mini. The possibilities are endless, and now all that's left to do is shop!
