Equestrian boots

If leggings and jodhpur-style trousers are your uniform for fall, you'll welcome the equestrian boots with arms wide open.

Thigh high boots

Reach new heights of statement style with sultry thigh high boots. Sleek and sophisticated, they need to be balanced out with demure separates to avoid looking too sexy. My advice on how to wear over the knee boots? Ditch your miniskirt and channel grown-up elegance with an oversized sweater dress or a high-waisted pencil skirt. For an instant tough-luxe feel choose a bold shoulder blazer and moto pants.
