I've Worked It Out—This Expensive-Looking Boot Style Always Features in Chic Winter Outfits

With winter moving into sight I've been honing in on my search for the perfect winter boots to see me through the new few months of chilly living. Having explored ankle boots, knee-high styles, western iterations and more, I noticed that every pair I was drawn to had a very specific quality in common. Transcending heel height or silhouette, every single boot I found myself falling for featured a sleek pointed-toe.

I'm not the only one draw to the sophisticated quality of a sharp pointed-toe boot, in fact it's one of the few boot trends that I actually see fashion people reach for year after year.

Whilst there is merit to a chunky, rounded-toe boot, I personally find that a neatly pointed-toe style is infinitely more elegant. With a streamlined cut, the shoe is narrow and a poised, making it far easiest to style with a formal ensemble. Wearing well with maxi and midi dresses, these boots also styled well with baggy or straight-leg jeans, to add a polished element and, literally, sharpen up your style.

An enduring staple that will withstand fickle trends, pointed-toe boots are the winter wardrobe addition that you're guaranteed to get your money's worth from. As they're such a staple buy, brands have had plenty of time to perfect their offerings. Spanning high street and designer labels, the sleek boot is available at a range of price points and in different cuts, colours and heel heights, too. Whilst I've settled on a simple black knee-high pair from Arket, I've also found some elegant options that will wear just as well under jeans or trousers this winter.

Sleek, sophisticated and warm enough to see you through a winter's worth of wear, this is the one boot style I'm recommending to all of the friends this season. Already dominating my Instagram feed in the most low-key way, I think that the silhouette is only going to get more popular from here on out. Instilling a '90s mood wherever it goes, it seems to be a hit with all generations, too—and there's not many items you can say that about.
