think about when building your knee high boot winter outfit.

- Don’t ignore your silhouette. For example: tucking wide-leg trousers into boots can create a bulky look and disrupt your overall shape.
- Do choose the right heel height. Different heel heights work for different occasions, with flat boots leaning more casual and heeled ones working better with smarter outfits.
