Those Boots Need These Clothes: 6 Outfit Combinations That Work Now

This season, there are so many new boot trends to get excited about. Some years it's all about classic Chelsea boots, but this season we're also lusting after red-leather, sock-style, snake-print and glossy patent iterations—and that's before we even get started on the shapes, silhouettes and heel types that are on offer.

It's basically all about finding boots with plenty of personality—the headlining styles this year are Chanel's glitter knee-highs, Fendi's shiny red pull-ons and Balenciaga's pointed colourful kitten-heel boots. The only problem with this attention-seeking footwear is that it can seem tricky to style, but here are six outfits that prove there's no need to be intimidated by a pair of knee-length red-leather boots.

Keep scrolling to see—and shop—the boots and outfits that are made for each other.

Style Notes: When it comes to knee-length heel boots, Pernille proves the look great worn over the top of grey skinny jeans. She embraces the "sloaney pony" aspect of this ensemble by wearing a cashmere jumper tied around her shoulders in the Kensington knot.

Style Notes: Red boots are the biggest boot trend this year, and we love how Doina styled it head to toe, pairing it with a red skirt and a floral top.
