Celebs, Fashion Girls, and I Agree—Every Chic Outfit Features These Boots

When it comes to It shoe silhouettes, ankle boots often reign supreme during fall. But there’s actually another classic shape that may just give your favorite booties a run for their money. Yes, I’m talking about knee-high boots. While they’ve been making the fashion rounds for seasons, this footwear pick is apparently one of the only styles that matters for fall 2019, as evidenced by fashion week–goers.

Seriously. I haven’t been able to scroll through a street style roundup or catch a glimpse of a cool celebrity fit without spotting knee-high boots. And for good reason—they’re often the hero piece to the chicest fall looks thanks to their sleek, statement-making nature. Basically, if you haven’t tested these shoes out yet, now is the time.

With that in mind, I curated a range of celeb and fashion-girl outfit inspiration highlighting the freshest knee-high boot silhouettes. Keep scrolling and get a leg-up in the autumn styling department.

On Kendall Jenner: Alain Mikli sunglasses; Ports 1961 dress; Staud Moon Bag ($325); Jacquemus Les Bottes Pantalon Boots ($1180). Style tip: For an eternally chic look, pair black knee-high boots with a black shirtdress—complete with eye-catching accessories.

On Bella Hadid: ’47 Yankees Hat ($25); Vivienne Westwood blazer; Prada Lace-Up Moto Boots ($1450). Style tip: Lean into that ’90s vibe by tucking loose jeans into flatter almost-to-the-knee boots. A power blazer and unexpected baseball cap complete this very-right-now silhouette.

On Hailey Bieber: J Brand x Elsa Hosk Leather Birthday Blazer ($1298); MM6 Maison Margiela Inside Out Logo Tee ($255); Jacquemus Les Bottes Pantalon Boots ($1180); Celine sunglasses. Style tip: Don’t be afraid of a monochromatic look with white boots and a coordinating dress. You can always toss on a leather jacket to break up the vibe.

Who: Chanel Iman. Style tip: Make an LBD pop even more with a sleek pair of snakeskin boots.

Style tip: Test out this ensemble for the office with statement boots, a pretty midi skirt, and a sophisticated belted blazer.

Style tip: Try brown knee-high boots instead of standard heels or booties with denim culottes and a blazer.

Style tip: A printed dress looks flawless with mock-croc boots for work or play.

Style tip: While this look may seem incredibly high-concept, it only requires two chic pieces. Yep, simply toss on a midi dress with white knee-high boots for an elevated look.

Style tip: Snakeskin boots with a layered rust-colored fit feels so elegant for the season.

I had a friend text me the other night and ask me, “Hey, I got this giant pork shoulder on sale. What on earth can I do with it?!”

I think I replied in 0.25 seconds.  “IP pork nachos. What else would you make?”

Hello, it’s Game Day season and we always, always need a giant sheet pan of nachos, no questions asked. And why not make them in the pressure cooker that takes such minimal effort?

Am I right or am I right?
