Guard against the cold in style with a subtly (or not-so-subtly) sexy pair of over-the-knee boots. This boot adds a whole new look to your entire wardrobe. Wear with skinny jeans and leggings or dress it up with tights and a dress or skirt. You can also tweak this trend to suit your personality. Choose a pair of boots that end just above the knee for more restrained ensemble, or go for a mid-thigh length to stop onlookers in their tracks. A flat heel is demure for the everyday, while a tall heel is daring for a dramatic, statement look.
