Knee boots aren't just sexy, but practical, too. When you slide on a pair of high boots, not only do you add instant appeal to your ensemble, but you can hide a multitude of outfit issues. From ripped tights to oversized calves, knee boots are a quick method of camouflage that cover up while still maximizing anything you're wearing to make it look like something new. Leather and suede boots will last the longest in a knee-high style, but you might just fall in love with woolen or woven options for winter that are more budget-friendly. For those who hate tugging on boots, try ones with a back lace or elastic gusset.
