I'm a Fashion Editor in NYC—this is the one style of boot I've been pairing with every single outfit.

      As temperatures have dropped in New York, boots have become a necessity. Although I prefer not to sacrifice style for warmth, black knee-high boots have become my preferred choice when I want to appear polished without feeling cold. For a dependable outfit idea, I like to layer them over thermal leggings or tights, and pair them with a midi or knee-length skirt along with a cashmere sweater. This combination is simple yet looks both warm and thoughtfully assembled. Two of my top picks are the Vagabond Blanca Tall Boots and the Frye Campus Knee High Boot. I especially opt for the Vagabond pair in the evenings as they are slightly more streamlined. They give me the confidence that I'm not compromising my outfit due to the weather, and the low heel keeps them comfortable for outings. They immediately elevate my look. Below is a selection of black knee-high boots that are worth wearing repeatedly.
