Taylor Swift and More Celebs Wore Stylist-Loved Winter Boots

When curating a winter capsule wardrobe, there’s one pair of shoes that stylists consider a staple: knee-high boots. And they’re not alone, celebrities like Taylor Swift, Jennifer Garner, and Amanda Seyfried have been spotted wearing the style.

What makes tall or structured boots a standout is how they “instantly refine” outfits, celebrity stylist Anna Lavo tells PEOPLE. “Overly heavy soles and ultra-chunky combat boots are fading fast,” she says. “I always recommend [investing] in timeless pieces, which you’ll be wearing for many seasons and still [look] stylish.” In this case, Lavo suggests knee-high boots with “clean” lines and pointed or almond toes.

We found a wide range of options that channel celeb styles and are worth adding to your cold-weather rotation — starting at just $20.

Knee-High Boots Inspired by Celebrities

Dream Pairs Chunky Knee-High Boots

Garner opted for a chunky heel similar to this Dream Pairs style, which helped complete her elegant streetwear look. Lavo also mentions that a sleek, tall boot will instantly add “polish” to your outfit — even if it’s with a pair of wide-leg pants. What’s unique about these boots (besides being a best-seller on Amazon) is their design. The shaft of the boot can fold, scrunch, and transform into five shoe styles, allowing you to get more looks for the price of one. 

Dr. Scholl’s Adeline Boots

Knee-high boots aren’t just made for long coats, pants, or skirts — you can also pair them with shorter pieces, according to personal stylist Chelsea Volpe. She suggests styling a midi dress with rider boots (like these) and an oversized wool coat for a more “relaxed, winter-ready look.” The insole has built-in arch support and cushion, so you can wear them from the office to your holiday party. 

Jessica Simpson Flerran Boots

Angela Foster, who specializes in petite fashion, suggests you add “animal print anything” to your winter capsule wardrobe. Immediately, we thought of Swift’s snake print pair, which not only makes a statement but blends well with shades of black and brown — which are the same colors the mega pop star styled hers with.

These boots look nearly identical to the star’s pair, but this style trades the high heel for a kitten height. Shoppers applaud how comfortable they are to wear — one reviewer wrote they’re “easy to walk in.”

Grab these knee-high boots while they’re still in stock to add a starlet touch that’s also stylist-approved to your closet. Looking for more inspo? Check out other shoppable styles below.
