Leather Knee High Boots from Simply Be

I've said before that a great pair of knee high boots is an autumn and winter essential and blogged about a fantastic heeled pair from Castaluna.  However, today I'm going for flat boots and have found what I need at Simply Be.  They come in a range of colours, sizes and width fittings, so there is definitely something that will fit my calves perfectly.  The only problem is that I can't decide which to get - should I go smart or casual?  Or should I get both?  Until 12th September, there's 30% off selected items and these boots are included...

The first boots I found were these leather riding boots.  Classic and refined, they could be worn to work - but would also look great with tucked-in skinny jeans.  They come in sizes 4 to 9, black or light brown and a range of width fittings.  They are £80 normally, but £64 with the discount.

The second pair of boots I found were these leather Sole Diva double buckle boots, again in sizes 4 to 9, black or brown and a range of width fittings.  They are more casual than the riding boots but would be practical and perfect for wearing during the day.

Decisions, decisions...  But even if I run out of time, Simply Be often has a discount voucher code to take advantage of, so all is not lost in terms of savvy savings!  

Wardrobe Staple: Jigsaw Knee High Stretch Riding Boots from Atterley Road

A classic, well-fitting pair of leather knee high riding boots is a wardrobe must and now is the time to take advantage of the sales to get a fantastic quality pair at a fraction of the normal price.  Leather is a must - anything else tends to look cheap and can fall apart when worn a lot, especially if the weather is bad.  It's also a good idea to get ones with a bit of stretch and/or adjustable straps to fit calves well.  They are incredibly versatile and look great over skinny jeans but can also be worn under boot cut jeans or with skirts and dresses.

These brown leather boots by Jigsaw are available from Atterley Road and fit the criteria for the perfect pair.    There's a decent range of sizes still available - 36, 37, 39 and 41.  They have been reduced from £249 to £149 which still fairly expensive, but they're an investment that will last year after year!
