They changed my stance on the 𝓈ℯ𝓍y style.

A tall black boot will always be a fall staple. There’s yet to be a year where I haven’t found myself wearing the classic style. But this season, it’s not just any boot that stars are reaching for; it’s the 𝓈ℯ𝓍iest version of it, and I want in.

Thigh-high boots have become the go-to style among celebrities, who have proven just how versatile the shoes can be. Taylor Swift has worn them with an oversized sports tee while Anne Hathaway made them elegant with a floor-length coat. Just this week, Tracee Ellis Ross took a boho approach to the trend while Rihanna did the fall thing, pairing the sky-high boots with a cozy sweater dress.

Before this year, I had never considered over-the-knee boots to be practical, but I’ve since been convinced otherwise. Of course they’re 𝓈ℯ𝓍y, but they also have that go-with-everything versatility that’s made tall boots so beloved. Below, I rounded up eight shoes to help you shop the fall trend A-listers keep reaching.
