I’ll admit it—when it comes to getting dressed in the morning, I can be a little bit lazy. I know, I’m a fashion editor, but it happens to the best of us, right? However, I know how to play the game, and one trick I always used throughout college was to wear a cool pair of tall boots with a comfortable outfit and it instantly made my outfit look more polished and put-together—even if it was just your average sweater and skinny jeans combo.

Much to my ease, over-the-knee styles are coming back in full force with options all over the market. And as the weather continues to drop, I will happily continue to sport tall boots with almost every one of my outfits. There’s many on the market, but I went ahead and rounded up some of the best from classic black leather to trendier versions with prints and color options. Either way, scroll ahead to find your new favorite boot amongst the mix. 

These are classic.

Ganni can do no wrong.

When the weather starts to drop, it’s hard not to fall for anything that’s leather.

Peep that chunky heel.

I’d like to stomp around in these.

These would look so good under a midi dress of your choice.

If you’re into a lug sole.

Leave it to Staud to make such a dreamy pair of boots.

This heel did not come to play.

Look at that shade of green!

A solid neutral shade.

I’m expecting these to sell quick.

This has the perfect subtle western touch.

Wear it tall or let it scrunch up.

Extra chunky.

Madewell now offers these with an extended calf.

Not your average pair of Docs.

Grunge.

Check out that chain detailing.

The perfect boot for the colder months ahead.

I can picture Catwoman wearing this, and that’s a compliment in my eyes.

Like superhero boots, but chic.

I can’t resist a good croc detail.

These have become a wardrobe staple for me.

Try out the blue shade if you’re feeling brave.
