Though they may have been overshadowed by their ankle cousins over the past couple of years, 2011 has marked their return in impressive fashion.
Here we have five of the top knee high boots available to buy at the moment with some inspiring suggesting for how to wear them, even some new looks to keep the stylish staple fresh for your fall wardrobe.
An injection of bold colours have been shot into the colder months with berry, teal, orange and purple making most popular list. Although some of the classic colours are the best, there is no reason why you cannot make your statement piece your knee highs.
Purple, berry and yellow boots have been spotted on the highstreet of late, as well as the traditional tan, black and brown shades that remain the old faithful.
Take a little look at these five pairs of pretties and have a click on which one you see fitting nicely into your winter wardrobe.
You cannot go wrong with a pair of tan knee high boots. Not only does it go well with black leggings or skirts, but it of course is a winner when wearing neutral and moccha shades. Team with a midi skirt for mixing up those trendy lengths.
As a casual staple goes, you cannot do better for quality and simplicity than this brown boot from Miss Selfridge. Tuck your skinnies into this pair of boots, find a tailored blazer and a clutch and you have smart casual in an instant.
There is no need to over-complicate this trend. If your looking for a pair of heeled black boots then these Dune faithfuls with last years and can offer you a whole host of looks. Go for an A-Line or ponte dress and go all out 70s with for an alternate office look. Perfect for keeping up the monochrome trend.
Riding boots and chunky heels are very trendy this autumn. Not only are they great for an a/w casual staple but they can suit so many looks. Whether you're going for the comfy leggings and oversized knitwear look or some suede shorts and baggy t-shirt - they can turn any look from good to great.
For added detail pick yourself up a pair with some detail or buckle on them to add some definition to them.

If you're looking to treat yourself this season then this is something to consider. There is something about the purple/berry shade that is hotting up the cold season. These boots were made to be walked down the street with some classic tailoring and a statement bag to match.
A little tip: As well as colour, invite some texture into your footwear choices this season. Faux fur is popular on clothing so why not find some furred boots, similarly with knitwear, woolens would be extra snug for a/w. You'll only have to ensure the weather is being your friend before you step outside the front door!
