If you don't feel you can quite carry off the ubiquitous spike ankle boot, then take this season's other boot option: the super-tight skinny boot. They can be worn to the knee, or just over (a bit much for me), like these ones from Calvin Klein. They must be as tight as your socks, but, remember, circulation-stoppers are neither fetching nor practical. Pointy toes are killer at the moment and soft black leather looks best. If you don't fancy that, these embroidered creamy ones are a bit rock and roll chick, a bit Nashville. Very Meg Matthews.
