Aberdeen Platform Boots

The Aberdeen boots are made for stomping and this crisp cream-white iteration is sure to please minimalists everywhere. Featuring clean lines and a lack of embellishment, they make the perfect foundation for your cold-weather ensembles to be built upon. Bonus points for the fact that they offer a sock-like fit. Wear yours with palazzo pants and a patterned top.

An accessible brand with genuine kudos, Charles & Keith has put the creativity back into affordable accessories. Its shoe and bag collections are always on the money, making them a hit with the British style press. Although it’s a global brand, it’s a relative newcomer to the British high street, so our advice is to get it early before everyone catches on.
