Gripped Soles Combat Boots

For every high fashion iteration we are loving this season, it is important to remember you can't go wrong with a classic. From the lace-up closure to the calf length, the timeless design features on these boots will never go out of style. Add to that the match-all sleek black colour that promises endless versatility and you will find yourself reaching for them time and again. Bonus points for the chunky cleated sole that adds height and edge to any look. For a punk-inspired ensemble, pair them with a plaid shirt dress and a hobo bag.

• Faux leather
• Heel height (cm): 4.5

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.
