Zip-Up Thigh-High Boots

You don’t need striking prints or embellishments to make a big impression — these thigh-high boots will do the trick beautifully. The dark brown finish adds a vintage allure, making them a great alternative to black footwear. Plus, the little side zip details make them easier to wear. Pair them with a white matching turtleneck top and skirt set for an elegant and classic winter look.
