8 Leather Boots That Will Make Your Legs Look Amazing

Woman wearing leather boots | iStock.com/Voyagerix Leather boots can be one of the most fun items to unbox once fall arrives. If you have a pair you love, it’s likely they figure into one of the first outfits you choose as the weather begins to get cool. But maybe you don’t have a pair of boots you love. And maybe you aren’t entirely certain about which style would be the most flattering on you. Don’t worry, we’re here to help. There’s no magic formula for determining which leather boots are going to make your legs look amazing. In fact, factors like boot height, the height of the heel, and how closely the boots fit at your ankle and around your calf all play a role. For many women, a pair of tall boots that hits a couple inches below the kneecap will be the most flattering, since they’ll sit neither too high nor too low on the leg. Looking for more specifics? Who What Wear’s Meghan Blalock has some specific recommendations for the boot style that’ll be the most flattering on different body types. But depending on your body type, preferences, and how many style “rules” you really feel the need to follow, just about anything goes. Read on to take a look at our pick of the leather boots that will make your legs look amazing this fall and winter. Whether you have narrow calves or wide calves, long legs or short ones, you’re sure to find a style that works well for your proportions and blends in with the rest of your wardrobe easily. 1.
