If the winter fashion trends feel daunting, put all the focus on your feet instead.

Every major style paraded on the international catwalks came with boots included.

So if the top-to-toe dominatrix look is a step too far, then just try the over-knee boots on their own.

Worried by the thought of faux fur? Pull on a cuff bootie for a nod to the texture trend instead.

Wedge, flat or heel, you can easily put your own stamp on a top trend via your footwear. Here’s our easy guide…
