Boot season is almost here. This fall, tall boots and knee high boots are right up there on the season's fashion trends. Of all the different styles of tall boots, a few made my must-have list: wedge, slouchy and riding inspired boots. Details like ruffles, harnesses, buttons and buckles are something you can look for when shopping for a pair. Of course you can't go wrong with  sleek, plain boots if worn right that is.

As far as how much you should spend on a pair of boots... well, think of them as smart investments. Keep in mind you will be wearing them during cold, rainy and snowy days. Ideally, under $200 but if you feel like splurging I suggest a pair for everyday use and another for special occasions.
