Which Boot, When: Ankle, Knee-High or Over-the-Knee

The rule is simple: the shorter the hem, the taller the boot. Trousers take an ankle boot. A midi skirt takes a knee-high boot, so the hem overlaps it. A short dress or a long knit takes an over-the-knee boot.
And the colder it gets, the higher you go: ankle from October, knee-high from November, over-the-knee for the deepest weeks of winter. Here are a few of each, side by side.
