The 5 Boots Every Woman Should Own

HELLO, MOTO The particular moto boot your drawn to is subjective, of course, but the idea should be a bit edgy, definitely black and perhaps with just a hint of hardware. It's weekend done well. Shop it: Givenchy boots, $1,650, net-a-porter.com.

A black bootie with a slim heel and subtly pointed toe can take the place of pumps in cooler weather and work with everything from skirts to denim. They're the thinking lady's boot. Shop it: Saint Laurent bootie: $895, barneys.com.

A HIGHER PURPOSE Whether flat or heeled, over-the-knee boots lend a sultry vibe to jeans or dresses—not to mention their ability to make your legs look extra long. Shop it: Stuart Weitzman boots, $795, stuartweitzman.com.

THE BOHO BOOT This is the bootie to pair with everything from filmy white dresses to denim cut-offs. It solves problems you didn't even know you had. Not just for the festival crowd—a good suede low boot is casual and cool. Shop it: Isabel Marant bootie, $635, net-a-porter.com.

A chunkier heel ankle bootie, preferably in a neutral hue goes the distance—both literally and figuratively. These are literally boots made for walking with the benefit of added height. Shop it: 3.1 Phillip Lim boots, $795, shopBAZAAR.com
