1. Mango - £75
These punky boots remind me of the eye-catching high-heeled DMs in Chloé's autumn collection. At a fraction of the price, these bold boots will instantly update your look.

2. Toast - £225
Understated, luxurious accessories are Toast’s speciality, and these soft, slouchy boots are just that. A wardrobe staple, you can fold them up or down to vary your style.

3. Celine - £567
Comfort and style rarely coincide, but these luxurious riding boots have both. If the soft camel leather looks too beautiful for British puddles, they also come in sensible black.

4. Anna Sui - £345
These gorgeous pewter boots combine two winter trends – biker chic and metallics. Use them to toughen up a mini-dress, or go for laid-back glamour by pairing them with jeans.

5. Duo - £110
A classic Gaucho style from a company that specialises in boots to fit all calf-widths. Smart enough for town, tough enough for country, these are also available in black.

6. Office - £80
These cute ankle boots have a vintage look, but the patent accents keep them contemporary. The rich plum shade is very on-trend, but they also come in black and grey.

7. French Connection - £115
I love the simplicity of these flattering low-rise ankle boots. Wear with opaque tights and a smock dress for effortless, pared-down chic.

8. Topshop - £130
Topshop scores again with a versatile style that will look great with skirts and dresses as well as skinny jeans. The subtly curved, Prada-esque heel is a fantastic detail.

9. Dune - £70
Super-shiny black patent was everywhere on the catwalks this season. The criss-cross straps have a touch of bondage-wear about them, but are delicate enough for the less adventurous.

10. Stella McCartney - £485
For those who would rather not wear leather, fashionable boots can be hard to find. This corduroy and velvet pair from Ms McCartney won’t compromise your principles or style.
