We all need the perfect pair of riding boots for autumn to keep our feet toasty, and Carvela’s Whisper boots are at the top of our winter wishlist. Not only are over-the-knee boots a key trend for the season (finally one that is practical and promises to keep us warm), but we love the contrasting two-tone fabric to add an unconventional twist.

Staying true to the traditional English design, the riding stirrup appeals to the more conservative shopper, whilst the studded eyelet detailing adds an edgier undertone for modern fashionistas.

Wear over jeans and thick-knit socks for a casual everyday look, or with tights and dress for work – what’s more, these boots are a timeless design that can be worn year after year.
