Are you still searching for this style staple? Perhaps this sartorial saviour is proving harder to find than those other winter wardrobe essentials – a cool coat, party frock or practical everyday handbag.
Well, the Swedish brand Acne is renowned in fashion circles for their uncanny ability to design a winning boot. Their prowess kicked off a few season’s ago when they designed the ‘pistol’ boot (plain black with a side zip and tassle) that went on to inspire an army of high street knock offs.
And by golly they’ve gone and done it again with their ‘star’ boot which despite an eye-watering price tag of €400 has been a sell out amongst the style set.

Topshop has come up trumps with this dead ringer which costs a more affordable €120.

We reckon you’ll have to be quick though as we predict, just like its designer counterpart, this is sure to be a fast-selling hit with the fash pack.
