The Essential: Knee-high boots add flair and elegance to the simplest of styles, and that includes your little black dress. If you have heavier calves, this is a great way to trim them and look impossibly sexy.

Get the Look for Less: Wide-calf boots under $100 are a possibility if you go for brands like Silhouettes. You'll find real leather boots with interest design details to fit your budget, and if you need ultra-wide boots, you can find them from OneStopPlus.
