Along with the punk trend has come chunky boots which are a personal favourite of mine - especially ones with the now coveted buckle.
Heeled boots in general have been a favourite simply because of the ability to give the appearance of toned legs as well as boosting my height a couple of inches without my feet losing circulation such as is the effect of many stilettos.
But thick heeled boots are back with a vengeance, a particular common trend being a spin on the classically more masculine Chelsea boots.
These shoes add a much needed rock flair to even the simplest of outfits and allows you to go along with the punk trend despite a lack of grunge and tartan.
My personal favourites are the Nappa Chunky Heels from Zara (4) which are similar to the discontinued Topshop Aftershocks and are definitely unique with their white sole - my only qualm being the likely dirtying of the sole!
Alas, the Kurt Geiger Tamara Biker Boots (1) are absolutely perfect for cold nippy days and the quilted look alongside the buckle adds a dimension that the other ankle boots don't.
