Asides from the multiple layers of knitwear, leggings and coats, winter brings the need for a good pair of shoes. If there is one investment you’re going to make in your wardrobe, it’s sensible footwear and the cold-weather season is the perfect excuse to invest in a new pair. When it comes to brands, there’s one designer we always look to for stylish footwear and that’s Roger Vivier. Made famous for ladylike buckle shoe, which was worn by Catherine Deneuve in Belle de Jour, the brand has since won legions of fans including Jackie Kennedy and the whole cast of Sex and The City.

In recent years the brand has become better known for its cult military-style boots which are modelled after traditional combat styles and topped with the designer's signature silver buckle. Versatile enough to dress up or down, you can wear them with cropped jeans at the weekend and a mini skirt and blazer come date night.
