The Princess of Wales and Jennifer Lopez might not have a lot in common, but they certainly share a love of knee-high boots. Both women regularly wear the trend every fall and winter, offering up a plethora of outfit ideas that are ripe for copying. In Kate Middleton's case, she's been wearing one specific pair of knee-high boots for nearly 20 years: Penelope Chilvers Standard Tassel Knee High Boots ($695). If that doesn't prove that the style has staying power, I don't know what will.

Below, I rounded up my favorite examples of Middleton and Lopez wearing knee-high boots and included pieces you can shop to re-create their looks. There's an outfit here for nearly any occasion, including a casual weekend look and a dressy option for the holidays. Scroll down to learn how to style knee-high boots.

Plaid and fall go together like peanut butter and jelly. Copy Lopez and try an oversize plaid jacket with your favorite knee-high leather boots.

Last but certainly not least, this is a great option for transitional weather. The dress is clinging on to summer, but the boots are absolutely ready for fall.
