Tall boots, perfect for Casual Friday, can dress up office outfits any day of the workweek. Wear them with style with a few simple tips--these tall boots will seem anything but casual when you're ready to head out the door in the morning.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Walk on over to shoe and department stores for tall boot fashions in a wide range of colors and fabrics. Look for hot new styles in leather and suede or save money with vinyl. Or hop on the World Wide Web to buy boots online.

2. Pick colors that go best with your wardrobe if only one or two pair are in your budget. Black and brown boots are staples, but consider burgundy, gray or cream for classy colors appropriate for the office.

3. 
   Textured hose go great with boots.

   Make sure hems fall just above, at or below the knee when wearing tall boots with skirts or dresses to the office. Short skirts worn with boots will likely raise eyebrows, and not in a good way. During fall and winter months, try textured hose with tall boots to stay warm and fashionable.

• Try a splash of color or a variety of textures when picking out boots.
• Consider tall boots made with stretch fabric or side zippers for easy on and off after a hard day’s work.
• If boots will be worn to the office, pay attention to heels. High heels during 8- to 10-hour workdays can be painful.
• Also pay attention to pointy-toed boots and if they will be a comfortable choice for work.
