For the past five months, Anna Wintour has worn pretty much nothing but knee-high, pointed-toe, modestly-heeled boots. She has them in leather, suede and satin. She has them in black and various shades of brown. And they’re just, well, not very nice to look at.

We would like to provide her with some cold weather alternatives: tights and booties, tights and pumps, tights and sandals, tights and anything but knee-high, pointed-toe, modestly-heeled boots. (Note: Anna sometimes wears tights with her boots, so we know she owns them.)
