Duchess Sophie's red leather knee highs and suede skirt scream autumn in the most elegant way

Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh smiles as she attends the Royal Cornwall Show at the Royal Cornwall Showground on June 06, 2025.

There are so many exciting and divisive autumn/winter shoe trends emerging for 2025 but I already know it’ll take a lot to sway me away from my favourite style of the season - knee high boots. The Royal Family are also big fans of this sleek and cosy footwear and Duchess Sophie’s deep burgundy boots are some of the most autumnal I’ve seen.

It’s surprising, then, that the Duchess of Edinburgh chose to bring them out a little early. She wore them for a visit to the Royal Cornwall Show in June paired with a tan suede skirt that also wouldn’t look out of place in September or October.
