You've heard about capsule wardrobe curation by now, but what about shoe capsule collections? Having a rotation of dependable shoes is just as important (if not more so) than a quality selection of jeans and sweaters. (Because a broken heel getting off the subway is not the most ideal start to the day.) In other words, reliable shoes made of high-quality materials that you know will last for decades are a worthwhile investment. Last week, Katie Holmes reminded us of the timeless appeal of Gucci's horsebit loafers. This week, Taylor Swift endorsed another shoe loved by generations: the black knee-high boots from Gucci that Swift wore with signature horsebit hardware.

Needless to say, this is the second time she's worn the Italian luxury brand this week (maybe a Gucci collaboration in her future?!). . Not forgetting the brand's green sequined gown that Swift wore to the Golden Globes, and the Evermore singer, who was back in New York yesterday, was spotted wearing a pair of classic Horsebit boots.

Let's break down her entire look: Swift bundled up in a tan double-breasted Stella McCartney coat for the New York chill. She layered it over a ribbed forest green sweater dress that peeked out from the unbuttoned coat. The wintery color palette of the coat and dress was perfect for this weather, and she complemented the coat with a $3,000 hobo bag in a similar tan tone from Saint Laurent. Finally, knee-high Gucci horsebit boots. The exact style she is wearing is currently sold out online, but we found a similar pair for you to purchase.

For accessories, she stuck to her usual dainty gold pieces, including a necklace and pendant by Foundrae, drop earrings by Kendra Scott, and a stackable gold necklace by Caty Waterman. Swift kept her natural glamour, a far cry from the full glam look seen during the red carpet season.

Any chance we get wax poetic about closet staples, a black pair of knee-high boots will never go out of style. For starters, you can style them with practically anything, and the little gold hardware found on Gucci options adds a touch of sophistication that doesn't feel too stiff (similar to its iconic loafers). And if you take care of your Italian-made calfskin boots, you can expect them to retain their good quality for years to come.

So, what are you waiting for' this is your sign to invest in a nice pair of knee-high black boots-you deserve it. While Swift's boots featured a higher heel, the boots below are a flat riding boot style. Yes, they are pricey, but considering the price per wear and how long they will last, they are definitely worth splurging on.
