8. Lacy Leg Warmers 

Boot cuffs are great when it is chilly but not cold; as it gets colder, you might want full leg warmers. You still get the same pop of color out of the top of your boots but you also get more coverage on your legs to keep you warm. These leg warmers have a fun stitch on the body and a ribbed stitch at the top that helps keep them in place.
