If I’m completely frank with you, I have never owned (or even tried on) a pair of over-the-knee boots. The one main reason being; I’m an ankle boot girl through and through. So much so, I only really started branching out by wearing knee-high boots for the past few years. Now, I’m interested in venturing even further north into the unfamiliar territory of over-the-knee boots. Because if we’re all being honest here, they’re not for everyone—mainly due to the fact they can actually just be quite tricky to wear.
As a stylist, I can see their outfit potential, but for me, I still have to put some thought into how and where I would actually wear them without them looking well, a bit tacky.
Luckily, so many chic brands—from COS to Khaite—have created iterations this year, making it easier to find ‘the one’ and pair them with anything from a knit mini dress to leggings. Still not convinced? Keep scrolling to see 5 surprisingly easy ways to wear over-the-knee boots this season.
