5 Gorgeous Ways To Style Your Over The Knee Boots

Summer is officially here, which means it’s time to dust off your favorite boots and bring them back into your wardrobe (or, if you’re like me, wear them every single day). But the tried and true staple is so tried and true that a little updating wouldn’t hurt. Here are some tips to help update your over-the-knee boot looks into this season. They may be a classic staple, but they’re anything but basic!

* With Romper

Thanks to over-the-knee boots, you really can bring your favorite summer staple into fall! This outfit may sound tricky but it’s actually fairly foolproof just make sure the romper is somewhat shaped (meaning a cinched waist on a baggier silhouette like on Kate Bosworth), is in colors appropriate for fall (preferably black to match the boot color), and is loose enough to look like a miniskirt or dress. Add a jacket or long cardigan for colder weather.

* With a Midi Skirt

Two fall staples coming together a midi skirt shows off the boots only at the right angle, giving the outfit a trendy and unique feel. Pair with a classic sweater and coat for the perfect and polished fall ensemble.

* With Baggy Layers

A fitted high heel boot goes flawlessly with a loose silhouette like a minidress and oversized sweater. Bonus cold-weather points for furry accessories.

* With a Cream Colored Top and Jeans

The most common way to wear your over-the-knees is with a good pair of skinny jeans. Update the look with a cream-colored sweater or top and contrasting black boots on bottom. If you’re really feeling bold, pair your sweater with boots in a similar color for a cohesive feel.

* With All-Black

All-black is nothing new, but if you couldn’t already tell, monochrome always looks trendy. Get extra style points for pairing with romantic shapes and ruffles and an on-trend fedora.
