In this article, we'll give you some styling tips for over-the-knee boots, which are incredibly trendy lately. Not only do they keep you warm during the cold winter months, but they are also very stylish and versatile. Over the knee outfits can be worn in different settings, but some important details should not be overlooked.
What should you pay attention to when buying over-the-knee boots?
The form is essential. With the exception of some loose or gathered styles, over-the-knee boots are designed to sit on the calves. But they're never so tight that they're uncomfortable or make your legs swell. Above all, the zipper should go all the way up easily.
These boots immediately draw attention to your feet and legs with their confident look. For this reason, we advise women with thick calves not to wear these boots, or at least not the models that stick to the calf.
Tipp: Wear socks that end below the knee in your over-the-knee boots. Since your feet will stay in them for a long time, the socks prevent odor and protect your feet from the cold. In any case, you can wear your stockings underneath.
Overknees outfits – color and material selection
Black is a great alternative as it looks sleek and can be combined with anything. Leather is of course our preferred material for durability. However, the color palette for suede over-the-knee boots is quite large.
For modern and stylish over-the-knee outfits, beige and gray boots are the perfect choice. They will add warmth and softness to your look. You can either combine these colors with an outfit of the same color or use them in a different combination with shades that match these colors. If you prefer a same color look, you need to choose your outfits one or two shades lighter/darker so that you don't drown in one tone.
Combine party outfits with over-the-knee boots – lace-up boots over the knee with a dress:Let's say you are very confident and want to attract attention, then lace-up over the knee boots are for you. Combine this model, particularly suitable for evening wear, with a simple dress. You can achieve perfect harmony with a black fitted dress and matching accessories.
On the other hand, models with closed toes and tight laces have less impact than those that show more skin. As far as comfort goes, over-the-knee boots that end at mid-thigh are more attractive, but they are much more difficult to wear because there is little room for the knee to bend. So if you want both aesthetics and comfort, we recommend choosing a model that ends at the knee.

Are overknees the right choice at work?
We strongly advise against wearing overknee boots at work. High heels in particular do not go well with business attire as they look too elegant and feminine. If you really want, you can wear a low heel under a simple classic dress, but it is better to wear this style with knee-high boots.
Who doesn't love the comfort and practicality of a flat sole? Luckily, for today's busy women, flat-sole over-the-knee boots are just as fashionable as heeled ones. These models are certainly more comfortable than heels, but they still affect the mood of the outfit. Models with very low heels that end just above the knee will give your outfit an equestrian touch, while over-the-knee boots with higher and slightly lower heels give a touch of the 70s.
Flat over-the-knee boots are a good choice for people with long legs. However, if you're petite, choose a pair that hits just above the knee to maximize your calf length and make you appear taller.
