Hardly any piece of clothing or accessories causes as much insecurity among women as attractive over-the-knee boots. Can the shorter women wear them or not and how high should they be? And what about age? These boot models that reach over the knee are surely only intended for the younger ones, right? Far from it! Just because you're turning 50 doesn't mean you have to forego an outfit with over-the-knee boots! We explain why overknee boots are suitable for women of all ages and what you should keep in mind.
Why the coveted boot models are also allowed in old age
Aside from the fact that you always have the right to wear what you want, the problem with boots isn't so much age. Rather, it is the size, type and figure that influence whether overknee boots look good. For example, haveWomen with shorter legsrather difficulties finding a suitable model - even if they are only in their 20s. The main features to look for when you start looking are:
- the material
- the color
- the correct height of the shaft

How to choose and combine overknee boots correctly for women over 40 and 50
So what should you consider when choosing so that you ultimately look really elegant and stylish and not cheap? And how should the rest of the outfit be designed? We summarize the most important things:
Which material is right for mature women?
The headline is a little misleading because the following applies to all ages: Varnish should be an absolute taboo because it has exactly the effect that you certainly don't want. Overknee boots should look casual and elegant, not cheap. That's why artificial leather andVelor is ideal. Also avoid cords, as these can quickly give the wrong impression. Zippers, however, are not a problem.
The right color for overknee boots
It's supposed to be subtle, so color is certainly not allowed, right? Actually yes, but again within limits. Red over-the-knee boots are trendy and are also allowed for people over 50. However, not every lady dares to do so, so you are welcome to do soclassic blackcan stay. Or, in addition to black over-the-knee boots, choose another neutral color such as white, gray, taupe or beige! They can all be wonderfully combined with other items of clothing. An elegant Bordeaux is also a good alternative to bright red. Add a matching handbag and you can start the day in style!
The shaft length – just above the knee or mid-thigh?
This not only depends on your size (choose shorter models if you have short legs), but above all on how much you want to stand out. If the boot shaft ends just above your knees, the over-the-knee outfit will be more subtle than a model that reaches over the middle of your thighs. If you have very thin legs, the shaft should also fit tightly, otherwise it will stick out unsightly.
Overknee boots for women over 50 – do they have to be high heels?
Don't worry, high heels are not only not a must, but are actually taking a back seat due to the latest trends. There is also a risk that you will appear “too much” after 50. Of course you can if you want or the occasion is right. But otherwise, consider yourself luckywide heelsor even flat boots are currently popular. Overknee boots with heels or without heels are perfect for everyday life or work.
Tips for the rest of the outfit
Since the overknee boots are already noticeable enough, the rest should be chosen to be more casual, subtle and less attractive. This means that you shouldn't combine it with a mini skirt, for example, no matter how slim you are for your age. On the other hand, skinny jeans are popular (you can't go wrong with them) and, for example, a sweater in a trendy oversized lookor a dresswith floral print.
Skirts are of course allowed, provided they are not too short. And the boot shaft can also be covered a little. If you don't want to see a little skin, just wear opaque tights!
