The beauty of knee-high boots is that they add an instant touch of elegance to any outfit, which is probably a reason why fashion people in Paris turn to the style. In terms of styling, the boots are statement-making on their own, so elevated basics are often the clothing style of choice to pair with them. And that's what we're seeing amongst the French style set. Keep scrolling to see more of what we mean, featuring the outfits Parisians are wearing with knee-high boots.
Knee-High Boots + Leggings
Leggings look all the chicer with a pair of knee-high boots. Add a knit and oversize coat, and you're good to go.
Knee-High Boots + Midi Dresses
Teaming knee-high boots with a midi dress in a neutral hue is effortless. This fall, consider a knit iteration.
Knee-High Boots + Miniskirts
This ensemble is so elegant with the boots, miniskirt, and polished textured jacket.
Knee-High Boots With Skinny Jeans
Baggy jeans are currently the go-to for many, but skinny jeans are a classic choice—especially with knee-high boots.
