10 Ways to Wear Your Knee-High Boots This Winter
Knee-high boots make their grand entrance into everybody’s wardrobe when fall rolls around. It’s inevitable. Sure, actually putting them on can be tricky if you don’t own a pair with zippers, but the final look is always the same: effortless. Whether you like to style them over your leggings or jeans, pair them with a minidress or an oversize sweater, they always elevate your look. However, when winter starts creeping in, styling them in different ways can become trickier, and they might fall into the jeans-and-leggings category too often for your own liking.
That’s why, to help inspire you for the winter days that are approaching, we’re looking at how some of our favorite Instagram style stars style their knee-high boots, from office-friendly ensembles and cozy commute outfits to holiday-approved looks and casual ones too. You’ll shy away from boring pairing and have countless ideas for how to wear them no matter how your calendar might be looking. So, to see if you’re more of an oversize coat–and-boots pairing type of girl, feel like you could pull off knee-boots over your jumpsuit, or will still dare to wear your miniskirt, scroll ahead to decide for yourself and start creating looks in your head.
