How To Style Over-The-Knee Boots, A Wardrobe Staple

Because of their stature, over-the-knee boots are a bigger commitment — not just monetarily but also because of how much real estate they take up in a look. Of the many factors to consider, material will determine their versatility: Buttery leather thigh-highs are more suitable for autumn and winter, while soft suedes and stretch knits are more year-round. Colour, too, is an important consideration. Neutral brown, black and burgundy styles are a safe bet for everyday wear, while a bright or printed boot can make a big statement with little effort.
