Over the knee boots are the perfect footwear for the fall, winter, and spring. If you have a pair that you just can’t wait to wear out, look no further! We’ve compiled all the clothes you can wear with your boots to look fabulous every time you step out the door.

Show off your legs in a mini skirt.

  1. Get dressed up to go out and show off some skin. Pair your over the knee boots with a mini skirt that hits about mid-thigh.[1] Then, throw on a T-shirt or a tank top to complete your look. Accessorize with some dangly earrings and a few flashy rings to look cool and confident.[2]
    • Mini skirts are great for going out, but not so great for the office. Save this look for when you’re heading out on the town with friends.
    • Wear this look with your favorite heeled over the knee boots to elongate your legs.[3]

Wear skinny jeans for a casual, everyday look.

Stay cozy in a sweater dress.

  1. In the winter, stay cozy with your favorite dress and boots. Throw a sweater dress on that hits just above your knees, then pair it with your over the knee boots. If you’re dressing up, wear your heeled boots; if you’re staying casual, wear your flat ones. Add a statement necklace and a few bangles before you head out the door.[6]
    • Try contrasting the color of your dress with the color of your boots. For instance, if your boots are brown, go for a gray or bright-colored dress.
    • If your boots are black, try a light-colored neutral, like white, cream, or tan.
    • This is a good outfit to wear to work during the winter time.

    Oh, for sure! Try pairing jeans and a cardigan sweater, tucking a little t-shirt underneath it. Have the boots over your jeans to really show the full look, without hiding the boots.

    Definitely. Wear a skirt or dress with stockings and the over-the-knee boots on top of the stockings. Bonus points if you can match your stockings to your boots.

    In some cases, yeah. If paired with matching stockings, you can create a longer leg line so it doesn't feel like you're breaking up your leg in different parts with horizontal lines and different colors.
