Yahoo Lifestyle Over-the-knee boots are making a comeback — here are 5 ways to style them
Though certainly not a new cold-weather trend, over-the-knee boots are back in a big way this season. The towering style was spotted on a myriad of autumn/winter 2024 catwalks and show attendees during Fashion Week last February, solidifying its place as the reigning shoe du jour.
At Chloé, sleek thigh-highs stole the spotlight paired with flowy, sheer chiffon dresses. Meanwhile, brands like Gucci and Fendi proved that over-the-knee boots can also lend panache to more tailored pieces, like polished mini skirts and suit separates.
No matter what kind of look you're going for, the best over-the-knee boots are actually quite versatile. For even more inspiration, we've gathered five ways to style thigh-highs that prove they deserve a prime spot in your rotation.
With a boho-style dress
Boho-chic fashion is having a renaissance. Nail the look with a moody floral-print dress and Chloé's maroon over-the-knee boots. Topped off with an of-the-moment chocolate brown suede bag, this is an easy outfit formula for just about any occasion.
