It can be hard to bridge the gap between classy, and well, not so classy, with women’s over the knee boots. Wearing the thigh-high boot can be a bit intimidating, as it has historically had a risqué stigma attached to it. And, perhaps this is the reason why purchasing women’s over the boots is such a risky investment for many gals. So how do you take something that has so much attitude and sex appeal and make it elegant and fun for an everyday outfit? Well, thankfully many stylish celebrities like Kristin Cavallari and Aimee Song have exemplified just how to nail these trends without any risky business involved, ahem, remember those famous thigh high boots that Julia Roberts wore in Pretty Woman? That’s right, we’re going to show you how to wear women’s over the boots in a chic street style manner plus we have some tips to choosing the right boots for your body type.
Whether you seek leather over the knee boots or soft suede over the knee boots, here are a few key tips to remember when searching for the perfect thigh-high boot.
- Tip 1 –Find a pair that is fitting to your height. The length of the material from the heel to thigh is definitely a factor to consider. In general, the top of the boot should end just above (about an inch or so) above the knee. You don’t want to purchase a boot that your legs will be drowning in.
- Tip 2 — Invest in a high quality material. Because the over-the-knee has so much material, you want to make sure this material is one of quality. Hence, for a polished and clean look, avoid low-quality material such as PVC leather and cheap looking, faux suede.
- Tip 3 — Have fun with it! This style is such a statement, you don’t want to miss out on an opportunity to wear something with so much sass. Pick a soft leather or brushed suede in a color that best suits you.
