Knee-High Boots...I Can't Figure Them Out!
I just bought my first pair of knee-high boots. I had been wanting some for a while, but either I didn't have the money or it wasn't the right season.
So I bought some about a month ago and so far have failed to wear them successfully outside my apartment.
It's not that I don't like them or can't walk in them. It's just that I have no idea what to wear them with!
I know I could buy a pair of skinny jeans, but I haven't gotten around to that yet. I can't find anything else to pair these boots with, and it's driving me nuts!
Any suggestions?

Depending on your shape, you can either pair them with skinny jeans, leggings, or a skirt.....a nice pencil skirt (or a mini if you're young enough
) with black opaque tights would look incredible!
I've worn mine with a cute dress that comes down to just above my knees. I'm also going to try the leggings/long shirt/dress and belt combo, but have to wait for the temps to get above freezing.
Do you have any capris? It sounds silly, but trust me, no one will ever know if you tuck them into the boots. I do it all the time (and they look fabulous, if you were curious) :)
Leggings and a longer top are your other best option.
You can also get away with jeans, but you have to be creative. Depending on the jeans, if you tuck the bottoms into a pair of socks, they'll stay and you'll be able to pull the boots over them. Again, depends on the jeans and how wide the boots are.
My knee-highs are my favorite pair of shoes. :) Just experiment.
Casual knee length or higher dress.
Or tights and longer shirt to cover your tushie :)
mid-thigh dress & tights :]
leggings is what I would pair them with. Some people pair them with dresses and skirts, but I don't like that look.
Im not going to lie, i laughed at first when i read "knee high boots, i cant figure them out" and then i read your blog and then i thought about myself, I too have knee high boots and rarely wear them, I usually wear them when its really cold outside under my jeans, but I'll try them on with skirts or a dress and honestly I feel slutty. But I agree with the other ladies, leggings or skinny jeans :)
ah every girl has the same opinion haha. a simple skirt, possibly not jean so you dont look like a cowgirl lol. and a cutee pair or designed pantyyhoes. :) with possibly a plain whitee button down.
oooh hawt. i'd buy a pair just to wear around the house with nothing but something skimpy on around the mister. provided the kid's at a playdate.
look at celebrity pics and see what they wear em with. but i think the norm is to wear it with skinny jeans. mine aren'y quite as high as those in the pic... and it's high heeled, and i wore it with a black flowy skirt for work. I also tried with tight black capris with kind of a long top.... tights are good too with a dress of anything. :] good luck!
If you choose to wear the boots over jeans or leggings, I have found that for the top it looks pretty good to wear with a long cardigan that is not too thick and a little bit loose. It looks better in general if the cardigan is not simply one of those oversized ones but actually has a slight bit of a waist.
I wear mine with sweater dresses that hit right above the knee...but only for special occasions, haha.
Just tuck your jeans into the boots.
leggings.
holy shit.
then why the hell did you buy them.
before you buy something make sure it at least matches something else.
I'm in the same boat, except I'm shortish and pear-shaped so I'm terrified of skinny jeans (the dreaded "ice cream cone" effect).
The boots are fabulous though, so I'm determined to figure it out eventually. So far my only moderately successful outfit is a dark denim pencil skirt, opaque tights, and a light grey/blue faux wrap sweater to keep it from looking trampy.
I only wear mine with skinny jeans.
leggings looks fabulous with them, especially if you have a long peacoat
leggings and a short sweater dress would go nicely i guess...but im not a fan of knee high boots to begin with
I usually wear mine with a skirt. They're not skinny enough to fit under a pair of jeans without bulging a bit, and most of my pants don't go well when the leg is stuffed inside the boot.
I've become obsessed with wearing my knee-high boots with black tights and a patterned dress, with a chunky sweater thrown over the whole thing. It's one of my favorite alternatives to skinny jeans and a t-shirt, and I still make good use of a rather expensive investment.
send me your boots nd i will do wonders in them.
kthx
I am a little uneasy with the skirts and dresses paired with knee high boots. But that could just be ME.
I would have to mock everyone who suggested leggings and skinny jeans.
knee-high boots are perfect with mini skirt and a cute top and a posh trench coat over it (depending on the weather of course)
or you can even wear them with a classy short dress
A mini skirt or shorter dress.
A-line dresses, skirts just above the knees and skinny jeans. Until then, maybe you should just wear your jeans over your boots and make them look like normal shoes until you can get a pair of skinnies or leggings to go with them?
