How Do I Style Knee-High Boots?

As the wind gets chillier and the coats get longer, 'tis the season to bust out your favorite boots. We’re big fans of the knee-high variety, but we admit they're not always the easiest to style without a little fashion inspiration. While you can, of course, throw them on with anything in your wardrobe, we’ve found that there are a few key items that go especially well with knee-high boots.

Take a cue from fashion blogger Nnenna Echem and style your knee-high boots with a midi skirt and chunky sweater. Nnenna is sporting the Vagabond Brooke Knee-High Boots here, but any black boots with a chunky heel or platform will do. If you live in an area that stays warm during the summer-to-fall transition, borrow some inspiration from blogger Jessica Skye and try pairing your knee-high boots with an oversized sweater and dressier shorts. This is a look that pairs well with both a heeled boot, such as the Madden Girl Winslow Boot, or even a flat if you prefer more of a riding boot look. 

As the weather continues to cool down, we never get tired of wearing knee-high boots with a mid-length trench coat, just like blogger Coco Bassey. A good trench coat goes with so many items, but as Coco proved, it looks especially chic with a pair of heeled knee-high boots and a top-handle bag. It's a simple and polished combination that we saved almost immediately for inspiration. If you want to try this look for yourself, The Drop's Gemini Tall Heeled Boots are just the ticket.
