Fashion-conscious women fall into two categories. The first are those who have purchased over the knee boots in advance and are waiting for the onset of cold weather to demonstrate the new thing in all its glory. The second one is just looking at different models thinking about what to wear them under.

Regardless of who you are, our review will help you find out what stylists advise wearing over the knee boots with. Remember the main thing: according to the impression that beautiful high boots make on others, not a single women's shoe can compete with them. So feel free to hit the road without being embarrassed by the assessing looks of passers-by.

At the height of style

Over the knee boots are usually called boots with tops that cover the knees. They can have lapels or rise to mid-thigh. Today, these shoes have completely migrated from the men's wardrobe to the women's wardrobe and feel very comfortable there. There are plenty of variations of over-the-knee boots: leather and suede, stiletto and platform, winter and summer. Each model has its own nuances in choosing what clothes to wear it with.

At the end of the 20th century, over the knee boots turned from provocative shoes into everyday ones. The defiant outfits that accompanied them were firmly pushed aside by more relaxed clothes. The stylists started playing with color palette, the shape of the heel and toe, decorate the tops with studs, buckles, belts, lacing, fringe, fur, etc.

Gradually, over the knee boots have gained the status of universal footwear for women of any position and age. Undoubtedly, they do not leave men's hearts indifferent. Whether your image will be outrageous or elegant depends on what clothes complement the overall set.

Given the controversial reputation, high boots are capricious in combination with other wardrobe items. What to wear with over the knee boots to avoid comparison with the "crazy empress"? Consider the most win-win options.

Treads and dress

Such boots will make an expressive ensemble with a dress, of course, if it is chosen correctly. The image is most harmonious with loose-fitting models, although there are interesting exceptions here. For example, boots that go under a classic sheath dress look quite democratic and impressive. The rounded toe and narrow shaft will only add to your elegance.

If the owner of the boots intends to become a style icon, she needs to follow a few golden rules:

  1. The gap between the floors of clothing and the upper edge of the boots should not exceed 10-15 cm. It is risky to wear shorter options, as this can be misinterpreted. If you still decide to take such a step, choose a closed, restrained model.
  2. Choose tights or stockings to match the color of your boots. It is better if they are dense, without a pattern and mesh.
  3. Avoid revealing tight dresses, open backs and low-cut tops.
  4. Since over the knee boots draw attention to themselves, do not burden the impression with extravagant clothing, massive jewelry, acid colors.
  5. For a business dress code, a midi skirt is optimal, barely covering the top of the boots. In winter, a woolen dress with long sleeves, shown in the photo, will be appropriate.

Ensemble with a skirt

In combination with a skirt, the same principles apply as with a dress. The miniskirt looks somewhat ambiguous, especially if it is made of leather and fits the hips, while the maxi makes the silhouette bulky. In addition, the combination with a long skirt optically shortens the legs. Choose something in between.

Those who want to appear more graceful should take a closer look at models with a high fit: complete with over the knee boots, they visually slim. A very attractive ensemble with a large-knit sweater, from under which a chiffon skirt playfully peeks out.

Treads paired with jeans

The only appropriate model for such boots is skinny. The correct color scheme is gray, dark blue, black, but not blue or bright blue. Jeans fans will be able to find their image in the photo.

As a top for a denim ensemble, an elongated tunic, turtleneck with a sweater or cardigan below the hip line is suitable. For those who do not like to layer clothes, we advise you to purchase skinny with a high waist. If you choose an overcoat as outerwear, then such an image will fit into the popular military style.

Stylish leggings plus over the knee boots

For owners slim figure fashion designers do not deny the right to wear over the knee boots in combination with leggings. In this case, a long sweater, a knitted or knitted cardigan over a shirt (tunic) will be the best top. The colors of leggings and boots must match. Therefore, when purchasing extravagant burgundy or purple pieces, do not forget to get leggings or tights of the same color. If you don't want to think about what to wear under unusual colors, choose black classics.

Leather leggings with over the knee boots have already left fashion shows. It is only possible to return in a new capacity. Those who disagree with this state of affairs are advised to choose super-concise outerwear for leather leggings.

Treads and trousers

The gold standard for all times is tight-fitting trousers and boots with a looser top. Under the over the knee boots, it is better to wear pants in muted shades. In some reviews, there are combinations of dark boots with beige (white) skinny trousers. To some experts, this appearance is reminiscent of the clothes of a rider or court hunting.

A fresh trouser option, combined with over the knee boots - culottes, which conquered the catwalks in the new season. In this case, on the contrary, the over the knee boots should be narrow, fit the leg tightly and not puff up under the culottes.

High boots with short shorts

Great idea for those who want to demonstrate slender legs. We recommend paying attention to the current models of an intricate cut with a high waist. We do not recommend wearing tight or outrageously short shorts with over the knee boots: such a tandem will look vulgar. Top - multi-layered, free cut.

The charm of heels

A stiletto heel and high-heeled boots require a critical review of the contents of the wardrobe. To eliminate even a slight accent of vulgarity, follow these recommendations.

Heeled boots are best worn with:

  • spacious midi length dresses, without deep cutouts;
  • flared skirts and complex silhouettes;
  • from outerwear, a classic coat and a raincoat over the knee are preferred.

Overly shortened skirts, shorts, fishnet tights, frank asymmetric details, leopard prints, fur trim and rhinestones fall under an unspoken ban.

In other words, a high heel obliges to be strict in clothes. Avoid tight silhouettes and opt for layered tops. Such a combination will soften the defiant style of shoes and give the look a touch of bohemian sophistication.

In the photo, a large-knit hat and scarf are in perfect harmony with an elegant handbag and a classic coat.

As an evening out, over the knee boots with heels are more variable. They can be worn with bold styles and paired with a vibrant color palette.

Treads without a heel: stylish and comfortable

The latest over the knee fashion trend: low or coarse heels, no-frills bootlegs, suede materials. In the realities of the long Russian winter, such a casual option will please many compatriots who will appreciate the convenience of a flat sole in slush and ice.

Universal over the knee boots will not only protect the legs of fragile girls from low temperatures, but also give them freedom of movement. They can be safely sent for a walk, excursion or train out of town. It is right to choose clothes for them according to the strength of even inexperienced fashionistas. After all, winter boots without a heel do not initially seem vulgar.

Create relaxed, comfortable looks:

  • with loose-fitting dresses and cardigans;
  • skirts (straight, elongated, with a slit);
  • warm shorts;
  • leggings and shirts (tunics, blouses);
  • jeans and cozy knitted sweaters.

Short girls will look more spectacular in low-heeled boots, complete with short dresses and skirts.

How to wear over the knee stockings?

Stocking boots are perhaps the most non-trivial kind of over the knee boots. They got their name because, like stockings, they fit tightly around the legs. Romantic girls choose models from suede, and those who aspire to the image of a fatal beauty - from kid leather. Treads stockings visually stretch the silhouette, so they are ideal for owners of not thin legs.

The combination rules for this type of boots are the same, but with a few caveats. They should not be worn with jeans and leggings. Also, stylists recommend that the bottom of the dress slightly cover the bootleg, as shown in the photo.

Stockings over the knee boots are worn with skirts, dresses and shorts that fit into the definitions of mini and midi. Like other models, it is better if they repeat the color of the outerwear or accessory. For a business style, you should prefer calmer shoe options.

How to wear boots with outerwear

Almost all types of clothing are suitable for such boots, with the exception of down jackets. Parkas and jackets also require careful selection to avoid flashy hues. At the height of fashion, the combination of over the knee boots with a fitted coat or trench coat. In tandem with leggings, the length of the coat is preferable below the knees, and with a skirt - knee-deep or slightly higher.

A practical everyday option for a cool autumn season - medium-length low-rise over the knee boots with tight-fitting trousers and a fitted jacket. A winning demi-season look with a touch of sophistication - a poncho with long gloves.

In winter, fur coats are best worn with warm suede over the knee boots. A hat or scarf-stole is a good refresher for a winter outfit. Over the knee boots go well with a knee-length sheepskin coat or an aviator model.

Get inspired and experiment! Try different combinations - and you will be surprised at the number of new impressive looks that over the knee boots will give you.

Prada, autumn-winter 17/18

Let me tell you about myself. I perceive over the knee boots exclusively in the style of "sport-chic": what Tommy Hilfiger designers offer, for example. I really like Rick Owens lambskin and cotton over the knee boots in a sporty style: a slip-on model with a round toe and a flat rubber sole. Here's mine! I love Stuart Weitzman over the knee boots - they are great! Crafted from luxurious stretch suede where the topline is secured with slim ties. The very serious length of such boots is compensated by a fitted, modest square heel and a calm rubber sole. In the autumn I sometimes “walk” them.

Rick Owens FW 17/18

I love over the knee boots in interesting colors - I think that they are much more elegant than black ones. I especially like the mouse gray color (or “shark skin” color) - it immediately ennobles the whole image.

In fact, over the knee boots are very democratic and practically "omnivorous" in terms of compatibility with other wardrobe items. But, as usual, it's all about the details, right? It is they who are able to turn a feminine and sexy image into an overly frivolous, frank or vulgar image. If you decide to “take this height” and buy over the knee boots, let’s figure out right away what you absolutely can’t wear them with (with what you can — there are plenty of tips on the Internet). But I’ll make a reservation right away: this is solely my opinion, which may not at all coincide with the opinion of the editors!

So…

tight dresses

Please, no tight dresses! For if you put on over the knee boots with a revealing tight-fitting dress (and also spice up this “splendor” with extended nails and hair, bright make-up and black leather jacket), you will get a typical vulgar image of a girl of easy virtue from a nightclub (not even a capital one, I note).

Puss in Boots style

Remember that in the case of over the knee boots, you can very quickly turn into a "puss in boots" - just one incorrectly selected detail is enough! Do not try to wear a "musketeer" hat, for example! I ask you to correctly place accents in the image!

Out of parameters

To be honest, long boots look advantageous on slender, tall girls with ideal parameters. If you are inclined to be overweight or can not boast of high growth, opt for classic boots or ankle boots. But if you absolutely want only over the knee boots, then choose models with heels with a length of at least mid-thigh to visually lengthen your legs.

With nude pantyhose

Forget about flesh-colored nylon tights! This combination will look too much, too inviting!

With a deep neckline

Leave the “cleavage + over the knee” duet for Nicki Minaj and her new videos! This is the height of vulgarity and completely unacceptable.

With lace

You should not wear over the knee boots with lace outfits (tops, blouses, bodysuits) - these provocative boots will give you a fair amount of sexuality, which will provide attention and admiring glances of the opposite sex. Wear them with wool, cashmere, knitwear for a feminine or casual look to balance the look.

With a fluffy hem

Don't wear boots on high heels With fluffy skirts and dresses - in such a situation, it is better to choose over the knee boots for flat sole or wedge.

With very short skirts

I won’t say that mini and over the knee boots are enemies forever, but still ... Be careful with the length! Mini-shorts made of jeans and over the knee boots sometimes look very sexy. But a short leather skirt and over the knee boots are often a failure.

Women's flat shoes are not only comfortable, but also stylish. Of course, the heel is always in fashion, but today many girls prefer comfort. In boots without a heel, you can walk all day without fear that your legs will hurt terribly in the evening. In addition, a low sole is much more beneficial for the foot than a high stiletto.

What's hot this year? To the delight of the girls in the autumn-winter season, designers presented a lot interesting options flat shoes. For example, the attention of fashionistas was attracted by boots with a free shaft, over the knee boots, with a square toe, military and with an original print.

In general, two main trends stand out: femininity and masculinity, which alternately replaced each other on the catwalk. Now we will discuss each shoe model and select a few stylish images. We will also talk about the types of boots and the most trendy colors this and next year.

Types of boots without a heel

Low running shoes are produced with different shaft lengths. This allows you to create fresh interesting outfits. What are the boots? In general, there are three types:

  • high;
  • short;
  • up to the knee.

High

The high boots include over the knee boots - autumn-winter shoes with a bootleg above the knee. They are lace-up, side lock and completely without it. Some models fit snugly around the legs, while others are sewn more freely.

Short

Demi-season ankle boots and warm winter uggs are representatives of short boots. They slip on quickly and are very comfortable for everyday wear. The shaft of this shoe is slightly higher than the ankle, as shown in the photo below.

up to the knee

Shoes with a shaft that ends just above the calf or at the knee itself are called knee-high boots. They visually slim and lengthen the legs, and also fit most outfits. What materials are low-soled boots made of? Most often they are made from suede, nubuck, denim and leather, which is also varnished.

For fashionable winter boots without a heel, a dense layer of insulation and a lining made of natural or faux fur are used. The outsole is made from thermoplastic rubber that can withstand the harsh cold. In autumn and spring positions, the fur lining is either absent or made of very fine pile.


Current trends and combinations

This season, models of boots without a heel are diverse and allow you to create delicate, rough, strict and casual original images. What shades are relevant? The color range includes the following tones:

  • white or milky;
  • black;
  • beige;
  • burgundy;
  • bright (raspberry, orange, fuchsia, metallic, golden).

Boots with a wide top

This year, accordion boots are relevant, with a straight wide top, as well as cowboy boots. They are universal, so they are suitable for slender and more curvaceous girls. This model is very convenient to wear on a wide ankle and voluminous calves. The loose shaft is comfortable to the foot and provides maximum comfort throughout the day.

Cowboy shoes are now taking on a more feminine shape. For example, designers decorate it with elegant buckles, fringe and flowers, as in the photo below. With what to wear boots without a heel with a free top? They go well with flying dresses, skirts, leggings and jeans.

Treads

High boots "came" to us from Spain. In the 17th century, they were worn by the military, for whom such shoes were very comfortable in battles. Today, boots with an elongated shaft emphasize slender female legs. In addition to aesthetics, these are also warm winter shoes that cover the legs from the cold wind almost along the entire length.

Treads should sit well on the leg, without squeezing it. They suit both tall and short girls. If your height is not very large, it is better not to take shoes with a thick fur lining, as it looks voluminous and visually only shortens. What to wear with long boots without a heel? For example, with skinny jeans, leggings, shorts, skirts, and dresses above or below the knee.


square toe

Square toe - hello from the 90s and early 2000s. Although there were many models with heels on the catwalks, there were still options for low speed. Perhaps not everyone will decide to buy such a pair of shoes, but if you like to experiment with looks, go for it. In addition, the square toe is great for women with wide feet.


It is better for short girls not to wear such shoes, as they visually make the legs look fat and reduce growth. Stylists recommend combining square flat boots with dresses and midi skirts. The shoes themselves can be decorated with oval and rectangular buckles.

Army

Rough shoes have become another trend of this and next year. Leading brands Christian Dior, Prada, Miu Miu, Alexander McQueen presented army boots on the catwalks. Soldier boots with elements of gothic and biker style are in fashion. Massive tractor soles, thick belts, chains and metal inserts are all essential attributes of rough models.

If you are not ready for such bold looks, you can choose something less flashy, without chains and metal tips. Fashionistas combine soldier boots without heels with romantic dresses, pencil skirts, midi and maxi. Army shoes are not recommended for girls with wide calves, since catchy elements (belts, buckles) will only emphasize voluminous legs.

Printed

Fashionable boots without a heel with prints are incredibly relevant. The original pattern focuses on shoes. A well-chosen image looks stylish and catches the eye. Popular prints are:

  • animal, reptile;
  • cell;
  • floral;
  • futuristic.

Shoes with this pattern will bring brightness and eccentricity to any look. The print creates a large field for experiments with bows. Wide trousers, flowing dresses below the knees and tight jeans will look great with leopard and snake boots or check and flower shoes.


Remember the famous Chanel plaid suits? So they sew them from tweed ( wool fabric with diagonal threads), which is now a popular material for creating shoes. Plaid motifs echoing in the outfit look very stylish and elegant. Thanks to the variety, every girl will be able to choose a model with a print she likes.

IN last years fashionable boots without a heel with sequins were not particularly successful. It is understandable: the trend is quite changeable and contradictory. However, this season, designers are calling to shine. For example, you can get warm ugg boots for the winter, covered with a layer of sequins.

What to wear with glitter heeled boots? In an image where shoes are too bright, it is better not to attract attention with additional expressive accents. Limit yourself to monochromatic restrained colors.


If you are worried that sparkling shoes will quickly go out of fashion, then get boots with minimalistic neat inserts. So the image will turn out moderately shining, and you will look stylish. Boots with sequins at low speed look relevant on slender and more curvaceous figures.


How to choose fashionable flat boots

In addition to these trends, when choosing shoes, it is worth considering its practicality and convenience. If during the fitting you have a feeling of discomfort and squeezing of the leg, it is better to refuse the purchase. Otherwise, due to tightness, the feet will hurt and constantly freeze in the winter cold, even in the most natural and insulated boots.

Choose shoes with a removable insole - this is a practical option, especially for our chilly weather. Such an insole can be taken out and dried or replaced with a new one. Some people prefer to put on heated insoles that will keep their feet warm for 4-8 hours.

With fashionable flat boots, it's easy to create an unusual and fresh look: from flying romantic to casual with masculine notes. In both cases, you will be in trend. So, if you are planning to update your wardrobe, take a closer look at low-speed shoes.
