How to wear over the knee boots to create ultra stylish cold looks

Some accessories are always great to lift the look and leave it with much more personality. A nice bag, a nice necklace and…an amazing boot. With an over the knee boot, for example, the look cannot go unnoticed!

In Portuguese, “over the knee” means above the knee. That’s what the high-top boots are called, which go past the knee and reach the thighs. There are options on the market with super high or super low heels, leather or suede, black or colored.

Even with so much variety, the over the knee boot is not a very common piece in the wardrobe of Brazilian women, and combining them with clothes can be difficult for those who are not used to wearing the piece.

But there’s no need to be afraid: investing in an over the knee boot is betting on a much more stylish look.

How to wear an over-the-knee boot look

See below for tips, looks and lots of inspiration to adopt this piece in your look for colder days.

Over the knee boots with skirt or shorts

In fashion, each woman sets her own rules, but it is always possible to wear a trend in the best way for each body type. Short women, for example, gain more advantage if they wear over-the-knee boots with skirts and shorts. “Short women should bet on pants, skirts, shorts and socks, in shades similar to those of the boot, to elongate the silhouette and appear taller”, explains style consultant Josane Muriel.

The taller ones are also free to wear over the knee boots with a skirt or shorts. Depending on the pieces chosen, the look can be more glamorous or more casual.

Over the knee boot with dress

As with skirts, when paired with a dress, over the knee boots are also beautiful. However, it is necessary to choose well the model and the occasion. “This boot model has a slightly sexier feel, so it may not be the best option for formal environments such as workplaces, corporate events and fancy parties”, warns Josane.

She also gives a tip regarding the heel of the boot: those with thicker legs can create a better effect with thick heels – “thin ones, by contrast, end up highlighting the legs”.

Over the knee boot with leggings

When the pants are the same color as the boot, the look looks more harmonious and you look longer – and even thinner. Combining black leggings with a black over the knee boot, for example, makes the look super sophisticated and elegant.

For the style consultant, it is possible to wear leggings with models of boots that are very tight to the leg. You can vary the fabric of the boot – in addition to leather, it can also be made of neoprene or lycra.

Over the knee boot with jeans

Jeans, a day-to-day joker, also go well with over the knee boots. Just pay attention to the fact that it must be tighter, skinny style, or the hem won’t fit very well inside the boot.

“For those with thin legs, the tip is to opt for models that are wider in the legs. For those who want to visually tune this part of the body, fitted boots fit better. However, care must be taken so that the model is not too tight, appearing too tight or too small”, advises Josane.

Where to buy over the knee boots?

It is possible to find from the most exuberant boot to the most discreet and just like the styles, the prices are also very varied, catering to everyone’s pocket. Choose the model that best suits you and bet on one to add style to your winter look!

How to take care of your boot so it stays new longer

• If the boot is made of nubuck, apply a special waterproofing product for shoes before using it for the first time. If you use a lot, reinforce the waterproofing layer according to use if necessary. Thus, it is protected from stains.
• For the application of the product, the ideal is that you use it from 10cm to 15cm from the boot, repeating once for a better result.
• If your nubuck boot gets wet by accident, don’t despair! To dry it, the tip is to put paper towel inside it, to absorb the water.
• A special leather shampoo helps make your boots brighter again. But it has to be applied very carefully and delicately.
• To clean your boots, instead of using a cloth, try removing dirt with a soft, damp brush.
• If there is mold on the boot, the recipe for making it new is to apply a solution of four parts water to one part vinegar with a brush.
