12 Ways to Wear Over-the-Knee Boots

When it’s cold outside, one way to stay warm is by wearing over-the-knee boots.  Besides covering your legs with short dresses and skirts, they also add a layer of warmth over leggings or skinny pants and even under maxi skirts and dresses.  So age doesn’t matter.  Any woman can enjoy them and keep her look up-to-date.

I have a pair of flat, tan, over-the-knee (OTK) boots like these:

These boots are casual and go well with skinny cords or destroyed skinny jeans or light-colored skinny jeans, as well as with plaid shirts.  Other casual OTK boots are those that have flat or low heels and those that are made of suede.

Black  and heeled OTK boots are more common.  They tend to be considered sexy, but there are ways to wear them that make them perfectly acceptable.

No matter what kind you may have, OTK boots are great for covering your legs for warmth and modesty when wearing a short dress or skirt.  They serve the same purpose over leggings or skinnies and an oversize top or tunic.

OTK boots go with:  tea-length, 70’s inspired dresses; sweater dresses; short skirts or dresses; long skirts or dresses with a slit; culottes or cropped pants/jeans; skinnies and an over-sized chunky knit sweater, including open knits; leggings and a tunic or over-sized top; with a kimono jacket and skinnies/leggings; or even with shorts.

OTK boots are good for transitional weather in spring and fall as well. One example would be to wear a short dress or skirt with a slouchy cardigan or jacket with your OTK boots.

Here are some outfit combinations to give you some ideas on how to wear OTK boots:

1. A tunic sweater + brown or ivory leggings or light-colored skinny jeans.  Add a slouchy scarf + tan OTK boots + a fedora + sunglasses.
2. A tunic top + a cropped sweater or jacket + print leggings.  Add flat OTK boots.
3. A long plaid shirt + skinny jeans + OTK boots.  You may want to leave the shirt open over a t-shirt.
4. A brown sweater + short brown suede skirt.  Add sheer stockings or bare legs or over-the-knee socks with OTK boots.
5. A jean jacket + a shell + a short black leather skirt.  Add black OTK boots.
6. An over-sized t-shirt + a shrunken blazer + skinny jeans + OTK boots.
7. An over-sized shirt + leggings + a denim jacket.  Add a lightweight scarf + OTK boots.
8. A long white t-shirt + jeans inside OTK boots + a leather jacket.
9. A long graphic t-shirt over skinny jeans inside OTK boots.
10. A boyfriend cardigan + a tank top + leggings + OTK boots.  Good for going out for coffee or meeting a friend for lunch.
11. A sequined dress + OTK boots.  Add a cuff bracelet or jewelry of choice.
12. A sequined dress + a jean jacket + OTK boots.
