Are Over-The-Knee Boots In Style?
They are indeed, and while you should have a variety of different boots and shoes in your footwear arsenal, thigh-high boots are making a statement this fall. But there are a few dos and don’ts you should keep in mind:
DO
- Go for a block heel.
- Show some skin between your hemline and the top of your boot.
- Wear tights if it’s really cold.
- If in doubt, match the tights to your boots, not your dress.
DON’T
- Go super tight with the dress, unless you are pairing it with a vest, jacket, or wrap of some sort.
- Go for stilettos with pointy toes
- Do platform thigh highs… it’s just too much.
- Wear thigh-high boots in the middle of summer – wait for the right season!
Dresses to Wear With Thigh-High Boots
We have put together 10 of the best dress and thigh-high boot looks for you, and we’ll show you how you can put them together.
Look 1 – Fall Boho Casual
Boho will never go out of fashion. Geometric prints, fringed handbags, and anything with a 70s retro feel play into the boho vibe. A long-sleeved, printed tunic in the dark, rich colors of the season and thigh-high boots in beige suede are a perfect combo.

Look 2 – Belted Button-Down Dress With Over-The-Knee Boots
A belted button-down dress is always classic and looks great paired with gorgeous thigh-high boots. The belt is key if you want a more sophisticated look, as opposed to looking like you left the house and forgot to put your pants on.

Look 3 – Off the Shoulder T-shirt Dress and Leather Wrap Belt
Again here, the belt here is key to making this a more polished outfit.

Look 5 – 2-Tone Skater Dress with Leather Jacket
Skater dresses are super hot style, and they don’t look like they’re going anywhere anytime soon. A 2-toned skater dress gives you the look of separates without the hassle.
You could just as easily get this look from a separate top and a skater skirt.
A black top and black boots with a cropped black leather jacket are a classic combo. With the skirt in a different color or pattern, you will break things up a bit and add a little interest to your ensemble.

Look 6 – Billowy Sweater Dress
Sweater dresses of all shapes and styles are great for fall and winter, and none comfier than this version! It is like your favorite, most comfy sweater… just a little longer.
All you need to do is put on a pair of thigh-high boots and you’ve got an instant outfit with only 2 pieces of clothing! Low maintenance, comfortable and stylish.
Those are three words that aren’t used very often in the same sentence.

Look 7 – Long Sleeve Ruched Dress and Oversized Scarf Wrap
There’s nothing like bold color to ring in the new season and this orange, ruched dress does this perfectly. The oversized scarf doubles as a wrap for when the weather gets a little chilly.
And when you pair those with taupe suede thigh-high boots, you’ve got yourself an outfit. Taupe is one of those colors that goes with everything, so you will get more use out of a neutral-colored boot, like taupe, black or brown because they will go with more outfits.

Here’s how to put this look together:
Look 9 – Black Turtleneck Mini with Faux Fur Vest
