Knee High Time! And I Don’t Mean Socks
Sharing another seasonal trend with you all that I am sure will be huge this fall and winter: over the knee boots. I’ve already seen them in stores, seen them on women, and heard about my friends ordering them online. These are gonna be big, for all you boot lovers out there. Some of you might already have a pair waiting in the closet to be revealed. Do I like the trend? Sure. Sometimes I don’t like the idea of it. I guess because like any style of boot, they can be done wrong…but if you know what to wear them with and how to wear them, get on it.
Victoria’s Secret went and jumped on that bandwagon and has created several versions of the over the knee boot. They also have some Jessica Simpson styles too. Not a fan at all, but the boots are decent. Along with the over the knee style, there are also the covertible style boot which have a flap that can be folded over or pulled up so that they cover the knee slightly.
Victoria’s Secret Over the knee Hidden Platform Boot $169
I like these because they go almost to the thigh without looking trashy. They almost look like leggings with boots. The suede and leather combo is eyecatching as well. These of course would look great with a short skirt, but you must be careful if you choose this option. You don’t want to look schoolgirlish. These would also look fantastic with a dress that is medium length, a shift dress perhaps that is fitted, and top with a long sweater. These look too skinny to try to stuff denim jeans into, so I wouldn’t…unless they are extremely skinny.
I also like these convertible boots…
These come in a wide range of colors…the butterscotch are my favorite.

And these are the Jessica Simpson versions of over the knee boots…
Jessica Simpson Over the Knee Riding Boot $209
I have to admit…these are really cute styles. These are perfect for wearing with jeans tucked in and a white cotton button down men’s shirt. Top with a pretty scarf and long sweater vest, and you’ve got an equestrian inspired riding outfit. Outfits like that remind me of something I’d see on the runways at a Ralph Lauren show…all Americana.
