Over-the-Knee Boots: Your Closet’s Newest BFF

Over-the-knee boots (a.k.a. this season’s most raved-about shoes) are more versatile than you think. With a range of heel heights, colors, and materials, these statement makers have come a long way since their Pretty Woman fame. And when paired with the right outfits, they can be worn just about anywhere – yes, even at the office. Get inspired below, then grab your own pair.

For Work

OTK boots can be 9-to-5 appropriate – just make sure you aren’t exposing too much skin. Pair them with a conservative long-sleeve shift dress for an office-friendly outfit.

For Brunch

Let’s be honest – if we’re getting up for brunch, we’re going in a comfy outfit. Thigh-high boots in suede, a broken-in pair of skinnies, and an oversized chunky knit create a look that’s put together and cozy.

For Date Night

High-rise boots are inherently sexy, so keep the rest of your ensemble on the toned-down side. Think: a sweet fit-and-flare dress with a sleek moto jacket for a perfectly balanced look.
