Over-the-Knee Boots Are Making a Comeback—Here are 5 Fresh Ways to Style Them

Though certainly not a new cold-weather trend, over-the-knee boots are back in a big way this season. The towering style was spotted on a myriad of fall/winter 2024 runways and showgoers during Fashion Week last February, solidifying its place as the reigning shoe du jour.

At Chloé, sleek thigh-highs stole the spotlight paired with flowy, sheer chiffon dresses. Meanwhile, brands like Gucci and Fendi proved that over-the-knee boots can also lend panache to more tailored pieces, like polished mini skirts and suit separates.

No matter what kind of vibe you’re going for, the best over-the-knee boots are actually quite versatile. For even more inspiration, we’ve gathered five fresh to style thigh-highs that prove they deserve a prime spot in your rotation.

With a Boho-Style Dress

Boho-chic fashion is having a renaissance. Nail the look with a moody floral-print dress and Chloé’s sleek maroon leather thigh-highs. Topped off with an of-the-moment chocolate brown bag, this is an easy outfit formula for just about any occasion.

With Preppy Pieces

Gucci’s iconic horsebit riding boots are a preppy staple in their own right, but to really play up the posh vibes, pair them with a tailored blazer, fitted turtleneck, and pleated mini skirt.

With Cozy Knits

Nothing says fall quite like soft textures. Loulou’s cropped cashmere cardigan and Siedrés’ trendy knit micro-shorts make the perfect cozy complements to Clergerie’s suede over-the-knee boots. Cinch the look together by adding on some coordinating tortoiseshell sunnies, like this flattering oval-shaped pair from Elisa Johnson.

With a Suit Set

Here’s a sharp outfit idea that’s perfect for the office and beyond. The Frankie Shop’s forest green suit set and Reformation’s rich croc-embossed boots are a match made in heaven. Simply finish the ensemble with pared-back accessories, like Jennifer Fisher’s tastefully chunky gold ring.

For dressier occasions, try styling some thin-heeled thigh-highs with a slinky gown. Keep the look streamlined with some simple silvery accessories that add just the right amount of shine.
