High boots can be chic and trendy when worn correctly. Discreet but sensual, they can be the highlight of a suit. The thin and tight ones make the legs look particularly long. Combined with tight trousers and a soft top, they will look even more slender. Whether you choose a classic riding style, a shiny and sexy pair to go around the club or cowboy boots, it can undoubtedly enrich your wardrobe.
Steps
Part 1 of 3: Valuing the Boots
Step 1. Show off the cuissard boots
Being very tall, they will be the highlight of any outfit and will draw attention to the legs.
- Combined with a short skirt or a pair of tight pants, they are particularly accentuated. You can also wear them in other ways, for example under a long skirt, but the effect will not be the same.
- If you want to tone down the sensuality of these shoes a little, make the skirt or dress overlap the boots by about 3 cm. Make sure you prefer shoes with discreet decorations and colors. The high leather boots have a sophisticated air, absolutely less brash and sensual than a red and shiny pair.
Step 2. Pair over-the-knee boots with opaque stockings or leggings, which often slim and shape the legs
When temperatures drop, they also keep you warm.
- Pair colorful or printed leggings with a pair of black or brown boots - the legs, leggings and footwear will attract attention.
- If you choose more original boots (models at calf or knee height are preferable for this purpose), wear more discreet leggings or socks.
Step 3. Pair tight jeans with high boots
Slip the pants into the boots to make them stand out. Skinny jeans hug your curves, so together with boots they help slim and slim your legs.
- Don't tuck your baggy, flared or bell-bottomed jeans into your boots, or they will wrinkle.
- However, you can wear flared or boot-cut jeans over the boots so that only the foot part is visible.
Step 4. Pair the boots with a mini skirt
You can choose a discreet brown, black or gray, but also be daring with a phosphorescent color. It is possible to give the impression of showing a good part of the legs without dressing excessively skimpy.
-
Pay attention to the end result and its consequences. A very short skirt paired with a pair of high boots is not suitable for an office, even if it is not provocative after all. Choosing a classic pencil skirt that reaches just above the knees is preferable.
Wear Tall Boots Step 4 - Matching opaque stockings to the miniskirt and boots gives a touch of class to the outfit. Among other things, they will keep you warm in autumn and winter.
- Going out without leggings or stockings is bolder and shows off your legs. It's a nice look for going out at night or when it's warmer.
Step 5. Over the weekend you can be more daring
If you want boots to be the centerpiece of an outfit worn to go dancing, go for colorful designs, embellished, unusual or otherwise daring materials.
-
You have to learn to distinguish between over the top but fabulous models and ridiculous models. This distinction depends on personal tastes and needs. One woman may love a pair of crimson boots with stiletto heels and decorated with chains, while another may find it tacky.
Wear Tall Boots Step 5 - If you can walk in high heels (and be sure to practice before going to a club), choose knee-high stiletto heel boots. It is guaranteed that all eyes will be on you, especially if you pair them with a little dress or skirt.
- The studs, chains and cutouts on the material the boot is made of are all interesting decorations.
- You can also try boots in bold colors. They are difficult to carry during the day, but ideal for going to a club. Crimson, vibrant purple and even yellow are original and will be eye catching.
Part 2 of 3: Introduce the Boots into the Wardrobe
Step 1. Put on your knee boots to go to work
They allow you to freshen up the look, so you don't always wear ballet flats or high heels. Choose a sophisticated and discreet model, suitable for a work environment. Reserve the shiny and colorful ones for the weekend.
- Pair them with purely autumnal fabrics, such as tweed, wool and cashmere. For example, wear a tweed midi skirt and a cashmere sweater. The style will be discreet, perfect for going to work or school.
- You can also combine them with a pencil skirt and a fitted shirt. In the colder months, cover up with a cardigan.
Step 2. Make the cuissard boots more discreet
Above-the-knee styles are great for showing off your legs, but the combination shouldn't be too bold. When in doubt, choose a longer skirt, or wear tights or leggings.
- Try brown or black leather boots for a sophisticated and classic result. The bright colors, prints and finishes should be postponed to more informal occasions.
- Wear a skirt that reaches your shins or ankles. It will cover the boots and show only part of them. At the same time, footwear will keep you warm and protect you. This way you can also create varied looks.
Step 3. Put on cowboy or horse riding boots
They are recommended to give an informal touch to the combination.
- Pair them with skinny pants (like tight jeans) or clean-lined leggings.
- Cowboy boots are quite a regional fashion trend, for example they are very popular in Texas. Being uncommon elsewhere, carrying them isn't always easy, so pair them well.
- For a Western-inspired look, pair a pair of cowboy boots with smooth, skinny pants or tight jeans (ripped jeans are ideal) and a blouse.
- In autumn you can also combine them with leggings and a sweater or knit dress.
- Boots of this type, especially cowboy ones, are perfect for playing down a very feminine outfit. They can help create a good balance with a ruffled or floral dress. It is an ideal look for spring.
Step 4. The jeans can be matched with almost any model
Being a versatile piece of clothing, it is possible to make it informal or formal depending on the shoe. You can show the boots (as is the case with skinny jeans) or hide them by wearing the pants over the top.
- In autumn or winter you can create an informal look like this: wear ripped skinny jeans, black suede and pleated boots, a chunky knit braided pullover.
- For a more elegant style, pair a nice shirt with plain suede or leather boots. Wear tight dark jeans. It is a recommended look for a first date.
- The only model that usually does not go with jeans is the cuissard. It is preferable to wear it with short skirts or leggings.
Part 3 of 3: Choosing the Right Boots
Step 1. Avoid boots that have a too loose top edge
Some models are softer, but you should generally avoid saggy ones. Boots should be comfortable but snug. You should have enough space to put on tight jeans or leggings, but without the boots dancing on you.
Step 2. Avoid boots that end at the widest part of the leg
This tip is especially true for women who don't like their legs. If you think you have thick thighs, don't wear boots that reach mid-thigh. The horizontal border line will make them appear even wider. Instead, go for boots that are knee-high or slightly above the knee.
Step 3. Choose boots that fit your height
Tall women can afford tall and short models of all kinds. The shorter ones should opt for boots with heels, especially thin ones, as it helps to slim.
- Shorter women should also choose tight-fitting boots that hug the leg well. Soft ones can make the leg look more stocky.
- If you are short, remember that proportions are key. Slip your jeans into a pair of high boots and pair them with a cropped jacket. If you choose a long overcoat, such as a trench coat, you will hide the body.
Step 4. Choose the right color
It can be difficult to do this, in fact there are many different colored boots. However, there are some factors to consider to understand which are the shades that best enhance your hair color and outfits. Gray is ideal for its versatility, while cognac brown not only looks more sophisticated, it can be paired with most suits.
- Consider which models would be the most versatile for you in terms of color. Of course black goes with everything, but you have to be careful. Black cuissard boots stand out very easily, so they may not be the best choice for going to work.
- An effective method is to consider the color and highlights of your hair, and then choose matching boots. Fashion experts say that in this way the eye will travel the entire length of the body, then moving the gaze from the boots to the hair. For example, if you have golden blonde hair, you might choose boots with a golden shimmer. If you have black hair, you can wear dark hair.
- You can also choose colors to match your outfits. If you tend to wear clothes in colors like beige or camel often, brown boots or hues like olive green will probably suit you best.
Step 5. Wear high boots all year round
They are usually relegated to autumn and winter fashion. On the other hand, it is possible to wear them in any season. For example, the cowboy ones are perfect with some summer dresses. The black and gothic ones are wearable even in midsummer.
- High boots worn in spring and summer should be reserved for evening outings. They will give a touch of class and style to a suit, plus they will attract attention because this season almost all wear only sandals or open shoes with heels.
- In spring you can combine a pair of high boots (like a black knee-length model) with a fresh and light dress perfect for the season. These two seemingly jarring fashion choices will balance each other out.
Advice
- Buy boots at the end of a long day. Your feet will be a little more swollen at this point, but this will help you get a good idea of how you will feel after wearing them all day.
- In the fall you can try to have an original look by layering Parisian on jeans or leggings, so that they slightly protrude from the boots.
- Balance accessories by drawing attention to the neck or face. A pair of large earrings, a flashy necklace or a colorful scarf can enrich the top of the outfit and keep the look from weighing down on the bottom.
- Black leather and dark suede give a touch of class and can make a suit more elegant.
