With leggings and knee-high boots, these boots are a great choice.
- Combining knee boots and leggings is a great combination. This is especially true if you don’t want your pants to be hemmed!
- The knee-high boot is back in fashion for Winter and Fall. After being overshadowed by a taller, above-the-knee boot for a few seasons, the knee-high boot is back in fashion.
- A straight-leg knee boot is my favorite. I love it with simple black leggings, loose blouses and an oversized jacket. A matching Ponte knit legging pants and a fitted blazer can be paired. The blazer is cinched at the waist with a leather belt.
- These boots look great with jeans and simple black leggings. Adding a basic bodysuit and an oversized sweater can make you everyday look more casual.
- If it is cold, you can add a floral maxi or chunky knit dress to your pair of knee-high boots and leggings. If you don’t like pants, this is a great way of covering your rear ends with leggings.
