What To Wear With Over-The-Knee Boots

The temptress leather look is in, big time, and nothing gets that message across better than a dramatic over the knee boot. The problem is, a pair of up-to-there boots can quickly make your innocent little black dress look not quite so innocent. So, here's how we're toning down this style of the moment and making it work with our style.

See where to buy the pieces - four are under $100.

To combat the boot's sexy overtones, choose a slightly more reserved tone and either a modest heel (no sky-high stilettos ladies, you are not Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman) or none at all. Next, try a comfy pair of leggings for easy boot tuckage and an oversized shirt to counter balance the sex appeal of your footwear. To complete the look, we'd try some of the other big fall trends with a unique denim jacket and a lightweight scarf in a fun print.

Many, many years ago in London I bought a pair of black, over-the knee-boots with a three or four inch heel. Usually I wore them with shortish skirts and simple tops. And, as they were a bit over the top, they mainly saw nightclubs and parties, not the light of day. One never likes to frighten the horses!

I also love to pair over-the knee boots with opaque tights and skirts. flowy tops always balance out the look. I also think a printed scarf of statement jewelry helps to balance out the look from being focused completely on the boots itself.
