Leg Coverage

One of the reasons I gravitate towards OTK boots is because they are a good compromise between too much leg and pantyhose. Maybe you want to rock a mini dress (as seen here) but you do not want to introduce another texture, stockings for example, into the mix. An over the knee boot will provide you with that moderate coverage. The same goes for short shorts and mini skirts as demonstrated in the featured look.

Chic Appeal

It is no secret that wearing a pair of OTK boots will up your chic appeal about 100%! But don’t take my word for it, just scroll through #overthekneeboots on Instagram and see for yourself. Today’s ensemble would have been far less dramatic without the shoes. Ain’t nobody got time for that!

Practical

Over the knee boots come in many colors, heel heights, and fabrics. I guess you can call them a “practical purchase!” Fashionistas world wide are wearing flat OTK boots with leggings and jeans, heeled OTK boots with dresses and skirts, and vice versa. Textures range from soft suede, brushed leather, to shiny metallic. Go ahead, splurge on a few pairs…I won’t judge you! Stay tuned to see how I styled my red suede OTK boots on Thursday.

I love a look that can easily go from day to night. One easy way of accomplishing this is by putting together an ensemble that looks equally fabulous in flats or heels. My hubby and I worked from home Monday, so I needed an outfit that was appropriate for a causal lunch date, as well as a night out at the symphony. Rather than making an outfit change after dinner, I pieced together a look that would match with my Hunter rain boots and my Stuart Weitzman over the knee boots.

Chomping at the bit to wear my new v-neck sweater from Current Clothing, I paired it with a maroon mini dress…a chunky sweater and jeans never disappoints, but after a serious case of the Mondays, I was in the mood for something different. I added dimension by incorporating a high neck dress underneath the low cut sweater. I adorned myself with a matching maroon clutch, black tassel earrings, a bubble umbrella, and a top knot – muggy weather and flat iron curls do not like each other. For lunch at Roam, I rocked my fringe Hunter boots, and when it was time to head to the symphony, I slipped into black over the knee boots.

Just like that I stepped up my wet weather game without sacrificing style! Text Nancy (415)980-4772 of Current Clothing to order this sweater ($58) and dress ($68), or shop similar boots here and this bubble umbrella here.
