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.

Whether you have a ladies luncheon, or baby shower coming up, this little number or something similar would be absolutely perfect. There are a few things to remember when you are working with a circle skirt. It is easy to weigh yourself down with too much fabric and this can be particularly challenging on a petite frame. Although I do not love the idea of exposed midriff, incorporating a crop top is an easy way to balance out the midi length hem. When you are only five feet tall, the last thing you want to do is “cut off” your legs or torso at an unflattering place. A crop top will draw the eye to the waistline, effortlessly elongating the appearance of your figure (I’ll take it!). If you still feel modest, consider layering up with a statement necklace, to distract from the length of the shirt.
