Misguided: Over the knee boot

In the past, the whole trend for over the knee boots has left me a little cold (not literally, I’m sure toasty kneecaps will be lovely in the next few months) For me they tend to fall into the domain of hooker boots, particularly those of the high patent leather varieties.

I might be tempted to change my mind after seeing these little beauties on Missguided.co.uk though. The boots are a little bit posh and yet also have a little bit pirate, not a combination you get to often. I think it’s the studs that draw it away from a lady of the night look, and I really like the flat heel detail. They’re remarkably similar to the Faith ‘Mienna’ boots Abi recently wrote about, but quite a bit cheaper at £28.99

1) Pull them over skinny jeans and pop on a casual t-shirt and blazer for Rock Chick chic. Bonus points if you the t-shirt is a bit distressed.

2) Wear with a knee length skirt. Feel free to try a mini skirt, but it’s only really for the brave in this case. The brave and Kate Moss.

3) A black jumper dress will pretty much go with anything and over the knee boots are no exception.

4) Shorter ladies should pair the boots with a pair of tights or leggings the same colour, to give the illusion of mega long legs.

The main advice? Always go with suede or boots with a matte effect. Less crass, more class. Also, try and get boots that turn down so that you can choose the length based on your outfit choice.
