I think everyone will agree with me when I say over-the-knee boots are an instant confidence booster. They’re the easiest way to lengthen your legs no matter what height you are. Before getting a pair myself, I always thought I could never pull them off since I don’t have the legs for it. Well, my theory turned out to be dead wrong. Everyone should know that you don’t need long legs to wear over-the-knee boots. The boots will add inches where you thought there were none. I recently bought these Steve Madden over-the-knee suede boots and haven’t turned back since! It’s been a perfect addition to my fall wardrobe that I’m planning to wear them right into the holidays. Nothing screams sex appeal more than showing off a bit of leg during these long winter months.

The weather’s only going to get colder, which means it’s best to style your over-the-knee boots with some heavier layers. Since you know how much I love turtlenecks, I decided to wear my knee-high boots with a heavy-knit high-low turtleneck sweater and my black leather shorts to show off my legs. Due to the freezing temperatures, I’d save this look for a night out or a casual holiday event. I know you must think it’s crazy to bare your legs in this weather but as long as you have a knee-length jacket over top, it should keep you warm and balance out the look of the shorts. If you’re not feeling as adventurous, you could always wear your over-the-knee boots with leggings of course. However, it’s always best to wear them with shorts or a skirt as it accentuates your legs the most, giving you that sexy holiday look.

To complete the outfit, don’t forget to accessorize with some personal jewelry and a chic purse. I opted to wear a few of my dainty pieces from Mejuri to keep the look minimalistic but yet, still stylish. As well, I didn’t want to overpower the boots so I paired it with my small white crossbody purse. Although the turtleneck sweater keeps things casual, the over-the-knee boots speak for themselves and will transform any outfit into a dressy one. As long as there’s a bit of a heel on your boots (mine are 2″), you will feel like a million bucks while wearing them. These boots are now my favourite fall to winter boot style as they’ve elevated my look completely on a night out. The holidaysj are arriving shortly, why not show off those legs this Christmas with a pair of over-the-knee boots?
