How to style: Knee High Boots - Chads

The knee-high boots (and thigh-high boots) are one of this seasons must-have items and have been highly showcased in many of this years Autumn/Winter collections by designers such as Gucci, Tom Ford and Givenchy.

I personally really wanted a suede pair - but didn't want to splurge on a pair of boots which I won't be able to wear too often with London's infamous rainy days throughout the year..
So after a bit of searching, I finally found the pair I wanted:


I purchased these from Missguided (click here) - RRP £40 - But Missguided are always doing great discount offers so I got them for only £30 (wooh!)

A pair of knee/thigh-high boots are so worth buying as they can be styled in so many ways - casually for day time or dressed up for an evening out. It can also be easily incorporated into your Spring wardrobe, especially if you live in colder countries such as England. 

Here are a few ways that I would style them:


1: The Midi/Jumper Dress

This knit midi dress was purchased from Stradivarius (similar dresses here and here)
A jumper dress like this is so useful to have in your wardrobe as a transitional piece between seasons. 
This really is such a simple outfit but still looks like I made an effort. The dress & boots really compliment each other well and totally gives off Kim K vibes <3

2: The Leather Pants:

Here I paired the suede boots with a pair of leather pants. I am not really a big wearer of prints, so I like to spice my outfits by playing with different textures. Here, the contrast between both textures and colours really bring together the outfit. 
The front wrap top was purchased from Missguided and the leather pants from Topshop

3: The A Line Skirt 

This is probably my favourite look out of the 3; it's just such a cute and preppy outfit. 
Pairing your boots with an A-line skirt is a great way to achieve a clean and sophisticated statement. 
I purchased this skirt from Boohoo, I don't think they sell it any more but you can buy a similar skirt from Asos here or here, and pair it with a fitted top or polo neck to balance the look.

How would you style the knee-high boots and what was your favourite look? 
Let me know :)
