Tuesday Trend: Over the Knee Boots

11/27/12 | Brian Atwood, celebrity, Chinese Laundry, Giuseppe Zanotti, Givenchy, Juicy Couture, Michael Kors, Prada, Rag + Bone, shoes, Tuesday Trend

I have always loved the idea of over-the-knee boots but due to muscular legs in college they never fit me, however, I have always admired them on others.   They splashed out onto the season in 2009, but were never really a big hit in Washington, D.C., however, as it gets colder in New York City I am seeing them EVERYWHERE.  To really rock this trend my advice is to keep heeled OTK boots from looking too sexy by pairing them with a knit dress and leggings or take it down a notch and go for flat boots.  To make the look more seasonal scarfs, gloves, or cute hats are always great added accessories.

Style Inspiration: Miranda Kerr and Oluchi Onweagba

    

What are my favorite OTKs?  Here are my top 12; four flat, four heeled, and four under $100! 

Guiseppe Zanotti Boots  / Juicy Couture Boots / Rag & Bone Cowhide Boots / Michael Kors Suede Boots

Givenchy Fold Over Boots / Brian Atwood Suede Boots / Alexander Wang Patent Boots / Prada Platform Boots

Chinese Laundry Black Boots / Jennifer Lopez Grey Boots / Baby Phat Zipper Boots / Paris Hilton Brown Boots

Do you wear Over the Knee boots?  What is your favorite way to style them?

    Fun post! I’ve been obsessed with over-the-knee boots for a while now! I just can’t seem to find the perfect pair! Obsessed with the Rag & Bone pair!

    I have been meaning to get a pair of these forever! I just haven’t found anything that I really liked. My perfect pair would be a cross between the Brian Atwood pair and the Alexander Wang pair 🙂 xoxox

    I love this style very much. I wore them in early 1990s and was very tempted to buy a pair in 2009 when they were suddenly in fashion and everywhere. x

    So many cute boots in this post! I must admit, I’m a little scared of over-the-knee! I’m only 5″3 so I feel like they might make my legs look super short, haha! But, I still can admire from afar…

    I like the ‘Alexander Wang Patent’ ones… I used to wer them years ago, when they weren’t so in & it always brought a feel of yumminess with me wherever I went. 😀
    I like mixing them with plisse skirts.

    I’ve never tried over-the-knee boots, I have short and thin legs so I always wondered how they would look on me!
