One of the F/W 2017 trends I’m super excited about is the return of knee-high boots. I’ve been browsing Angie’s pinboard, and thought these were particularly fun:
- Knit skirt and cape jacket with Dr. Marten-esque tall boots.
- Tall boots worn with culottes, a look I already enjoyed sporting last year.
- Midi skirt with knee-high boots in matching shades of ink.
- A fun nod to equestrian style.
- Bright tonal look with eye-catching pink boots.
Finding great-fitting tall boots when you have larger calves can be tricky. The Huffington Post has some suggestions.
If you’d like to give over-the-knee boots a try, then PopSugar’s round-up is worth a look.
