Over the knee boots were originally men's shoes. They were invented in Europe for cavalrymen, and Peter the Great brought them to Russia. Now these are high women's boots that cover the knee. The classic length rises a couple of centimeters above the leg joint. Being one of the most popular models of the season, boots have acquired many variations:
- with different boot lengths;
- with asymmetrical top edge;
- with different heel widths;
- with different heel heights;
- with lacing;
- leather, suede, knitted.
Over the knee boots are very treacherous shoes. Emphasizing slender legs, they focus attention on flaws (excessive fullness, imperfect shape, curvature). Buy these boots only if you are confident in the beauty of your feet.
What can you combine green boots with?
A girl in such a model will not go unnoticed. And if you add a fashionable bright color - green, then it becomes clear that the main traits of her character are courage and self-confidence.It turns out two accents in one thing: model and color. This alone obliges you to be dressed impeccably.
You need to choose an outfit for green boots very carefully. The shoes themselves are a bright image, so the selection of all clothes is built around them. In order not to overload your look, keep your outfit in calm colors: beige, gray, steel, you can turn to black, it’s always a winner.
- Emerald boots can be complemented with any shades of brown, for example, chocolate, coffee, dark beige.
- Light shades of green - lime, mint, spring greens - go well with an outfit in white, gray or green.
- Bright green shoes require very neutral and muted shades of gray, brown, khaki.
- Dark green boots can be combined with brighter colors, including blue, yellow, purple or turquoise.
With a dress
Models of high boots made of suede with low heels or flat soles are suitable. Excellent combinations can be achieved with either a straight knitted dress or a dress made of light fabric with a flowing hem.
With a skirt
A miniskirt and over the knee boots go together incredibly stylishly. Choose a loose cut: sun, flare, tulip. To organically combine all things into one look, turn to a fitted top: wear a turtleneck, or a fitted T-shirt, or a short jacket with a shirt. An A-line, A-line, pencil or straight-cut skirt requires models with heels. A rather feminine look is achieved with a long skirt with a slit in the front to mid-thigh.
With a long sweater
A good combination of an elongated sweater and high-heeled boots. Complete your look with leggings that match the color scheme of your top or bottom.Without compromising the look, leggings are replaced with thick tights to match the shoes.
With shorts
A bold duo of high boots with shorts will make the look attractive and relevant. Select the length according to the shoe model, and prefer loose styles. A good combination with a green bottom is a short-skirt or a model with lapels in a calm range of gray, green, and brown colors. They can be medium length, slightly elongated or mini. Tiny models are only suitable for the beach, and look out of place with high green boots.
With jeans
There is only one option here - skinny jeans. The remaining varieties will distract attention to themselves, because boyfriends, riding breeches, and oversized ones are also quite a strong fashion accent. The image will be overloaded, its integrity with such a “soloist” will be destroyed.
With leggings
The combination of high boots and leggings is very interesting. But For any body type, be sure to choose an elongated one: cardigan, tunic sweater, woolen dress, poncho. The color of the bottom should be the same color: emerald leggings and boots of the same color. The only exception is the tandem of boots and jeggings, reminiscent of jeans. In this case, color matching is not necessary.
What outerwear to wear with?
A short jacket made of leather or suede, a fur coat, an elongated down jacket, a military coat, straight or other cut - everything with green boots will look stylish. The main thing is that the list of successful combinations does not include outerwear of maximum length (to the floor) and jackets of sports styles.
Fashion mistakes
If you are going to wear over the knee boots, try not to make mistakes that will undo all the effort spent on creating a fashionable look.
Important! From the top of the boots to the edge of the clothing there cannot be less than 15 cm, otherwise the created image will turn out to be in bad taste.
Stylists advise
- Transparent or mesh tights should not be worn with green boots. A selection to match the shoes is required: for green over the knee boots - green tights;
- It is a mistake to think that a deep neckline is combined with this model: open legs at the top require a closed top of the outfit;
- a tight dress with an ultra-short length looks vulgar with over the knee boots. You should choose looser styles;
- green patent leather boots look strange on the city streets; they look organic only on the catwalks;
- the combination of high leather boots with leather clothes is bad manners;
- models of boots with wedges or platforms are hopelessly outdated, avoid their outdatedness;
- It is a mistake to think that bright shades of emerald or light green look boring with a black outfit. On the contrary, classics will add chic and elegance to the image;
- green boots do not harmonize with a red coat; the color of outerwear should match the color of the shoes or in restrained tones of brown, gray, blue, purple;
- fashionable green boots should not be worn with out-of-date clothes: This discrepancy causes confusion and disappointment.
