What are long boots called?

Boots are called closed shoes with a high top. If previously they were worn exclusively in winter or during the transition periods of autumn and spring, today you can easily find a suitable pair for walks in the warm season. The variety of materials, styles and stylistic trends make boots truly universal shoes that should be present in every woman’s wardrobe. A real trend in recent months has been models with boots that reach to the knee. Let's find out what they are called correctly and what clothes long boots go best with.

What are long boots called?

Classic women's models have a number of distinctive features:

• high, leg-fitting boot of different heights;
• narrow, rounded or pointed toe;
• restrained colors;
• the presence of a heel;
• interior decoration in demi-season and winter models;
• minimal decor.

The names of such modest boots are as follows:

• fry - a model with small heels with straps located around the ankle;
• country – models with heels slanted inwards, without lacing and zippers;
• Wellington - waterproof rubber shoes that reach mid-calf.

Important! More feminine and bold models are called the general name “over the knee boots.” Often these are shoes with high thin heels with an above-the-knee shaft made of leather, suede or nubuck.

Over the knee boots are divided into several types:

1. OVER THE KNEE BOOTS. This is the name given to all boots that completely or partially cover the knee;
2. THIGH-HIGH BOOTS. Models above the knee, tightly fitting the leg without laces or zippers. They are also called “boots-stockings” in another way;
3. KINKY BOOTS. The most extravagant and daring model that is not worn every day. Kinky boots are mid-thigh high boots with high heels. They are made from materials that suit the style: black or red patent leather, bright suede or nubuck.

Types and models of long boots

Among the distinctive features of all models of long boots, the main task of which is to emphasize the beauty and length of women's legs, there are:

1. The height of the boot. Kinky boots are unlikely to be suitable for everyday shopping trips and Sunday walks through parks and city streets. Reaching mid-thigh, they will be appropriate in clubs and restaurants, at themed parties and other entertainment events. Over the knee boots with a lapel are considered a universal option, suitable for any type of clothing, which can be combined with a business suit and jeans;
2. Seasonality. Boots for spring and autumn can be high-heeled, without fur or lining. They can be worn until frosts of no more than -5 degrees. Winter models are made from natural leather or suede insulated with fur. They often have a thick sole without a heel, a platform.New this season are felt boots, which provide excellent warmth in the cold winter;
3. Boot cut. Boots made in the form of stockings are the favorite footwear of young girls who want to emphasize their sexuality and femininity. Shoes with a high and at the same time loose top are the choice of girls with an original style;
4. Type of heel. A high and thin stiletto heel is a companion to all Kinky boots. Other models may have wedges, low heels, or completely flat soles. The latter option is suitable for winter shoes, which must be durable and stable at the same time. Sometimes you can find winter boots with low heels or wedges. Such models are more suitable for driving in cars or public transport, since it is extremely inconvenient to move on snowy roads in high heels.

It is generally accepted that high boots look good only on slender and tall girls. What should women who do not have model parameters do? Short representatives of the fair sex who have some problems with their figure, as well as others, can safely choose boots for themselves, taking into account the following advice from stylists:

• models of long high-heeled boots worn over skinny jeans or leggings to match them will help to visually lengthen your legs;
• a combination of “stockings” with high-waisted dresses will help correct the disproportion of the figure;
• you will have to refuse bright tights that do not fit into the overall tone of the clothes;
• Flat boots look great on short legs when paired with contrasting colored trousers and miniskirts.

What to wear with long boots and how to choose an outfit

The following recommendations will help you look stylish and fashionable in over the knee boots with a boot that covers the knee:

1. Suede models are worn with cozy knitted sweaters, jeans and short cocktail dresses made of weightless fabrics. It is better not to wear capricious suede in rain and snow; this material is more suitable for dry and warm weather;
2. Shoes made of smooth, perforated or patent leather are worn in any weather. Classic leather models fit almost any style and trend. You need to be careful with varnish, since an excess of this material gives the image excessive vulgarity and cheapness;
3. High-heeled boots can be worn with short skirts only if the top (jacket or blouse) is completely closed. Flat soles are a more democratic option and can be combined with both revealing outfits and casual wear;
4. Ultra comfortable and warm boots - felt boots or dutiki - are the favorite type of winter footwear for schoolgirls and students. They are worn with tight leggings and short knitted dresses worn over thick plain tights;
5. Models with wide shafts that do not cover the knee are worn with bright flared dresses and sundresses.

A good solution for walking during heavy autumn rains would be high, waterproof rubber boots. A wide range of choices allows you to choose a pair that is visually no different from the usual models made of more noble suede or leather.
