It’s one of those fashion trends that hits the ground running and spreads like wildfire – and we can see why. The over-the-knee boots are sexy, fashion forward and go far enough up your leg to actually keep you warm in a dress this winter. Besides the color and heel height options, there is little variation in this trend. Over-the-knee boots are basically the new Uggs, and they are a must have for the holiday season. Since they all look pretty much the same, shopping for a decent pair can be challenging. Here’s a guide to get you through the basic options of the over-the-knee boots:
Guess
The Guess over the knee boot are suede (surprise, surprise), come in four different colors including black, beige, gray and tan, are flat (which you’ll want if you’re walking around the city this winter) and have a tie behind the knee. A sensible price and comfortable sole, this is a practical over-the-knee boot option.
