One of the best things about cooler weather is the appearance of knee high boots.
With a multitude of attributes, knee high boots can make chunky calves appear slimmer and cover lower leg flaws; keep your legs warm; and look incredibly chic. In short, they're extremely flattering, very practical, and incredibly stylish.
When worn with longer skirt, knee high boots have a romantic and feminine effect, and when paired with knee-length or shorter skirts, they're decidedly sexy and sophisticated.
The only real problem with knee high boots is finding the right pair for your particular legs - but there are options.
Knee High Boots for Larger Legs
Women with larger legs who find it difficult finding a boot to fit should look for a pair of stretch boots. If you're not accustomed to them, they might seem difficult to put on at first. The trick is scrunching down the shaft, like you would a stocking, and inserting your foot into the boot, then pulling the shaft up over your calf. Chunkier heels are good for heavier legs as they can make your leg appear slimmer.
The Right Knee-Highs for Thinner Legs
Women with skinny ankles might prefer a boot with a bit of structure or bulk to it - western styles and slouch boots are also good choices, but look for a more slender heel, as heavy heels can make your legs look even thinner.
Tips for Wearing Knee High Boots
Black knee high boots with a bit of a heel can go effortlessly from the office to dinner, and knee high flats work well with casual or preppy skirts. Remember if you're going to tuck jeans into your boots, you'll want jeans with skinny legs to avoid the "ballooning" effect.
