How to style these boots?

[Allbymyselfagain]

I've just been bought these boots for Christmas. I've been looking at and lusting after them for ages and my boss bought them for me. Problem is I have no idea how to style them to stop them looking "streetwalker"

I was thinking thick tights with jumper dresses or a mini skirt and jumper so make them look a bit more casual. I wondered if I could even get away with black or blue leggings again with longer jumpers. Obviously on a night out its going to be little black dress all the way but I didn't want to save them just for best, I get precious little frivolous new things just because I love them so I want lots of options. What would you suggest?

Midi skirt suit will look great.

Mini skirt risks looking hookerish.

Smart high necked shift dress with minimal jewellery, accent on the boots.

Avoid anything low cut or you will look OTT.

Black pencil skirt and chunky knit.

Loads of solutions!

There's only a certain kind of thigh high boots that were hookerish - Pretty Woman for example.

60s thigh boots were chic.

Personally I don't think there's any way of wearing these boots and not looking like Khloe Kardashian.

Sorry had to share some photos. They look great with thick tights so that helps!

So opaque the boots just look like er.. Boots tbh

They look like ordinary knee high boots now.

I think they look nice on you with the thick tights :)

I agree they do just look like ordinary boots now. They also make your legs look bigger than they are (you have a nice figure). The stripey bodycon dress would look better with tights and shoes.

Maybe a slightly sheer tight would make you really see the boots better though? Since it was a style you liked I do get what others are saying about you not seeing the style of boot with the thick tights.

The boots are definitely of the moment & I think you're doing the right thing by trying to wear them with different looks. They will be soo last season come March so wear wear wear.
I maintain that my initial idea of midi & no tights is the way to go.

[ItGoesWithoutSaying]

These look much better on that I thought they might in the original picture. They look good with opaques. (You look good, OP.) Prefer the look with the stripey dress than with the midi skirt. Greengarden may have a point and lower denier tights might look even better.

I'd buy myself a pair if I thought I could do the heel.

I'm with Carpe, definitely a midi and no tights. I think that's the only way to wear them TBH.

Been trying to find this thread again! Look good.

Still meaning to get these. OP I do have a similar style in that they are proper boots with a zip fastening but they lace up with ribbons all the way down the side. I normally wear them with black stockings or tights but not opaque ones so you can clearly see the lace up effect and they look great.
