Knee high boots

[Bodybarnet]

Saw some boots very like these (brand new) in a charity shop today.

I haven't worn knee high boots for ages as I felt they were considered dated but I've also just bought a lovelyWhistles jumper dress and wondered if they would go together.

I didn't buy them but am wondering if I should go back. What are your thoughts on knee high boots

Hopeful bump?

Mm I like knee high boots as long as they’re flat and over the knee. Other than that, it’s a no from me. Just looks like you’re going horse riding or like you’re a bimbo if they’ve got high heels. And also depends with what outfit you wear them I guess.

I wear knee high boots all the time. And given the amount of them in the shops, I wouldn’t say they are dated at all.

I love my knee highs. They can prise them off my cold dead legs.

I'm not stylish though I wear what I like.

I like knee high boots though I don't actually have any at the moment

I've been admiring a pair on the jigsaw website & contemplating them.

I have to day that I'm not mad about the ones in your link, sorry. It's the shape & overall style. Long boots are in again but the style is different now..

I saw a woman in the most fabulous long, flat boots under wide leg cropped trousers & a long orange wool coat in town yesterday & she was looking 👌

I quite like these but the orange coat ladies were even nicer

Buy them

I went back to my knee boots a couple of years ago although admittedly I don't wear skirts or dresses very often.

Buy them I have a few pairs including with heels and overknee. Love them
Not dated imo as most shops still sell them

I've worn my older ones a couple of times this year, they are functional and ankle boots don't keep my legs warm

I got some Dune lace up ones off vinted a couple of months ago which I wear with my jumper dress. And with a couple of shirt dresses I got. I love them

I love knee high boots, but then I am short, and dresses / skirts that are that midi length that end below the knee/mid calf, combined with ankle boots, create a very shortening look on my legs (two lines across the lower leg). Knee/long boots that end under the skirt hem can create a lengthening look to otherwise stumpy legs.

so given the length of the dress you’ve linked, unless you are v tall, the boots would disappear under the dress and look good.

Re being dated - last year and the year before they were in short supply, but seem to be everywhere this year. Don’t wear with skinny jeans, but do look nice with dresses/skirts.

Bimbo? God what an awful misogynistic term to use!

Interesting

Everything is so expensive this year so I am wearing my classic suede ones

Wear mine all the time because they are warm and comfortable, I can walk miles in them, but also dress them up with a dress/tunic and leggings.

I wear knee highs with leggings and dresses most the winter for work, very practical, who cares what people who don't have to work a proper job say what is in fashion

Buy them.

Oh only thing to add - if you aren’t going to wear with jeans, make sure they are tight on your leg round the top to avoid the wellies look.

The “wellies look” is what’s in now! (Leather boots that are looser on the calf, in stiff leather - not actual welly boots)

This is what I love too, I have heeled leather knee highs (not skin tight boots) and wear them with midi length skirts and dresses to make me look a bit taller.

One good thing about knee length boots is that whatever you are wearing, a big coat and knee length boots will make you look presentable.

I think knee high boots are a staple that are never really dated, but it does depend on how you wear them.

Dated? I have only heard that on mumsnet.
Just like skinny jeans.

Not dated at all - I have a few different styles which I wear mainly with sweater dresses but also with leggings and long line jumpers
