For me, there’s no better time of year than the autumn-to-winter transition. Between the crisp mornings, bright afternoons, and the return of layering—there’s no part that I don’t adore.
What’s more is that in my books, this perfect period is the best time to wear my favourite outfit combination: a skirt and knee high boots. Chic and feminine, this timeless outfit combination imparts a sophisticated silhouette that I can’t get enough of. From floor-sweeping maxi skirts to ultra-mini styles, I always find that a knee-high boot is the perfect accompaniment to any skirt that I pull.
Inspired to make the most of the not-too-hot but not-too-cold climate we’re experiencing right now, below I’ve done the research and tracked down the exact skirt and knee-high boots outfits fashion people are wearing right now. Read on to discover what I found.
DISCOVER THE SKIRT AND KNEE-HIGH BOOTS OUTFITS WE’RE COPYING THIS WINTER
1. DENIM SKIRT + WOOL COAT
Style Notes: Denim skirts can sometimes look a little casual, but a sleek knee high boot entirely transforms the energy. To give your look even more of a lifted feel, style with a chic wool layer and select your boots in a pointed-toe style.

2. PLEATED SKIRT + ROOMY KNIT
Style Notes: Contrast the hardy energy of a tall knee high boot and pair it with a lightweight pleated skirt. To give your look a wintery edge layer over a v-neck knit and style with a spattering of accessories.

3. SUEDE SKIRT + BURGUNDY BOOTS

5. MINISKIRT SET
Style Notes: Make your miniskirt feel all-the-more elevated by shopping a style that corresponds with a matching top or jacket. In a fresh cream shade this outfit is easy to style with a wide range of shoe colours, but I prefer a light suede style to lean into the fresh colour palette.

Style Notes: Any fashion person knows that a pretty silk skirt is worth its weight in gold. Whilst it’s versatile enough to style with trainers and heels, I think the chic skirt looks at its best when worn with a classic knee high suede boots.
