In recent seasons, the fashion industry has toyed between the chunky combat and the second skin; the western-inspired and the equestrian; the reimagined welly and the distressed biker—we’ve even witnessed the resurgence of the Chelsea boot thanks to Jonathan Anderson at Loewe. And, while each of these styles earned the spotlight in their own right, a leggy fall/winter 2024 is in the forecast.
As seen at Chloé, Gucci, Ferragamo, Stella McCartney, and Fendi, to name a few, the over-the-knee boot took the fall/winter 2024 runways in stride last February, proving victorious as this season’s go-to boot. Modern iterations of the thigh-high styles, which were first popularized in the 1960s, peaked through draped dresses and epic trench coats. They paired equally well with micro mini silhouettes, and added an unexpected flair to tailored pieces.
From the runways to the city streets, step into fall this season with over-the-knee boots at every price point. Opt for a slouchy leather to achieve that effortlessly polished style, keep it classic with a fall suede, or take on a color other than black or chocolate brown to instantly elevate any look. No matter the price, embrace fall’s best over-the-knee boots with the statement-making staples, below.
