Two Ways to Wear Over the Knee Boots with Jeans

Over-the-knee boots went from being edgy a few years ago to pretty mainstream. One of the popular ways to wear them is casual with jeans. Check out these gorgeous black suede over-the-knee boots and 2 fun ways I styled them for the weekend.

Look # 1 – Over the Knee Boots with Sweatshirt

Jeans and a sweatshirt are a common weekend look, but add some swashbuckling black suede over-the-knee boots, giving you a rugged, outdoorsy look.

It all starts with this cute bell-sleeve sweatshirt with a relaxed boho vibe. It’s a super comfy top with a feminine touch, and the gorgeous burgundy color is so beautiful this time of year.  This top is a little plain at the neckline, so I layered on a cute burgundy and pink animal print scarf to add dimension and texture.

Are you wondering about my bag? That’s a python-embossed phone case on a strap from GiGi, NY. That’s all you need on weekends, plus a credit card and some cash to tuck inside this case.

A crossbody purse is also a great accessory for this relaxed look. It goes with the natural/sporty vibe at the core of the boho style. You can order these initialized, which makes a great Xmas gift. Do you know what the L stands for in my initials?

Boots are my favorite thing to wear this time of year, and I especially love over-the-knee boots. Something about a tall, flat boot makes you feel adventurous and ready for action. For some reason, an image of Robin Hood is running through my head (Lol!).

It’s because these boots have that Robin Hood feel (or even pirate feel, for that matter!)Jus

Could you just look at that detail? These boots are a work of art and easy to get on with that stretchy back.

You could wear black jeans with this outfit, but the boot would be lost. I like the contrast of the denim and the black suede.

Look # 2  Over the Knee Boots with a Velvet Top

Velvet has long been the fabric of royalty because it naturally gives off a luxurious feel, making every outfit look high-fashion and expensive. It’s not the first fabric you’d think of to go with denim, but it’s a fashion-forward combination.

Like a fluffy puppy makes you want to reach out and touch it, so does anything velvet. This beautiful velvet turtleneck is soft, rich, and quietly alluring.

I’ve paired it with my favorite Paige jeans  -Transcend high waist super stretch. These are the same Vince Camuto suede over-the-knee boots  ( similar) I’m wearing in the first outfit you saw.

You can see from this close-up how velvety the boots look, too!

My velvet top is plush and soft, and these boots are comfortable. Try this look and elevate your favorite jeans to a whole new level! This velvet top has sold out, but I have linked more below.

  1. I’m 68 and bought suede tall boots. My son and daughter-in-law said I’m too old to wear them. I’m 5’6″ and weigh 120 lbs. Now I feel foolish if I wear them and am thinking about taking them back.

  2. I love this look, but at only 5’2”, I don’t think I could pull it off. They should make boots that vary according to height! Lol. I’ll keep wishing.

  3. I bought OTK boots in black, taupe, navy, and chocolate suede. I love them all and have already worn the blue and black TO DEATH this year. Now I need to focus on the taupe and chocolate. So sexy — and warm, and comfortable! They are my new favorite things I bought this year, I think.

  4. This is excellent advice about wearing these kinds of boots. I do all three of these when wearing mine, and I am very tall at 6 feet with very long legs…and it always looks stylish and tasteful rather than obscene.

  5. I have yet to see over-the-knee boots popular in CO. They’re in all the stores. Maybe the younger set will wear them. I like the look.

  6. I purchased a pair of the flat heel, olive, suede OTK boots months ago and have yet to wear them. Glad to see I nailed the selection. Thanks for the post.

  7. I needed new flat black boots this winter, so I chose black suede OTK boots. I haven’t worn them with a sweater dress yet, but I plan to; I have only worn them with skinnies. They are fabulous, but I fear they will be highly dated next winter, so I plan to wear them as often as possible. I love them; they are comfy and warm and look fabulous! I love these boots!

It's your life. Make it Fabulous!
