I’ve Worked It Out—Fashion People Always Style Their Knee-High Boots With These 7 Chic Skirt Pairings

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.

Style Notes: In my opinion, suede skirts are a sure-fire way to ensure that your outfit looks elevated and expensive. Lean in to the luxurious energy of supple suede and style a chic knee-grazing skirt with a pair of cherry red boots for an elevated outfit you’ll reach for all season.

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.

6. MAXI SKIRT + CARDIGAN

Style Notes: In my opinion, there are few items that can compete with the chicness of a floor-grazing maxi skirt. Whilst the weather remains chilly style with knee-high boots and layer over a wooly cardigan for a cosy ensemble you’ll feel your best in.

7. SILK SKIRT + SUEDE BOOTS

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.
