What Dresses to Wear with Over The Knee Boots
Over the knee boots have quickly become a fashion staple, because of their chic and stylish appearance.

Our range of premium leather footwear comprises many different stunning boot designs, each one with its own unique attributes.
Check out our expert guide below, where we share pro tips on how to wear over the knee boots with dresses. Our ultimate guide to buying and styling knee high boots will give you all the information you need to buy your next pair of over the knee boots.
What to know before buying over the knee boots
Before buying over the knee boots, it is most important to decide what purpose the shoes will serve in your closet. If you are looking for functional boots, you might want to consider a neutral colour and simple design. For instance, a pair of Kayleigh black leather thigh boots from Saint G will be more wearable and versatile than our Luisa maroon stretch suede over the knee boots.
You also want to consider the fit of the boots before buying. Ideally, you want the shoe to be snug from top to bottom, with minimal slouching. A snug fit ensures that the boots don’t ride down and ruin your look. Depending on the shape of your legs, you might have to go up a size or two so the shoes can fit your thighs and calves properly.
What to look for when shopping for over the knee boots
There are a few factors to keep an eye out for when shopping for thigh high boots, like:
Material
If your shoes are not made from good quality leather, they will not last in your closet for a long time. Saint G’s premium leather boots are designed in Milan, so our shoes will weather any storm.
Comfort
If you aren’t comfortable in your shoes, it will be apparent to everyone who sees you in them. So, it is best to try on your boots before purchasing.
Heel
If you prefer a pair of heels to flats, then make sure you are getting a heel that suits your needs. A thick and blocky heel will be more comfortable than narrow stiletto heels.
