High suede boots - over the knee boots, a fashionable staple of a modern woman's spring-winter wardrobe. Initially, knee-high boots without a heel were considered a purely male military footwear, very beloved by the Emperor of Russia Peter I. Much later, the famous fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent created a female version of boots, adding them to his collection, giving the shoes the 2nd, bright and stylish life
Reasons for popularity
Treads with high heels or wedges are a must-have part of a fashionable fall-winter wardrobe. The popularity of knee-length suede boots is partly due to their elegant and noble look, which has an advantage over leather models.
In addition, high boots:
- make the legs visually slimmer, despite the height and physique of the girl;
- protect from freezing temperatures and wind, which is especially important for those who like to wear skirts in the winter season;
- decorate the legs, giving the image an elegant look and completeness.
Suede models come in a variety of colors to create any trendy look. Due to its sophistication, the soft material does not need additional decorations, but requires special care, since it easily absorbs moisture and dirt, quickly losing its presentable appearance, especially in the rainy season.
Who are the boots
Suede boots without a heel are recommended to be worn only by girls with a small shoe size (up to 38-39). A large foot requires a slight lift in the shape of a wedge, wide heel or stiletto heel to give the foot a visual grace.
Over the knee boots are ideal for tall, slender girls, as they allow you to profitably demonstrate the beauty of long and slender legs.
Short women should combine boots with a solid bottom, which will visually "not chop off their legs." Outerwear for such an image should be fitted and reach a maximum of the thigh line.
For overweight girls, boots in combination with solid-colored tight-fitting trousers or leggings will visually stretch their legs. It is picked up in an oversized style, with a length not lower than the hips. When buying over the knee boots, you should also pay attention to the width of the bootleg, since for curvy women it is necessary that high boots fit tightly around the legs, but do not dig into the skin.
Features of shoes
Suede over the knee boots without a heel, wedge heel or platform are ideal for dry and cold autumn or winter weather. Insulated models have a fur layer that reliably protects feet from low temperatures.
In winter, such shoes are recommended by stylists most of all for long-legged, tall girls, since the additional padding will only visually increase the full shin, and with low stature, it will make the leg area more massive.
Sole
Suede boots can have a sole:
- on a wedge;
- with stiletto heel;
- having a platform;
- without heel;
- relief (tractor).
A stiletto heel is an option that emphasizes the length of the legs, but is only suitable for evening events, visits to exhibitions and theaters. The heel height here is 10-12 cm, which makes such shoes uncomfortable for daily wear.
Tractor outsole is the most practical because it prevents fatigue and prevents slipping on ice or wet asphalt. Such shoes can be flat or complemented by a wide, stable heel with a height of 4-6 cm. The sole with a wedge or wide heel is very comfortable, allowing you to visually increase height and add stability.
The platform is very beautiful, but quite heavy when walking. Such shoes are usually chosen by young women who want to create a bright image and increase their height. The platform is crowned with a wide, high (about 12 cm) heel.
The model without a heel fits organically into everyday, street style, but it is recommended only for girls with small (up to 39) feet. For daily wear, stylists and doctors recommend choosing models with a stable heel, 4-6 cm high or wedge heel.
The heel option can be any:
- glass;
- wedge-shaped;
- brick;
- figured
The evening look will be organically complemented by suede boots with a 12-centimeter stiletto heel.
Toe and shaft
Shoe models differ in the shape of its various parts:
| Sock | Acute. The pointed parts are here compensated by ribbons or other decor that visually expands the foot. |
| Square. A bit rough model, but allows to emphasize the fragility of the ankle. These boots often have a platform. | |
| Round. Looks organic, allowing you to visually narrow the large foot size. | |
| Bootleg | Form-fitting. Tightly wraps the surface of the leg, like stocking boots. |
| Made in the form of a pipe and has a flat top or is assembled with an accordion. | |
| Model top | Smooth. |
| V-neck. | |
| With a lapel. | |
| Asymmetric. The front of the shoe is above the back. Suitable only for tall girls. |
Decorative finishing
The classic style requires wearing strict, laconic boots that do not differ in a variety of decor. A model decorated with leather inserts or a long gold zipper will also fit well into the office dress code.
Decor options used to decorate boots:
- gold or silver heel;
- gold-tone zipper with an elegant doggy that stretches all over the boot;
- rhinestones applied singly or in the form of a pattern;
- embroidery and various prints;
- fur inserts;
- an abundance of rivets and belts;
- fringe.
Treads with drawings, prints and rhinestones placed on the bootleg are appropriate only for slender, tall girls. For owners of wide ankles, such boots are contraindicated, since they instantly visually expand the lower body.
Belts and rivets are preferred for unisex-loving women and are only used in a casual outfit. The fringe gives the boots a cowboy-like look. You can wear this model with the same style of clothing. Fur inserts and lining increase the size of the lower leg and land the figure, which is contraindicated for plump and short girls.
Style and color
The modern fashion industry offers boots made in a variety of color variations:
- The black. A classic color that matches absolutely any outfit and dress code.
- Sapphire. An original solution that allows you to instantly stand out from the crowd. These shoes should be paired with muted clothing tones.
- Brown shades. Noble colors that make it possible to create rich images.
- Beige. An original but impractical solution that requires very careful maintenance.
- Gray. A universal color of boots, suitable for any clothing.
- Red. Allows you to create a bright, catchy image of a fatal, sexually aggressive woman. Requires compulsory addition with a stiletto heel or platform with a high heel.
For lovers of extravagant solutions, fashionable crimson, emerald, purple, powdery boots, combined with a varied, preferably monochromatic top, are also suitable.
Stylists recommend wearing treads of bright colors together with matching plain blouses or shirts. For evening models, black, chocolate, sapphire or red colors are considered preferable. Such shoes can be decorated with rhinestones or embroidery. The heel decorated with gold or silver looks original.
Fashion models
Suede boots are distinguished by a variety of fashionable solutions that allow you to choose shoes for any look. Depending on their preferences, women can choose boots that do not have a heel, with a comfortable tractor sole, a stiletto heel or a platform.
Flat
They allow you to create a modern, unusual look thanks to a variety of colors. Such a model can be made with a high or short bootleg, fashionable lapel and look great in combination with a mini-skirt, flared dress, jeans or skinny pants.
The original fashionable solution is the over-the-knee boots, with a dark shaft and a white sole, which allows you to create an imitation of sneakers. It is recommended to wear such models for tall girls with shoe size less than 39. A short height with this combination will seem even more mundane, and a large foot size will create an imitation of wide men's boots.
Tractor sole
A real hit of the 2020 fashion season. Such a model is particularly convenient, since it protects the legs from fatigue and allows you to create a fashionable, extraordinary image. Depending on your preferences, you can choose over the knee boots with embossed heels or without. The heel height in this case should be between 4 and 8 cm.
On a hairpin
The stiletto heels instantly set the girl apart from the crowd. The stiletto heel, unsuitable for everyday days, is ideally combined with an evening dress or a short skirt.
Such a model can be performed in absolutely any color scheme, but black, red, chocolate and dark blue high boots, decorated with extravagant patterns of rhinestones, gold zippers or a curly, golden hairpin, look the most organically.
Wedge heel
A good solution for creating a casual look. Suede wedge boots allow you to slightly increase your height (which is especially important for girls of short stature), without causing discomfort to your legs, unlike a heel.
High boots look good in chocolate, black or gray shades and can be easily combined with trousers or skinny jeans, short skirts and sweater dresses.
Stocking boots
A fashionable option especially relevant for girls of model appearance. In everyday wear, the tight-fitting part is not particularly comfortable, since it tightly wraps around the lower leg, but does not provide comfort.
Suitable only for warm, dry autumn weather or as an addition to an evening look.
High
The traditional height of the boots is up to the knees, but the original design solutions extend the height of the boots to the thighs, allowing the end of the tops to close almost in the crotch area.
What to wear with boots?
Suede over the knee boots without a heel or with it are a universal model that allows you to experiment with any clothing. The most relevant, autumn-winter bows are created with a combination of jackboots:
With a skirt
A risky and bright image that requires adhering to a single color scheme and an obligatory laconic cut, boots will be created in combination with a mini-skirt. For short girls, such clothes will visually stretch the lower body, giving the legs additional length and harmony. A wide palanquin or a scarf will complete this look.
You can also try a fitted cardigan or coat.
When worn with a midi skirt, over the knee boots will create a strict, elegant style, ideal for an office dress code. The skirt here should only slightly cover the top of the boots. This image is especially relevant when using a monochrome style, while the shade of boots should be 1-2 tones darker than outerwear or completely repeat the colors of a shirt or blouse.
Dark suede boots will create an ideal fashionable combination with skirts made of faux leather or suede. This model can be short or have a midi length with a straight or wedge-shaped cut.
With dress
A strict outfit will create over the knee boots in combination with a plain midi dress. The skirt here should slightly cover the bootleg. This image is especially beautiful in monochrome, when clothes are selected 2-3 tones lighter than shoes. A stylish casual look is obtained with a combination of a short sweater dress and tight-fitting boots.
A wide oversized model, complemented by stocking boots, is considered a very fashionable outfit for the fall-winter season 2020, ideal for girls with any figure. For a sexy evening look, you can pick up a short mini dress, complementing it with stiletto heels.
The knee-length model, with a wide or loosely-falling skirt, adjacent to the baby-dollar dress, complemented by strict suede boots with a tractor sole with a heel or stiletto heel will create an elegant, but at the same time playful evening winter look. The bow is supplemented with voluminous jewelry, a belt and a bag.
Solid dark over the knee boots go well with short dresses made in boho style with ethnic or floral prints. You should not wear boots with low-cut dresses with bare shoulders and short sleeves. Such an image will look vulgar.
With shorts
Extravagant, but approved by fashion trends, the bow is created by combining over the knee boots with shorts. The main thing in this image is the correct combination of color variation. It is recommended to choose boots to match the blouse or shorts, performing the rest of the image in a contrasting version. The stylish outfit is complemented by an extension jacket or jacket.
With the advent of cold weather, a fashionable look will turn out with a combination of a voluminous bright sweater, dark high-rise shorts and boots. A loose coat completes the bow. Do not use tight shorts for combination with boots. Wide leather or knitted models will be ideal for this look.
With pants and jeans
Slimming leather trousers or skinny jeans with jackboots are one of the topical, ageless trends of the upcoming fall-winter season. This look can be combined with absolutely any top.
You need to choose trousers to match the shoes or play in contrast. For overweight girls, a bow created with dark skinny pants (jeans) and suede over the knee boots is preferable, as this will visually narrow the lower body.
With leggings
The classic combination of leggings with over the knee boots necessarily requires a voluminous (fitted) top in the form of a sweater dress or tunic. Stylists recommend opting for dark leggings, as this model will create an imitation of tights.
The most fashionable boots for autumn and winter
Fashion trends in 2020 include:
- Silver treads... They allow you to create a bright, unforgettable image that shimmers beautifully in the sun and attracts the eye.
- Snakeskin Boots... The most current trend of the 2020 season is not giving up its positions. Chameleon boots are especially relevant, changing from red to brown shades.
- Bright colors... Blue, burgundy, red, orange. The brighter the better. These boots will create a stylish and bold look, beautifully complemented by a more muted upper.
- Rhinestones and lacing... Lace-up boots are a real hit of the season, imitating old-fashioned shoes. It is necessary to select an image for a model with rhinestones very carefully. To avoid vulgarity, stylists recommend complementing sparkling shoes with a similar bag, creating the rest of the bow in a monochrome style.
How to choose the right boots
Treads are selected depending on the preferences and style of the girl.
When buying, you should definitely pay attention:
- For the convenience of the model... Boots should not pinch, rub or have an uncomfortable instep support. The boot shaft should fit tightly around the leg, but not squeeze it.Leave room for tights, tight pants or jeans.
- On the color scheme... Despite the fact that bright, saturated colors are in fashion, shoes for everyday wear should be bought in a standard dark, brown or gray color scheme, easily in harmony with any outerwear. When creating a modern look with a fur coat or down jacket, you should take a closer look at the colors of outerwear. Stylish boots should create a single fashionable solid color bow, so the ideal option would be to buy shoes 1-2 tones darker than the previously selected top.
- To heel height and sole structure... An ideal option for the autumn-winter season will be tractor-soled boots. Such a model will allow you to create a bright image and protect you from falling on ice and wet asphalt. The heel for everyday wear should be no higher than 6 cm. A high stiletto heel is good only for an evening look.
- At the price... Good quality over the knee boots cannot be very cheap.
- For an abundance of jewelry... Treads are already a bright accent of the image that does not require additional accessories. Models decorated with rhinestones, prints, made of snakeskin look great in an evening style. For daytime, you should choose a monochromatic model made of suede or leather.
- On the structure of the shoe... Winter boots should have an insulating lining. Demi-season shoes should not be wet. Suede is a very beautiful, elegant material that requires careful maintenance and can quickly lose its presentable appearance. Such material is suitable for cold dry autumn and winter, but can quickly lose its appearance in rainy weather. Boots with leather inserts will become more practical.
Comfortable suede over the knee boots are a stylish bow, recommended by stylists for creating fashionable autumn-winter outfits. Correctly selected high boots with a tractor sole, without a heel, wedge heel or stiletto heel will become a stylish addition to your everyday or evening look, and will also reliably protect you from the autumn cold and wind.
