When you’re short and wearing knee high boots, you want your legs to look as long as possible. They won’t look as long as possible when you’re wearing layers over your knee-high boots. In fact, that may seem to shorten your legs. Make sure that when wearing knee high boots, you get keep your skirt, dress, or shorts fairly short to create the illusion of supermodel long legs!
Absolutely! Short girls can definitely rock knee-high boots. They can actually make your legs look longer when styled right.
The trick is to choose boots that fit snugly and pair them with skinny jeans or leggings. Going monochrome helps create an elongated silhouette.
Try wearing them with a mini skirt or dress. It shows a bit of skin between the boot and clothing, giving an illusion of longer legs.
It's possible, but you can look for boots designed for petite sizes. And don't worry, a cobbler can always shorten boots if needed!

2. Make It a Heel

If you’re going to wear knee high boots, make sure you pick out a pair that has a pretty good heel (this depends on what height you’re comfortable walking in). A heel will elongate your legs and make them look extra long next to the extra long leg of the boots. Plus, it will give your butt a nice lift that I think no one can complain about!

4. Wear Matching Pants

It will create a seamless transition from boots to pants and make your look subtler if you’re not ready to rock the dramatic knee-high boots look just yet!
