1 Wear a Short Dress, Skirt, or Shorts

Frequently asked questions
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!
3 Go High-Waisted
If you’re often self-conscious that your legs are too short, especially when you’re wearing super tall boots, try wearing high-waisted pants or a skirt. That instantly makes your legs look way longer than they may feel, and that is exactly the look you want to create!
4 Wear Matching Pants
If you’re not ready to make a huge fashion statement yet, wear matching pants with your knee-high boots. For example, if your boots are black, find a pair of matching black pants to wear with them. 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!
5 If You’re Showing Skin, Show a Lot of It
If you’re committing to showing skin, be sure that you’re showing a good chunk. You don’t want your skirt or dress to overlap with your boots. It may not look like you’re wearing and instead it will look like you’re wearing suede or leather leggings, and that’s not a look that anyone wants to create, right?
6 Go Bold with Your Accessories
Again, if you’re not ready to show off your dramatic boots just yet, go for a dark outfit, but pair it with bold accessories to bring the eye elsewhere. Plus, when pairing the two bold choices together, you’ll look so fashionable and stylish! It’s a win-win!
7 Wear Them with Confidence!
The absolute most important part of wearing over the knee or knee-high boots is to wear them with confidence. Keep your shoulders back, your head held high, and walk like you own the room! You’ll feel so confident in your fashion choices and people will take notice!
