Boot Styles for Every Occasion

Holly dives into must-have boot styles for your wardrobe—from over-the-knee and mid-calf to chic ankle booties. Find out how each style can transform your look and learn the tips for making sure they fit perfectly and complete your perfect look. You'll make your friends jealous, we promise.

1. Over-the-knee or Thigh-high Boots:

Looking for style drama? These boots are perfect for adding that bold, dramatic flair to any outfit. Thigh-high boots can be styled with shorter or knee-length dresses to make your legs appear longer. Showing off the top of the boot or pairing them with skinny jeans and a fitted sweater will definitely create a chic, streamlined look that will never go out of style.

*Hot TIP: For colder weather wear ONLY, so make sure you’re not wearing them when it’s above 40 degrees if you don't want to be schvitzing.

2. Mid-Calf and Cowboy Boots:

Whether you prefer an authentic pair for that rugged, traditional feel, or a high-fashion cowboy-style boot, cowboy boots are absolutely timeless. Mid-calf boots are a great option paired with a maxi dress, skirt, or over a pair of jeans. A fave look with mid-calf boots: colored or patterned boots over jeans with a cropped sweater. Or, tuck in your leggings, and add a belt over your blazer to achieve street-style comfort.

*Hot TIP: Authentic cowboy boots or cowboy-style boots are a must-have in your wardrobe, whether you're a cowgirl or not. #nonnegosh

3. Ankle Boots (Booties):

These versatile boots can be worn all year round! Holly emphasizes finding a pair that fits snugly around your ankle to create a sleek silhouette, whether you’re styling them with tights and a skirt in cooler weather or over leather-esque leggings. Booties are great for adding a pop of style without overwhelming your outfit.

4. Flat Riding Boots:

Classic and timeless, flat-riding boots are perfect for casual days. Holly recommends pairing them with jeans or leggings and an oversized chunky sweater for a polished, equestrian-inspired outfit. Caramel, black, or dark brown flat boots will be a great boot investment for years to come. These boots are also great for women on the go or for someone on their feet all day, offering comfort without sacrificing style.

Avoiding Boot Fashion Crimes!

Ever wonder if your boots are a fashion do or don’t? Holly shares the boot crimes you need to steer clear of—like wearing weatherproof boots when it’s sunny (we’re looking at you, Florida!) and why pairing the wrong pants with short booties can ruin your whole outfit.

Boot Maintenance is Key:

Don’t let scuffed or worn-out boots ruin your look! Holly walks you through the simple boot-care essentials that will keep your beloved pairs looking fresh for years to come.
