If fashion people are wearing boots right now, there’s a high likelihood that they’re donning sleek knee-high styles. Tall boots have been on the menu for a few seasons now, but 2022 is solidifying them as a footwear staple. As with any item that manages to remain popular year after year, how fashion people are wearing it has evolved. While knee-high boots with mini skirts was the go-to combination all of last fall, the boot outfits we’ve spotted recently are getting less skin-baring—but, it should be said, no less cool.
Yep, longer skirts are now the default option among the style set when they’re wearing knee-high boots. Personally, I’ve been addicted to this combination all fall and I know I’m not alone. Bella Hadid also stepped out in a similar look during fashion week and I’ve spotted countless people in my social media feeds doing the same. We called out maxi and knee-length skirts as big runway trends this year, and although the hemlines can be tricky to approach, tall boots make them feel refreshingly approachable.
