Should You Wear Knee High Boots to Work?
Recently on our IG stories, a follower asked a million dollar question. Are knee high boots okay for work?
Knee high boots have a bad office rap to be frank. In the past, I think it had a lot to do with how it was being styled. Paired with mini skirts, it’s probably a no. And as you should know, mini skirts are a no-go in the office anyway. But, there IS a perfect way to style them to make it office appropriate.
Every workplace is different and you have to your dress code into consideration. But, for my casual/business casual ladies…the key is the hemline.
My favorite way to wear a knee high boot is with a hemline that goes well below the knee. A lot of work style is all about illusions (I’ve worn a crop top to work and got away with it). A knee high boot paired with a midi skirt or dress takes the edge off what would normally be a risky style.
What steers most away from knee high boots at work is seeing the bare knee cap. Hence, a midi option is the perfect antidote.
If you do find yourself sporting a skirt that goes above the knee, like a pencil or flare. I’d head for the thigh high option. Keeping the transition from skirt to boot flush is what you want to aim for.
