I'm Wearing Thigh-High Boots as Much as Possible This Season—Here's How

@georgia_3.0; Szymon Brzóska/The Style Stalker; @xbibigul; @chasingoutfits; @noellevenegasReal talk: While thigh-high boots may be a fan favorite among designers, fashion girls, and women everywhere, they aren't exactly the easiest to wear. Coming up with thigh-high boot outfits can feel as taxing as slipping them off at the end of a long day. And while they may elicit step-on-me feelings, they're not exactly the easiest boots to wear to get your steps in, if you catch my drift. But, as knee-high boots and over-the-knee boots have surged in popularity, it's only a matter of time before thigh-high boots inch up even further.
If you experienced existential dread while reading that last sentence, take a deep breath—I'm about to prove to you that thigh-high boots actually aren't that difficult to style. The best thigh-high boot outfits of the moment are easier to replicate and wear than they were in previous seasons. You'll just have to keep scrolling to see for yourself.

The best part about wearing thigh-high boots is being able to show them off, so whether you own a pair of snake-print boots or another bold pair, be sure to wear them with a dress with a high-slit to show off your boots in all their glory.

WEAR: Turtleneck, sweater vest, Bermuda shorts, and thigh-high boots.
If you can't imagine wearing a dress during the winter but also struggle to wear your thigh-high boots over jeans or pants, then I recommend pairing them with Bermuda shorts. Not only will you get to show off your shoes, but your legs will stay warm in the process.

For the Bermuda-short adverse, you don't have to toss out the thought of pairing your thigh-high boots with shorts. Just swap out the Bermuda cut for your favorite blue-jean shorts, and you've got an equally chic look. Pro tip: The boots are the focus of this look, so don't be afraid to opt for your boldest pair of thigh-high booties.

You don't have to miss out on thigh-high boot outfits if you live in a warmer climate. In fact, you can get creative with your look by wearing your boots with fewer layers. Pair them with a fringe coat or fleece jacket (depending on the temperature) and a simple tank and mini skirt for a warm-weather look that allows you to wear your boots without overheating.

WEAR: Oversize blazer, sweatshirt, belt, and thigh-high boots.
If the thought of wearing just a blazer made you shiver, don't fret. You can still pull off a similar thigh-high boot look by throwing a sweatshirt or sweater underneath your oversize blazer to add another layer of warmth to your outfit.

When it comes to perfecting a thigh-high boot outfit, it's important to get comfortable playing with various colors, fabrics, and combinations. Try styling your thigh-high boots this season by pairing them with your trusted silk slip skirt and a matching sweater. The mix of fabrics along with your shoes will give off an expensive aura (even if your look didn't break the bank).

WEAR: Oversize statement coat and thigh-high boots.
Depending on your height, an over-the-knee boot can become a thigh-high one. But there's no need to fret because you can still make this look work for you no matter what. Just pair your boots with an oversize coat for a look that's precisely on-trend this season.

WHAT: Lespecs sunglasses; Zara Faux Leather Oversized Blazer ($70).
WEAR: Black mini dress, leather blazer, and thigh-high boots.
The other staple outerwear piece of the season (other than a fun coat) is a leather blazer. And blazers just so happen to be the perfect piece to pair with thigh-high boots. I recommend taking the seasonal staple to the next level by doing a head-to-toe monochrome look (in black or any hue of your choosing).

WHAT: Men's blazer; H&M Faux Leather Leggings ($25); Don Donna bag; Shein boots.
WEAR: Oversize blazer, leather leggings, thigh-high boots.
Let's be real: Leggings have been the bottoms of choice (if we're wearing pants at all) this year. But if you are feeling compelled to dress up a bit, then you can slip into a pair of leather leggings and your thigh-high boots for an effortless look that appears far more polished than it actually is.

WHAT: Long Champ sweater; Barbara Bui skirt; Nicholas Kirkwood Lexi 70mm Snake-Print Leather Boots ($1395); Staud Soft Moon Bag Cream ($395).
WEAR: Holiday sweater, leather skirt, shoulder bag, and thigh-high boots.
As you can tell, leather separates are by far one of the season's biggest trends. But if you're not a fan of leather blazers or pants, opting for a leather skirt to go with your thigh-high boots will work wonders, too.

Still here, but not convinced of the power of thigh-high boots? I can personally attest that these boots are a staple you can wear season after season. And while thigh-high boot outfits require a bit of creativity, you won't regret wearing them.
These boots would look so good with this Paco Rabanne Jacquard-Knit Turtleneck Maxi Dress ($790).
The season's trendiest thigh-high boots also happen to be flats, which I'm very much here for.
No lie, I allocate at least twenty minutes a week to staring at these boots.
You can't go wrong with black suede thigh-high boots.
Leave it to a Black-owned, Texas-based small brand to create the coolest thigh-high boots I've ever seen.
Imagine these boots with a pleated skirt and sweater.
These would go perfectly with your skinny jeans.
White boots are never a bad idea.
I'm pretty sure Rihanna would wear these.
