6 reasons to ‘do a Gigi’ and invest in a pair of FAB over-the-knee boots
She’s the model of the moment, and so any trend beloved of Gigi Hadid gets a massive thumbs-up in our books – which is why we are so obsessed with over-the-knee boots this season.
Unlike other trends rocked by Gigi and the Victoria’s Secret crew, we don’t need to be runway models to sport these stylish babies, and they are infinitely versatile.
Do we sound obsessed? Well, we kind of are – and here are six reasons why you should be, too.
1. They go with everything
Roll them over your jeans or slip them on under a shift dress – the combinations are endless with a pair of over-the-knee boots, and we have yet to find an outfit that they don’t complete.
2. They’re easy to wear
The winter months are traditionally all about the ankle boot, which makes total sense: they’re comfy, they’re stylish and they’re totally versatile. But, enter the flat over-the-knee boot, and you’re getting all the benefits of your old favourite – but with a sexy, new-season twist. We love these royal-blue babies from iClothing.

3. They’re the perfect party shoe
Fed up of limping home, stilettos in hand, after a night on the tiles? You need to invest in a pair of over-the-knee boots this party season! Not only do they look amazing with dresses, playsuits and leather leggings, but they are super-comfy, too.
4. They instantly glam up any outfit
There’s something about a pair of over-the-knee boots that just oozes Bond-girl levels of glamour. This is perfect for the jeans-lovers out there – popping on a pair of over-the-knee boots will add an instant layer of glam to your look. Invest in a great neutral pair, like these sassy grey boots from iClothing.

5. They’re the ultimate confidence-boosters
Not only do over-the-knee boots elongate your legs to Gigi-levels, but they are ridiculously sexy and flattering. Just try on a pair, and you’ll see what we mean! Ticking the trend boxes and making us feel like goddesses? We’re sold.
6. You’ll get loads of wear out of them
As mentioned, these babies look amazing with pretty much any outfit, from your most basic leggings and T-shirt to your fancy playsuit. They’re not just a winter phenomenon though; the versatility of over-the-knee boots means you can expect to wear them well into the spring and beyond. Basic black is always a good option, as you can see below.
