Like puffer jackets, over-the-knee boots are something we can’t really wear daily in a tropical country. But that doesn’t stop us from copping and wearing them with jeans or leggings.
Recently, we’ve seen more celebrities here and abroad wearing this shoe style. KZ Tandingan rocked a white pair during ASAP, while Joey Mead-King made them her Eurotrip essential.
And who can forget the many over-the-knee boots that Ariana Grande wore with her oversized sweaters? It was like her go-to New York outfit for a while.
You may be thinking, “But the leather won’t be good for the humid climate!” We know, that’s why we found non-leather boots you can opt for instead. Go and shop our picks below!
Carlton London High Faux Suede Boots
Let’s start with a classic black pair. This one from Carlton London has a round toe and block heel. These boots are great for walking since your feet will feel snug when you wear them. Just don’t get them wet! Available on Zalora PH.
Proenza Schouler Knit Thing high Boots
Also a black boot option is this Proenza Schouler pair. They’re made from knit ribbed fabric with gold-toned heels. It’s basically like thigh-high socks with heels, so you can wear these with your mini-skirts. Available on Shopbop.
Dune London Tullulah Buckle Star Over the Knee Boot
According to WhoWhatWear, cowboy boots have become this season’s trendiest shoe next to Chelsea boots. If you’re looking for something similar minus the spur and elaborate design, Dune London has a gray boot made from synthetic material. Wear this with your skinny jeans, T-shirt, and denim jacket. (10-gallon hat is optional—or just don’t wear one.) Available at Shangri-La Plaza.
Forever 21 Faux Suede Over-the Knee Boots
These remind us of the boots Ariana likes to wear because of its creased design. They’re made from faux suede and the taupe color is a nice neutral shade to wear. Feel free to wear this with shorts or a sweater dress for that winter-but-not-really feel. Available at SM Makati.
Charles & Keith Pointed Thigh High Boots
Time to take that #extra step with these plaid boots from Charles & Keith. They’re made from red and black fabric, which is said to be perfect paired with a mini dress to fully show off its length—as well as your legs, of course. These have a pointed toes and kitten heels, which might not be ideal for some when walking long distances. Available at Power Plant Mall.
