For me, there's no better time of year than the autumn-to-winter transition. Between the crisp mornings, bright afternoons and the return of layering, there's no part I don't adore.
What's more, in my book, this period is the best time to wear my favourite outfit combination: a skirt with knee-high boots. Chic and elegant, this timeless outfit pairing imparts a sophisticated silhouette that I can't get enough of. From floor-sweeping maxi skirts to ultra-mini styles, I always find that a knee-high boot is the perfect accompaniment to any skirt I pull from my wardrobe. Inspired to make the most of the not-too-hot but not-too-cold climate we're experiencing right now, and with so many excellent skirt trends having a moment, below, I've done the research and tracked down the exact skirt-and-knee-high boots outfits fashion people are wearing right now. Read on to see what I found.
7 SKIRT-AND-KNEE-HIGH BOOTS OUTFITS I'M COPYING THIS WINTER
1. DENIM SKIRT + WOOL COAT + KNEE-HIGH BOOTS
Style Notes: Denim skirts can sometimes look a little casual, but a sleek knee-high boot entirely transforms the energy. To lift your look even more, style it with a chic wool layer and select your boots in a pointed-toe style.
Shop the Look:
Style with black tailored trousers or wear with a sleek denim column skirt.
This comes in sizes 2 22.
The wide leg gives these a modern, minimalist edge.
2. PLEATED SKIRT + ROOMY KNIT + KNEE-HIGH BOOTS
Style Notes: Contrast the tough energy of a tall knee-high boot by pairing it with a lightweight pleated skirt. To give your look a wintery feel, add a V-neck knit and style with a spattering of accessories.
Shop the Look:
Bundle up in style.
Style this over a roll neck or wear on its own.
This also comes in black.
The angular toe gives these a masculine edge.
3. SUEDE SKIRT + BURGUNDY KNEE-HIGH BOOTS
Style Notes: In my opinion, suede skirts are a surefire way to ensure your outfit looks elevated and expensive. Lean into the luxurious energy of supple suede and style a chic knee-grazing skirt with a pair of boots in the colour of the season—burgundy—for an elevated 'fit you'll reach for all winter long.
Shop the Look:
Soft Goat's cashmere is some of the cosiest I've ever tried.
These are well on their way to selling out.
Style with a suede skirt or pair with a black mini.
4. TAILORED SKIRT + TRENCH COAT + KNEE-HIGH BOOTS
Style Notes: The runways have spoken, and sleek, office-inspired style is trending hard this winter. One of the easiest routes to a polished look is to style a neatly tailored skirt with knee-high boots and a wool coat for an elegant ensemble any editor would happily wear.
Shop the Look:
This also comes in eight other shades.
This comes in sizes XXS 4XL.
Style with knee-high boots or pointed-toe slingbacks.
These will be so versatile in a winter capsule wardrobe.
5. MINISKIRT SET + KNEE-HIGH BOOTS
Style Notes: Make your miniskirt feel all the more elevated by shopping a style that corresponds with a matching top or jacket. In a fresh cream shade, Magdalena Maria Gontarz's outfit (above) is easy to style with a wide range of shoe colours, but I prefer a light brown suede pair to lean into the fresh palette.
Shop the Look:
Wear this on its own or layer it over a roll neck.
This fresh cream colour is so expensive-looking.
Suede boots will be everywhere this winter.
6. MAXI SKIRT + CARDIGAN + KNEE-HIGH BOOTS
Style Notes: In my opinion, there are few items that can compete with the chicness of a floor-grazing maxi skirt. Whilst the weather remains chilly, style with knee-high boots and layer over a woolly cardigan for a cosy ensemble you'll still feel great in.
Shop the Look:
I love the boxy cut of this V-neck cardigan.
The chocolate-brown colour trend is taking off this winter.
Biker boots are back.
7. SILK SKIRT + SUEDE KNEE-HIGH BOOTS
Style Notes: Any fashion person knows that a pretty silk skirt is worth its weight in gold. Whilst it's versatile enough to wear with trainers and heels, I think this chic skirt looks best when worn with a pair of classic knee-high boots in the fabric of the season—suede.
Shop the Look:
This is such a great price.
Style with a boat-neck top for a chic evening-ready look.
In my opinion, these are amongst the best pairs of boots on the high street right now.
