If one thing is for certain, boots are to fall what sandals are to summer. But determining which style reigns supreme each season, well, that’s up to the runways! As for fall 2023? It’s the over-the-knee boot. 

In recent collections, the fashion industry has toyed between the chunky combat and the second skin, the western-inspired and the equestrian, the reimagined welly and the distressed biker—we’ve even witnessed the resurgence of the Chelsea boot thanks to Jonathan Anderson at Loewe. And, while each of these styles earned the spotlight in their own right, a leggy fall/winter 2023 is in the forecast.

As seen at Bottega Veneta, Isabel Marant, Khaite, Loewe, and Proenza Schouler, to name a few, the over-the-knee boot took the fall/winter 2023 runways in stride last February, proving victorious as this season’s go-to boot. Modern iterations of the thigh-high styles popularized in the 1960s peaked through draped dresses and oversized trench coats, paired well with micro mini silhouettes, and added an unexpected flair to tailored pieces.

From the runways to the streets, step into fall this season with over-the-knee boots at every price point. Opt for a slouchy leather to achieve that effortlessly chic style, keep it classic with a fall suede, or take on a print to instantly elevate any look. No matter the price, embrace fall’s best over-the-knee boots with the statement-making staples below.
