The collection’s embroidered knee‑highs—from Off-White to Almond and Black—are the boots that elevate everything. They’re structured enough to hold their form, detailed enough to feel statement-making.
How to Style Knee‑High Boots Fall 2025
1. Mini Dress + Embroidery Boots
For a gameday look that’s sweet and bold, style the Gemma Animal Spots Dress with Peter Pan Collar under either the Black or Almond boots. The playful animal print contrasts perfectly with the embroidery. Add layered necklaces or raffia bag to finish the look.
2. Midi Skirt + Knit + Almond Boots
Transition your outfit with style. Pair a soft midi skirt with a cropped knit and Almond embroidered boots—the mix of cozy and crisp makes the boots pop while keeping you warm.
3. Shirt + Short Set
Try styling a short set with knee-high boots to add a touch of edge and elevate your fall outfit. The structured shorts and matching top, woven with subtle metallic threading, pair perfectly with the boots for a look that’s both chic and daring.
4. Animal Dress + Boot Extension
Take the same Gemma dress and let the boots extend from underneath—a sweet + tough combo. Accessorize simply—hoops, bold shade, mini bag—to let the boots do the talking.
How to Transition Knee-High Boots from Day to Night
One of the best things about knee-high boots? They effortlessly switch gears from casual daywear to night-out glam.
-
Day: Pair your boots with a cozy knit, denim jacket, and a mini skirt or loose jeans cuffed just right. Add a crossbody bag for hands-free style while you run errands or grab brunch.
-
Night: Swap the denim for the Animal Spots Dress or a sleek midi dress from the collection. Layer with a statement blazer or leather jacket. Finish with bold earrings and a clutch for an instant glow-up.
The key? Balance your outfit’s mood by mixing textures and silhouettes, letting the boots be the statement piece that ties it all together.
