5 WAYS TO WEAR MID-CALF BOOTS

LONG VEST + BODYSUIT + HIGH-WAIST JEANS

This look is Running Errands Chic or Restaurant Ready.

These boots are just as casual as they are dressy… it all depends on what you style them with!

Glean from the pieces in this look:

1. If you have a longer vest/cardigan in your closet use that instead of having to buy this version.

2. Choose any bodysuit you have that matches your vest.

3. Any skinny jeans would work for this look as long as there is no visible bunching.

STYLE TIP: to prevent bunching at the ankle- tuck the bottom of your pants into a sock before you slip them on and try to make sure the sock is not visible.

BODYCON MIDI-DRESS + MIDI-CALF BOOTS

This look works for anyone comfortable to wear a version of this fitted dress.

STYLE TIP:

1. For bodycon dresses, you can always upsize to give you more room, but just make sure it fits in your shoulders still.

2. If you like this look but want a bit more coverage… layering is your friend! Layer with a cardigan, jacket, or long vest.

3. Also, be mindful that the space between the hem of the dress and the height of your mid-calf boot does not accentuate the thickest part of your leg if you have muscular calves.

Kim’s Picks

Keep the boots you already own and try a new dress or knit layer around them. Look at where the dress hem, cardigan and boot shaft meet to find proportions you enjoy.
