How do you solve a problem like summer and autumn arriving at the same time? When the weather calls for shoes that can withstand a fair-share of drizzle, but the humidity is racking up the degrees, the only viable solution? Bare legs and boots.
Of course in an ordinary summer we’d suggest you embrace bare legs and sandals, but this isn’t an ordinary summer. Whilst the rest of Europe seems to get warmer by the day, the UK is stuck in some sort of not-quite-summer-not-quite-autumn purgatory.
There are a few staples we call upon when found in a predicament such as this: a great trench coat to withstand summer showers; a cardigan stowed away in the handbag just-in-case; and a pocket brimming with hair ties and clips in the event that the weather sours on us and we need a touch-up. Another handy trick that we’ve been utilising on the daily is the bare legs and knee boots combo.
Long loved by the fashion crowd, once you get acquainted with the bare legs and knee boots combo, you won’t look back.
We’re head over heels for the midi-dress and boots combo Emily Ratajkowski recently wore in NYC, but you prefer a mini then do not fear as the style lends itself just as well to a good pair of boots.
But why stop at dresses? Below we’ve collated our favourite bare-legs and boots combos to see you through the season, along with some looks that prove that you can wear knee boots with bare legs.
