AUTUMN & WINTER OUTFITS

On colder days, boots aren't just a fashionable eye-catcher—they also need to withstand the weather and keep your legs and feet warm. During the colder months, pairing a long dress with boots will keep you feeling warm and looking chic. A knee-length sweater dress paired with flat Chelsea boots or leather boots with heels perfectly combines style and functionality. Add a long or short coat and a chic cashmere beanie, and your winter outfit becomes a true fashion statement.  

If you’re wondering what dresses to wear with knee high boots, mini dresses are a great choice. Depending on your preference and sensitivity to the cold, you can leave a small gap between the boots and the dress to show some leg. High-quality leather over-the-knee boots are perfect for a mini dress. Alternatively, a maxi dress with boots is very stylish, too. Elegant ankle boots with a bodycon dress create a harmonious look, while studded boots add finesse to mini or shift dresses.

Cozy knit dresses are great to wear with tights and ankle boots. Knee-high boots also pair perfectly with knitted dresses. Match them with coloured tights or knee-high socks for a seamless transition, creating the ideal dress-and-boots combo for autumn to look stylish and snug at the same time!

An elegant dress paired with ankle boots is not complete without high-quality accessories that round off the overall look and refine it. With these details, you give your wardrobe that special something: 

•  
•  Jewellery 
  For a strapless dress, less is more. Instead of statement pieces like necklaces and earrings, opt for jewellery that accentuates the dress. Square necklines pair well with collar and choker necklaces. For summer dresses with bold prints, opt for subtle jewelry, such as a thin necklace with a single pendant.
  
  
• Hats & caps
  For a fashionable casual look, baseball caps pair well with midi dresses and boots. A Panama hat is a stylish choice for spring and summer. During summer, you can also opt for wide-brimmed sun hats or colorful bucket hats. Wool or felt hats, combined with a matching dress and boots, refine any autumn outfit.
  
  
• Bags
  If your knee-high boots really stand out in colour, it's important to choose a matching bag. Clutches are ideal for formal occasions and perfectly complement ankle boots with an elegant dress. For a chic summer style, a casual dress to wear with boots creates a perfect blend of comfort and style. Opt for a playful summer dress with boots, then add a denim jacket and a small backpack to complete the look.

• AT THE OFFICE

•  
• DURING YOUR LEISURE TIME
• or a city trip or a walk in the park, flat ankle boots with a dress are ideal for any season. Ankle boots are popular because they visually lengthen the leg and are easier to style than other types of boots. Chelsea boots, in particular, are perfect all-rounders that pair wonderfully with knee-length dresses. They are easy to put on and take off, ensuring you get through the day with comfort and ease while looking stylish.

• ON HOLIDAY
• When traveling, it's essential to pack a pair of versatile boots to wear with dresses, ensuring you stay stylish and comfortable on the go.

For the matching boots, let your imagination run wild, but consider the temperatures at your destination. Choose a combination that balances comfort and style, especially if you'll be on foot for long periods.
