Why statement thigh high boots are worth it this season
Thigh high boots are the fastest way to make a simple outfit look styled. Pull them on with a sweater dress or a mini skirt and the boots become the whole look.
A statement pair goes further, with a bold color, texture or silhouette that does the talking for you. And you don't have to spend designer money to get there.
Below, we break down what to look for in thigh high boots under $150, the Azalea Wang pairs to shop, and seven ways to wear them through fall and winter.
What to look for in thigh high boots under $150
The right details make an affordable pair look and wear like a splurge. Check these five before you buy.
- The fit at the top. Stretch material or a slouchy shaft helps the boot stay up without pinching. A boot that keeps sliding down won't get worn.
- The closure. An inner zip makes a fitted pair easy to get on and off. Pull-on styles work best with stretch.
- The heel. A block heel is easiest for all-day wear. A stiletto or flared heel is more dramatic for nights out.
- The finish. Glossy faux leather, suede-look and denim all read differently. Choose one that works with what's already in your closet.
- The statement detail. A bold color, a print or a scrunched shaft gives you impact without having to try hard with the rest of the outfit.

7 ways to style statement thigh high boots
- With a sweater dress. The classic fall pairing. A knit mini or midi sweater dress that hits just above or at the top of the boot keeps it cozy and balanced.
- With a mini skirt and oversized knit. A short skirt and a chunky sweater let the boots show off, while the slouchy top keeps the look relaxed.
- With an oversized blazer as a dress. Belt a long blazer and wear it with thigh highs for an easy, editorial night-out look.
- Over skinny jeans or leggings. Tuck slim jeans or leggings into the boots for a casual, everyday way to wear them.
- With a shirt dress. A button-down shirt dress softens the boot and works from brunch to dinner.
- With a faux leather mini. Go tonal with a faux leather skirt and matching boots for a sleek, head-to-toe statement.
- With a long coat. Let a trench or faux fur coat skim the top of the boot so you get a flash of leg and a polished silhouette.
Thigh high boots FAQ
How do I keep thigh high boots from sliding down? Choose a stretch shaft or a style with an adjustable top, and check the shaft height and calf opening against your measurements. Wearing them over tights or leggings also adds grip.
What's the difference between thigh high and over the knee boots? Over the knee boots end just above the knee. Thigh high boots go higher, usually to mid-thigh or above.
Can you wear thigh high boots if you're petite? Yes. A pointed toe and a heel help lengthen the leg, and a shorter skirt or dress that shows a little skin above the boot keeps proportions balanced.
Are thigh high boots work appropriate? They can be. Pair them with a knee-length or midi skirt or dress that covers the top of the boot, and choose a lower heel and a neutral color.
What should I wear with black thigh high boots? Almost anything. Black thigh highs work with sweater dresses, denim, leather skirts and long coats, and they're the easiest pair to style if you're new to the trend.
