THE 4 RULES OF WEARING KNEE-HIGH BOOTS

WHEN YOU'RE SHORT

We asked Ashlyn Greer, a professional stylist, to share her best advice for how to style and choose the perfect pair of knee-high boots when you're petite.

THE BOOT SHOULD HIT 2" BELOW THE KNEE FOR THE BEST FIT

The height of the boot is one of the biggest factors when it comes to a more flattering fit, says Greer.

THE MOST FLATTERING KNEE-HIGH BOOT IS ONE THAT DIPS IN THE FRONT

The reason? The V shape can help elongate your legs, making you appear taller, says Greer.

to balance out sartorial proportions, show some skin

Opt for a mini skirt of a midi and maxi that has a high slit rather than bottoms that totally cover you up.

DON'T SHY AWAY FROM A BOOT WITH A HEEL

Even if it's just a kitten or block heel, a little bit of extra height is usually going to look better than a flat boot if you're petite.
