Boots and socks are a no-brainer, but with over the knee shoe styles taking center stage, socks are going to have to reach a little higher to make a statement. Try peekaboo knee socks in vibrant hues, scalloped edges or in chevron knit to standout. Over the knee boots in suede, velvet and leather give outfits a little extra oompf in the chic department and can be dressed up or dressed down depending on the occasion. Just be sure to play with contrast and texture so knee socks don’t get lost behind the scenes.
Check out our gallery for over the knee inspiration.
