Today's Style Trends: Over The Knee Boots

This Autumn/Winter, make sure to look out for the ultra sophisticated over the knee boot! This trend is by far the easiest way to make a look sexy, sleek, and sophisticated. This look has been seen on the runway by a multitude of designers such as Tibi, Phillip Lim, Chanel, Céline, and many more. They were notably the stand out piece to each outfit they were featured in!


We've also seen street style icons such as Olivia Palermo, Danielle Bernstein, and Miranda Kerr wear over the knee booties!


Though this trend can be somewhat expensive if you want the very well made leather boots, you can get a slightly more affordable over the knee boot at ASOS, Macy's, and even Bloomingdales! You can wear this look even with over the knee socks, or tights for added warmth if where you live gets slightly cold.

This trend is definitely going to make your looks stand out this season! Pair them with an oversized sweater, shift dress, or leather skirt, and you can master the style easily. 
Here are some looks on how to style the looks this season:

Today's Style Trend: Overalls

A trend that we are all seeing this summer and fall is not for the faint of heart. Somewhat controversial, we are seeing amazing amounts of prominent style figures wearing… wait for it: overalls. Worn by Alexa Chung, Danielle Bernstein, Miroslava Duma, and Eleanor Calder. Overalls, also called dungarees, are making a comeback. Is this old eighties trend adorable or crossing the line of costume-y farmer?

Coming in a variety of fabrics, cuts, and lengths, overalls have been seen gracing the runways of Ralph Lauren, Roberto Cavalli, Balmain, Chloé, 3.1 Philip Lim, Rebecca Minkoff, Altuzarra, and Jean Paul Gaultier.

Though available to the few who can afford these high-end designers, brands such as Topshop, Zara, American Apparel, Free People, Urban Outfitters, and ASOS have made the new trend available to the general public in the same varieties shown on the runway, but for a fraction of the price. These brands have also translated overalls so that they can be worn by girls with different styles.

For example, if your style is more classic, Topshop’s full-length denim bleach overalls can be easily paired with a lace Peter Pan collar top, pointed toe flats, cross body satchel, bolwer hat, and Ray-Ban aviators.


But if a girl with an edgier style purchases a pair of overalls, she can get Zara’s distressed shorts pair, pairing it with cut out booties, a graphic tee, studded bag, pork pie hat, and Ray-Ban wayfarers. 


Go boho with Free People’s short floral dungarees, a cream peasant blouse, heeled ankle booties, tote bag, fedora, and Ray-Ban clubmasters.


Overall, pun intended, overalls are a versatile wardrobe staple that, if worn without cowboy boots and hat, is super stylish and easy to wear throughout the year.
