Still tied to the pop aesthetic of the 2010s, over-the-knee boots are now making a striking comeback on the runway. Once overlooked, they\u2019re gradually reclaiming ground on their way into our wardrobes. Worn as part of a monochrome total look, styled with bold volumes, or reimagined with a utilitarian twist, they\u2019re shedding the ultra-sexy image that long defined them to explore new fashion territories. Let\u2019s break it down.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet another <\/strong>revival<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes, but this revival<\/em> comes with many facets. While major retailers may have pushed over-the-knee boots into the background in recent seasons, fashion houses never truly let them go. This season, they\u2019re everywhere. At Ferragamo<\/strong>, they\u2019re part of a head-to-toe green look<\/strong>, playing with monochrome elegance. Ala\u00efa <\/strong>and Balmain<\/strong> take a similar approach, letting the boots vanish seamlessly into the silhouette: they become a second skin, almost invisible, like a natural extension of the leg. At Gucci<\/strong>, they\u2019re the star of an audacious, colorful composition<\/strong>, where burgundy, mustard, and lime green intertwine in an ultra-sophisticated palette<\/strong>. Chlo\u00e9, true to its bohemian spirit<\/strong>, offers a softer version: the boots peek through the sheer fabric of a dress, with the material deliberately tucked inside to draw the eye and create a striking contrast between airy lightness and the firmness of leather. The result? A commanding silhouette that still retains its sense of ease.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s often the details, even the subtlest ones, that make all the difference. Isabel Marant<\/strong> adds character with horizontal zips, while Acne Studios<\/strong> plays with unexpected, almost utilitarian straps. At Bottega Veneta<\/strong>, over-the-knee boots are crafted in the house\u2019s signature woven leather, becoming a canvas for artisanal savoir-faire. In contrast, Courr\u00e8ges<\/strong> and Balenciaga<\/strong> embrace radical simplicity with ultra-minimalist designs, true heeled socks that revive the spirit of the 2010s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Men are not to be outdone<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Men are embracing over-the-knee boots too and not timidly. At Saint Laurent<\/strong>, in Anthony Vaccarello\u2019s Fall-Winter<\/strong> 2025 collection, male models strode the runway in rigid, thigh-adjustable boots, sometimes blending seamlessly with leather trousers, other times standing out against tailored suit pants. Inspired by the BDSM wardrobe<\/strong>, they bring a fresh energy to masculine silhouettes. Actor Pedro Pascal<\/strong> even sported them on the red carpet at the premiere of The Last of Us<\/em> series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the other end of the spectrum, some houses are exploring a more functional approach. Aigle<\/strong>, for instance, reinterprets its own utilitarian codes<\/strong> by reinventing oversized fisherman\u2019s boots. Less dramatic, but just as assertive, they reflect a desire to anchor the over-the-knee boot in everyday life, far from runways and red carpets. In both cases, the men\u2019s over-the-knee boot seems intent on going mainstream. The only question left: which boot will you slip into?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over-the-knee boots: A how-to guide<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Worn directly on the skin, they slip under a sweater dress or an oversized shirt for a look that\u2019s as comfortable as it is sensual. Styled over leather trousers, they play the tone-on-tone card, borrowing codes that are equal parts military and BDSM. And for those who still hold a soft spot for the 2010s, they can be pulled over ultra-skinny jeans, a deliberate nod to the pop silhouettes once championed by Ariana Grande.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Content creator Marie Gaguech<\/strong> proves the point. While on a press trip with Longchamp<\/strong>, she chose an XXL pair of over-the-knee boots. Torn between a black version and a burgundy one, she shows that these boots still have undeniable impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Far from a mere nostalgic comeback, the over-the-knee boot is asserting itself as a piece in transformation. Reinvented by fashion houses, reappropriated by influencers as well as menswear, it defies labels. More versatile and at times even conceptual, it proves this season that it has reclaimed center stage, and this time, for good.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
