Business Casual Boots, PLUS Ask Workchic!
Earlier this month, Shecky’s asked you to submit work style questions to Workchic.com. It’s a great opportunity to learn what you are struggling with, and we love finding the solutions to your office styling snafus. Special thanks to user Jenny-o for asking about a key fall piece.
“I have knee high boots. What other ways besides skirts and tights can I wear them to a business casual workplace?”
We hear you, Jenny! Here are a few ways to make your knee high boots office ready.
A skirt is an easy solution for business casual outfits featuring your favorite fall boots. This outfit from Banana Republic features knee high socks instead of tights to complete the look.
We also found a lot of inspiration at Ann Taylor Loft. (Psst! Have you seen Ann Taylor Loft’s Style Studio yet? Four fashion stylists make fall’s best pieces easily wearable!)
1. A ruffled blouse and cardigan dresses up knee high boots worn with denim or skinny trousers. We recommend saving the denim for Casual Friday. You can also try utilizing a capri to tuck into the boot instead of a full pant.
2. Add a blazer for an even more professional look.
3. We also couldn’t resist this adorable outfit. Simply pair a sweater dress with your favorite boots.
Knee high boots tend to look casual. To keep your style office appropriate, go for more professional tops. And you can always wear a wider leg pant over the boot to get more wears out of your favorite shoe. Get creative and have a little fun with your work wardrobe. Hope this helps!

Post a CommentJust got new boots and can’t wait to wear them! Great looks!
total sucker for riding boots
OoOOooh. I almost can’t wait to wear my new boots out
Knee-high boots to work? I suppose it depends on where you work. Some of these outfits are just too casual to be taken seriously in some places. However, at least you suggested to save the denim for casual Friday. Again, depending on the workplace, some outfits are more appropriate than others, but I think young women have to remember that if they want to be taken seriously at work, they have to dress the part. I don’t necessarily mean dowdy or old-maidy, but for goodness sakes, lose the knee-high boots for work!

XO,
Shecky’s
There are so many great styles to choose from this fall! I especially love the ruffled/folded look on a lot of the ankle boots. I’d like to show off the ankle boot with a skirt or leggings but I wasn’t sure if I should stick with the knee high boots for this type of look. Shecky’s what would you suggest?
i love boots that come 2 the knee….
Love my boots! Thanks for the tips
Great ideas!!! I never know what to do with my boots besides skirts and leggings.
love boots with kneehighs
loove boots!
I love boots, these are cute ideas.
Love that there is an appropriate way to incorporate knee high boots with work! So fashionable!!!
Love all the looks. Wish the weather would get cooler so I can wear my boots!
Cute looks. I would wear all of those. I have your classic black boot knee high medium heel and a pair of brown ankle boots low heel for walking around town in.
i like the styles
Yes i would wear that to any job no matter what job role it may be. It looks like a body suit so a see through blouse, blazer or just a plain white blouse left open would be fine. If it was comfortable and I didn’t need to undress every time you needed the loo at work then that gives it the thumbs up here 100%
I love boots! Love these styles.
loving this styling tip
