Extra-tall boots are back baby, so dust off your going-out clothes and get ready to rejoin the party.
The pandemic has left us craving to get off the couch and back into heels and hard pants. And, if there’s ever a style of boots that’s primed for a night on the town, it’s OTK boots.
For further proof that thigh-high boots are taking over, just take a look at the fall runway collections and you’ll notice there was hardly a show that didn’t have the models strutting down the catwalk in this daring style of boots.
All of us vegans can now get in on this resurging trend too, as I’ve searched high and low for the best vegan versions.
Warning: None of the models I’ve featured below are from fast-fashion brands, so the prices (and quality) are higher than if you bought a pair from Pretty Little Thing, Forever 21, or Nasty Girl.

FAQs
Are over-the-knee boots still in style?
Thigh-high boots or over-the-knee boots (OTK) are definitely back in style. They were all over the fall runways, making them one of the biggest boot trends of the season.
Where to buy vegan over-the-knee boots?
You’ll find vegan over-the-knee (thigh-high) boots from Aera, Stella McCartney, Sylth Virago, Matt & Nat, Cult of Coquette, and Femme.
Can you wear over-the-knee boots with jeans?

For a modest style, pair your thigh-high boots with skinny jeans, leggings, or tights. For a night out, style your OTK boots with a men’s button-down shirt or short dress. It’s best to pick a dress with long sleeves or wear a jacket over it (a faux leather moto jacket works well) so you reveal just a hint of skin.
