Only one problem though, I don\u2019t know how to wear them. They are a high-heeled brown leather pair with a fold-down, knit cuff. They are much more stylized than I am used to.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><em>I was online today attempting to find something to wear with these knit-cuff boots, but I am not sure what I should be looking for. Skirt, pants, jeans? And advice on where to shop would be excellent.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Knit cuff boots 101<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>First, give your husband a kiss for trying his hand at fashion. That&#8217;s so sweet!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Second, to answer your question: The best way to wear knit cuff boots is with dark-wash skinny jeans or even leggings. This is because you need a sleek pant to tuck into those boots. A baggy pant will gather up around the knit cuff and look like pantaloons.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"568\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/ext\/embed.html?id=815573813854056244\" width=\"450\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You obviously can&#8217;t wear pants over your knit cuffs. That would look like you&#8217;re out shoplifting and stashing the goods up your pant legs around the knee. Plus, the whole point is to show off the knit cuff as a stylistic element &#8212; so covering it up doesn&#8217;t make any sense.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You could also wear a mini skirt, but that look tends to work well only for younger fashionistas &#8212; you know, skinny girls in California who mix winter pieces with summer pieces all year long.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you want to try a skirt with your knit cuffs, shoot for a hemline that&#8217;s several inches above your knee. A hemline that&#8217;s too close to your knee or the boot top will probably look awkward. I find that makes my knee look larger than it actually is.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Looking for knit cuff boots?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you landed on this post looking for knit cuff boots, here&#8217;s my advice. Don&#8217;t buy them! Instead, get yourself a pair of boots you adore, and then buy knit boot cuffs separately.
