What is the difference between over-the-knee boot, over-the-knee boot and cuissarde?
- Above the knee: the literal translation of the term would be "above the knee", and that is exactly what the shoe model means. The boot extends above the knee.
- Above the knee: with the term in English it is already clear that it is exactly the same as the previous model; that is, it is only a variation of nomenclature and not of the model.
- Cuissarde: the term refers to a model that goes slightly beyond just above the knee, and extends up to the thigh. This type of boot is also known as a 7/8 boot, as it covers most of the leg.
Models and brand tips for over-the-knee boots:
Leather
Leather models are usually the most popular among long boots. The material is a teaser for various looks and makes the look sexy; it is also a timeless material that can serve for many other winters.
The leather over-the-knee boot can be in various shades, such as black, caramel and beige. And the price varies greatly depending on the brand, but if you do not want to spend a lot and still want an ecologically correct solution, you can opt for models that mimic the skin.
Brands: some well-known manufacturers of leather moccasins or cuissardes are Gucci, Arezzo, Anacapri, Taquilla, among others.
Campeche
The suede finish is all the rage this year, and it couldn't be more appropriate for winter. The material has a very interesting finish, and can be worn both day and night. The style and color can vary greatly, and this allows for a wide variety of suede over-the-knee boot styles.
The only caveat for those who intend to purchase a model above the knee is in relation to the rain, as the material is not compatible with wet and humid days, as it absorbs water.
Brands: Lara, Via Marte, Ramarim
High heels
Over-the-knee boots models are already beautiful by themselves and because they extend down the leg, but winter fashion can still be more powerful and enhance the look with a choice of high heels.
The type of heel can vary a lot and ranges from thin and high options to block type models, which are usually more comfortable.
And besides enhancing and making the look sexy, high heels are still a great ally for short girls to wear over-the-knee or cuissarde boots. The heel, besides guaranteeing a few extra centimeters, also helps to lengthen the legs and that is why short ones are valued.
Brands: Lara, Vizzano, Arezzo
no heels
For those who do not renounce to a comfortable and stylish look, you can bet on the models with musketeers without heels.
The flat versions, despite being very comfortable, ask for some care for short women, who can even bet on these versions above the knee and without heels, but should opt for a balanced look and other tricks that help to lengthen the body.
Brands: Vizzano, Corello, Taquilla
ride
Even those passionate about the riding model can surrender to the over-the-knee boot that follows this style. The model with low heels is super comfortable, and allows you to combine with different looks, which can range from dresses to classic leggings. In addition to varying the look, you can still vary in the choice of model that can be in different materials and colors.
Brands: Schutz, Lara, Arezzo
How to wear over-the-knee boots - Looks:
With skirt
The skirt look with over-the-knee boots is always a great choice. The combination of the shorter garment helps to elongate the legs and becomes a good choice to give the impression of a little more height.
Avoiding models with traditional colors, the cuissarde boot was in a gray tone; the same color that defines the whole look. On the feet, the shoes have a suede finish, while the leather skirt and the knitted blouse give different textures to the look and make a super interesting mix.
For this look, the proposal was to wear a flared leather skirt with a white shirt. On the feet, the over-the-knee boot has a pointed toe and keeps the black look of the skirt, stretching the body and lengthening the legs.
But it looks like
with dress
And it is not that the days are colder that it is not worth leaving the feminine look, that's why the bet dress with boots is amazing. The long shaft of the boots above the knee is an excellent substitute for pants and keeps the legs warm.
For this proposal, the idea was to unite trends, like the over-the-knee boot with the plaid print on the dress. And to complete the winter look, it is worth wearing a knitted jacket with a belt on top, to enhance the waist and make the pieces more fitted to the body.
Better than being fashionable is being fashionable while spending little. And this is the proposal of the look. Enjoy that little summer dress, which has a lighter fabric and prints to compose the look. The proposal is great for cool days and so you can enjoy the clothes all year round.
but it looks like
with pants
If you are the cold type or you love the look with pants, you can also invest in the combination with mosqueteras or cuissarde. And the main tip in this outfit is to choose a tighter trouser model, so that it is not noticeable in the boot.
The look with jeans is a classic and it looks super cool with the mosqueteras boots. In this proposal, the idea was to use lighter pants with black boots, and for the rest of the look, the blazer with scarf made the combination more elegant.
In addition to jeans, another classic piece is leggings and, being tighter, there is no risk of them "lying" inside the boot. For a neater outfit, choose a fabric that goes beyond mesh, such as leather leggings, which really enhance the look.

Com short
For making shorts with musketeers you can follow different styles, and what will determine this is the model of the shorts and the rest of the production. But let's just say that you can take advantage of all the shorts you have in your closet, from denim versions to models in other fabrics.
In this look proposal we went for the destroyed denim shorts model that leaves the look stripped, but it is balanced with the combination of suede high boots with knitted blouse.
Going for the monochromatic look is basic and always charming! And in this case, the all black look was done with asymmetrical shorts and wool blouse. The shoe model without heels only completes the comfortable look and enhances the composition.
but it looks
Now that you've seen that the over-the-knee, over-the-knee boot or cuissarde trend will last for one more winter, it's time to imagine the productions and wait for the cold days to arrive soon.
