The Reason to Wear Mini Hemlines and Knee Boots

This combination is both flirty and practical: skirts or shorts of a short length allow you to expose a leg to wind in the wind, and high boots will allow you to walk or live in mediocre conditions without being afraid of puddles and sudden gusts of wind. Well, it is a chic transitional outfit formula that you can wear up or down through the season.

1. Opt for a Structured Mini Skirt

Choose a made-up mini skirt using denim or twill, which is a thicker fabric. It is not going to take off with the sudden blow of wind. Couple with traditional black knee-high boots to get a street feel in London.

2. Pair of Shorts and a Light Trench

Pair balance shorts with weather-prepared layers. Add a short, new trench coat or a rain jacket with three-four holes, and you are set in Paris or Berlin to take care of the business going on in the city.

3. Select Waterproof footwear

The strong sole leather or synthetic knee-high boots would keep your feet dry whenever caught in sudden rain. Avoid suede when there is imminent rain.

4. When it comes to warm pullover wear, a Woolly Sweater or Knit Top is a great addition.

Complete the outfit with a fitted knit or short sweater to give the perfect combination of warmth and style without bulk. The combination is ideal to use in rooftop lunches during colder days.
