Okay, we get it, the vampy temptress leather look is in, big time, and nothing gets that message across better than a dramatic over the knee boot. The only problem is, one of these dream boots in leather or suede can quickly make your innocent little black dress look not quite so innocent. So, here’s how we’re toning down this style of the moment and making it our own.

First of all, when choosing your boot, go for a slightly more reserved tone and either a modest heel (no stilettos ladies, you are not Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman) or none at all. Next, try a comfy cotton legging for easy boot tuckage and an oversized boyfriend shirt to counter balance the super-sex appeal of your footwear. To complete the look, we suggest you get in on some of the other big fall trends with a unique denim jacket and a lightweight scarf in a fun print.
