12 Outfits to Wear With White Boots

May 2024 · 4 minute read

White boots are among the most perplexing footwear. Difficult (though not impossible) to keep clean and prone to looking like a costume, white boots are definitely not for everybody. That said, knowing how to style them shouldn't be the reason you're not strutting your stuff in a pair right now. Despite being flashier, white boots operate in the same way that black boots do—and they don't actually clash with outfits the way you might expect, as the looks ahead will prove.

Whether you love an over-the-knee, thigh-high, or ankle-grazing boot, you're going to love at least one of the dozen ways to style white boots we've rounded up for you to try.

With a Matching Shorts Set

Give your fave pair of white combat or moto boots a street-style update by pairing them with a printed shorts set. Don't be afraid to go for bold prints or bright colors—the white boots act as a neutral and tie the look together.

With a Cargo Skirt

Not only do cargo skirts have real, useful pockets, but they also look great with a pair of white boots. A longer skirt calls for a platform boot or heeled bootie, while a shorter cargo skirt works well with lower-heeled styles.

With a Bold Print

White boots always feel a bit mod and what better way to lean into that retro vibe than with a boldly printed shirt dress? It's a maximalist look that requires minimal effort. We love to see it.

With a High-Low Hem

Direct the eye to your favorite pair of white lace-up boots by wearing a dress with a high-low hemline. There's no wrong or right color here, but cooler tones, pastels, and white-accented dresses will look the most elevated and cohesive.

With Crochet

For a statement-making look, tease a pair of over-the-knee white boots by wearing a long, crocheted maxi dress or skirt that your boots just peek through. It's the old "leave them wanting more" approach and it's perfect for summer.

With a Sequined Midi

For a night out on the town, we love a white boot with a sequined midi dress. The longer hemline adds an air of sophistication that doesn't rob the outfit of its whimsy and playfulness.

With a Floral Sundress

For a look with Coastal Cowgirl energy, combine white cowboy boots with a floral dress. We recommend opting for a more structured silhouette, rather than flouncy tiers or ruffles, when it comes to picking a floral dress for this look for a more understated feel.

With Statement Jeans

A pair of high-heeled white boots, a crisp white top, and statement jeans are an off-duty model look if we've ever seen one. Rather than reaching for rhinestone-studded or distressed denim, we recommend opting for jeans that feature painting or embroidery for a more elevated feel.

With Hot Pants

Calling all fashion girlies! This extra look is for you. Hot pants plus knee-high white boots and an embellished leather jacket is a hot 'fit built for hot weather. Just be sure to temp-check surfaces before you sit down.

With a Denim Miniskirt

Main character energy, but make it casual. A pair of thigh-high white boots and a denim mini-skirt is a combination that feels major without trying too hard. To lean into the effortlessness of this look, grab a baseball cap and a loosely fitting top.

With a Statement Maxi Skirt

For a semi-formal show-stopping look, pair a lacy bralette with a voluminous maxi skirt and a pair of white platform boots. Opt for a top in a similar shade to your boots since the skirt is the star of the show in this 'fit.

With Paper Bag Shorts

If you've got a pair of white boots with black soles, this is the look for you. A cropped denim top, black paper bag shorts, and a black-and-white handbag create a fashion-forward vibe, without being too monochromatic.
