ARE tall boots too casual to wear to the office? The answer depends on where you work and the corporate culture. Here are some dos and don’ts to look professional in tall boots when you are heading to the office or meeting a client:

The general rule is, the more conservative the office, the less likely tall boots are appropriate. However, in a business casual workplace, tall boot are quite acceptable so long as you do not wear them with a very short skirt. Paired with the right outfit, like a classic dress or a conservative skirt and top, tall boots can be just fine.

Mix bright neutrals and tuck white skinny jeans into the shaft of a pair of boots in a perfect autumn brown. Top with an oversize knit on cold days.

Want to rock the ‘70s trend, but not a fan of the high-waisted trouser? Opt for a miniskirt and top, finishing off the look with a pair of suede boots.

For an office look, go for a skirt with more of a pencil shape and top it with a print. Slip into knee-high boots in deep black to tie everything together.

Here is a look at a few general guidelines to help you know what to look for

Choose a classic boot that does not have too much hardware or gimmicky detail such as studs, laces, etc.

Conservative colours are best for business, like black and brown.

No shiny patent leather boots — save them for after work. They’re too “pretty lady.”

Quality counts – Leather or suede is rich and classy.

Semi-opaque or opaque tights help balance the weight of the boot.

Stay clear of over the knee and thigh high boots. They’re for after hours and are not professional in business.

Keep your boots polished and clean. No scuffs.

No booties with fur embellishment. This is too much of a fashion statement for the workplace.

Avoid short skirts with tall boots. Skirts need to be just above to just below the knee.

Yes, you can wear tall boots with pants, but don’t tuck in. This is too rustic a look.

Flat boots are more casual than boots with a heel. Make sure they are not too casual.

Mix bright neutrals and tuck white skinny jeans into the shaft of a pair of boots in a perfect autumn brown. Top with an oversize knit on cold days.
