There are things that you should never wear when you have your knee-high boots on, since not all outfits can be worn while pairing them with these types of boots. It is not recommended to wear a knee-high boot with puffer vests, as it is known as the Han Solo style and this is the reason why knee-high boots and riding boots fell out of the favor of stylists in the first place. Another style that you should not go for is pairing knee high boots with ponchos, as it is the Star Wars style territory. You should also not pair your knee-high boots with cropped pants, as this kind of look does not match everyone and not everyone can rock the look, so just to be on the safe side, it is better not to try it, unless you look good in it. The reason behind this is that the cropped pants can make your body look distorted and it can also make it look like your pants shrunk. And of course, you should never wear a knee-high boot with lots of layers, like vests and utility jackets, tunics with long scarves and tunics with multiple layers. These should not be paired up at all as it will make you look bulk from head to toe and it will not do your figure any favor.
