3 Non-Intimidating Ways to Wear Over-the-Knee Boots

Stemon Three Tone Block Heel Boots

Post-fall shoe haul, it's likely you already have some classic black booties — and that's where these babies come in! I absolutely love this tri-toned pair of block heels to add a dash of fun to any look. The metallic accents are super on-trend right now, and the shiny vibes are perfect for these more twinkly months. They also come in a black variation, if you're looking for something different!

Wheedle Croc High Heeled Calf Boots

We've made it explicitly known that red is our color, through and through. So obviously I had to add these tall boots to the roundup! This pair is sexy and chic, elevating your style to the next level with the croc-embossed faux leather. Not feeling the red? You can choose from two other colors — plus, they're on sale for $59!

Women's Shelby Slingback Ballet Flats with Memory Foam Insole

Now these? These are absolutely darling! Ballet flats are back and truly better than ever right now — as exhibited by this bow-embellished pair from Target. The slight shimmer adds just enough sparkle without being too much, and the bow could go with everything from a pair of jeans and a sweater to your fave holiday look! These $35 shoes also come in red if you're feeling bold!

Women's Taylor Jet Studded Kitten Heel Ankle Boots with Memory Foam Insole

IDK how to explain it, but I just know Emily would slay these in Paris. She'd likely dress them in an unexpected way — I'm envisioning sweats and a beret? IDK? — and I'd immediately try to recreate the look. And while studs can make a statement, these are also just neutral enough that you can get away with a more subdued style as well. At $43, these are a total steal!

Struter Embroidered Platform Fur Classic Slip-On

Uggs duuuupe! These platform slip-ons are perfect for those days when you're out and about with your Starbucks in one hand, pushing the Target cart with the other. These also come in three other colors, and they're currently on sale for $42

Harness Buckle Ankle Boots

Some days require an edgier look that's even...dare I say, borderline grunge? It's our favorite way to dress when we're in a mellow mood, so if this sounds like you, slip on these cute ankle boots. The round, closed toe and cushioned footbed make them way more comfortable than they look.

Women's Elsa Mary Jane Ballet Flats

Metallics are perfect for the holiday season — and throughout the rest of winter, for that matter. These are great for the days you have to double up on a day at the office and make it to the holiday party by 7. Plus, at just $30, what more could you ask for?!

Ball Heel Stretch Ankle Boots

Keep it stylish with these glam boots! They heel height is only 2.25 inches, so the soles of your feet won't be under a ton of pressure as you strut through town. You get all the fun of a unique look without all the typical struggle of a unique shoe.

Slip On Mule Flats With Memory Foam Insole

These flats are so gaudy, but we're mesmerized by them. They take studs to the next level — and yes, I'm thinking about Emily in Parisagain. The round closed upper won't crush your precious toes, while the backless feature will make you happy as you pad around Target looking for new things to buy.

Women's Pippa Chunky Heel Ankle Boots

Love the first pair I shared, but wanna commit to the all-metallic vibe? These booties are here for you. At only $40, you'll shine bright like Eve from Life-Size. And with that block heel, you'll definitely be able to shine far while you're at it.

Women's Sage Slide Slippers

You obviously need plenty of shoes to strut your stuff around the town, but you also deserve a little something chic for the house! These stylish slippers are only $15, so you can comfortably make your way from the couch to the tea kettle — and look cute while you do it!

Ivette Tru Comfort Foam Pull On Boots

Normally we'd save a pair of boots like this for apple mazes and pumpkin patches, but there's no rule against wearing them during winter. They're a universal must-have in our book because of how sturdy they are, not to mention their gorgeous brown color!

Junie Tall Boots

We know you'll still be wearing sweater dresses during winter because we will too! They're not complete without a pair of tall boots though. You'll love how versatile these suede pair are and may want to wear them with all of your winter OOTDS.

Fur Mule Loafers

Gucci stole our hearts with their 2015 Re-Edition Women's Princetown mules, but the price tag reminded us of the budgets we've been living on. We're willing to bet you're not interested in spending over $1000 for mules, but now you don't have to! These stylish loafers are only $35 at Target, but hurry because they're selling out!

Tecovas The Beth Boot

These Tecovas boots are the real deal. I've been reaching for them more and more, and honestly, I prefer to wear them over my sneakers or Doc Martens boots. They're super easy to slip into (goodbye, laces!), and look great with just about everything. They're the perfect middle-of-the-road option since they're not too tall or too short, like booties would be. I've worn them with jeans, denim shorts, mini skirts, and maxi dresses – and they don't disappoint no matter the look! The leather took no time at all to break in, and I can tell that these cowboy boots will stand up to years and years of wear since they're crafted so carefully.

Ariat Heritage R Toe Tall Stretchfit Western Boot

Ariat is a staple brand when it comes to cowboy boots, and I cannot get my mind off these stunning tall boots. The height is ideal for wearing with shorter skirts and shorts, though you could rock 'em just as easily under jeans. They'll still deliver that classic Western flair you may be looking for with the pointed embroidered toe. They're even fitted with a removable cushioned sole so you can go all day without feeling restricted or pinched in any way!

Jeffrey Campbell Dagget Western Boots

To channel that true Southern glamor through cowboy boots, you need to have a pop of color. These deep green boots flaunt an eye-catching turquoise design that'll work surprisingly well with any ensemble. If this colorway isn't doing it for you, they're shoppable in 9 other colors via Free People.

Free People Borderline Western Boot

These cowboy boots supply a more subtle hint of color. I can't get enough of this deep red color this season, but the blue accents make these boots all the more unique! I also think the lower height makes these a nice, accessible pair to ease into the cowboy boot trend if you're not yet sure about going all-out.

Bullboxer Dani Cowboy Boot

Hello, studs! These boots tastefully leverage the more moto-style hardware throughout the ankle, so they'll be a seamless match with silver jewelry and other accessories you plan on wearing this fall.

Wild Fable Kenzi Tall Western Dress Boots

These cowboy boots are only $45 at Target, so they're a great option to shop if you can't commit to higher-end styles at the moment. The only pitfall is they're not made of real leather, but dang, do they still look good!

Ariat Jukebox Western Boot

The more matte, suede material on these cowboy boots makes them feel less flashy, which can wear well with just about any 'fit. I truly adore the chain-stitched design on both sides of these boots, as they add a vintage vibe. You'll definitely want to show them off with a skirt!

Tecovas The Jamie Boot

If these boots are anything like The Beth boots from Tecovas, they're uber-comfortable and versatile across endless outfit options. The red hue is the perfect addition to any neutral look, adding a nice pop of color that'll really get people lookin' your way. They feel truly timeless, thanks to the pointed toe box and feisty Western stitching.

Loeffler Randall Wilder Western Boot

I think I need these in my boot lineup ASAP! The little tulips are just adorable, fusing a feminine look with rugged Western vibes. Of course, black matches with any outfit, so throw on a denim skirt and basic black top, and you're ready to go!

Frye Billy Western Boot

Beyoncé would absolutely approve of these Renaissance-coded cowboy boots. Though the silhouette is fairly basic, the silver metallic colorway is anything but.

A post shared by Barbara Palvin (@realbarbarapalvin)

For Halloween Dylan Sprouse and Barbara Palvin stunned as the Phantom and Christine from Phantom of the Opera. Dylan wore a mask and a black cape, while Barbara wore a beautiful white dress. While the costume is obviously a nod to the musical, it also totally reminds us of their day as bride and groom.

"In Sleep He Sang to Me," Barbara said in a post, quoting the musical's titular number. "@dylansprouse my forever Phantom."

Who did Dylan Sprouse marry?

On the couple's wedding day (July 15, 2023), Barbara wore a Vivienne Westwood wedding gown to celebrate her Hungarian nuptials, bringing together their nearest and dearest for an intimate(-ish) celebration. Barbara and Dylan tied the knot on her parent's property, which conveniently doubles as an event venue, with plans to host an larger wedding in California in the fall.

"This past weekend was supposed to be an intimate event, but we ended up having 115 guests in the end because there are a lot of people we care about, and we wanted them all to be there," Barbara told Vogue.

When did Dylan Sprouse and Barbara Palvin get engaged?

After months of speculation surrounding the couple's engagement, Dylan and Barbara confirmed their engagement in conversation with Sprouse's twin brother, actor Cole Sprouse, for V Magazine in June, sharing that they got engaged last September.

"We didn't necessarily feel the need to be fully transparent with the public about that aspect of our engagement," Dylan said. "What we wanted to do with Stephen [Gan, V editor-in-chief] and the V team is make something that was kind of tongue-in-cheek about the nature of private versus public. We're playing with the idea of perception."

Barbara noted that the lovebirds wanted to announce the news "on our time," adding, "When some people leaked the information that we got engaged, our PR team was like, 'Hey, so you guys should do maybe a post about it or talk to this magazine or talk to that magazine…' That really annoyed me because I knew we were building this story up. So, I'm very happy that we ended up doing it our way."

When did Barbara Palvin and Dylan Sprouse start dating?

According to People, the couple met back in 2017 after a party when the Suite Life On Deck star slid into the model’s DMs (and as they say, the rest is history). The duo made their relationship Instagram official back in 2018 with Barbara’s sweet birthday tribute for Dylan’s 26th birthday.

Let’s be real here for a second though, we all knew they were endgame the minute Dylan went above and beyond to support Barbara at the Victoria Secret Fashion Show that same year (remember this viral video?). Three days after the fashion show, the Hungarian model told Vogue Australia that she hadn’t had a boyfriend in six years, but had now found “the perfect guy” in Dylan (we aren’t crying, you are).

How old are Barbara Palvin and Dylan Sprouse?

Barbara Palvin was born on October 8, 1993, making her 31 years old. Dylan Sprouse was born on August 4, 1992, meaning he's 32 years old. So there's only a one-year age gap between them!
