Kim Kardashian is one of the few celebs that knows how to make the over the knee boot look sassy and sophisticated. Unfortunately, she failed to give her BFF Ciara some advice before she stepped out in these boots during New York Fashion week.

Although we're tempted to report Ci Ci's faux pas to the fashion police, we'll settle with giving her a warning. To avoid making the same mistake, here are a few tips to help you pull of this sexy look.

Choose a boot that fits your leg properly, you don't want them to be too loose or too tight. For the best fit we recommend, Martinez Valero 'Agres' over the knee stretch boots ($174.95, Nordstrom.com), or Sam Edelman's vesey suede over the knee boots ($250.00, shopbop.com). You can pair this look with sophisticated pieces like a trendy sweater dress from L.A.M.B. ($195.00, Shopbop.com).

When wearing this trend with a short skirt, a flat heel works best. Try Sam Edelman James' suede over the knee boots ($225.00, Shopbop.com).

Or Belle by Sigerson Morrison stretch suede over the knee flat boots ($595.00, Saks.com). If you want to be comfortable, then chic jeans are definitely the way to go. Try layering your look, with a cute pair of skinny jeans from OTR ($86.10, Shopbop.com), and a cute jacket by BCBG Max Azria ($598.00, Nordstrom.com) to complete the look.

If you're in search of another comfy-chic option, try out a pair of leggings from Elie Tahari Marena leggings ($33.90, Nordstrom.com). You can top the look off with a faux-fur vest like one from Aqua ($148.00, Bloomingdales.com).

We know it isn't easy to walk the line between sassy and trashy in over the knee boots, so when in doubt, ask somebody.
