How You Should Style Thong Boots Into The Warmer Months

Looking for a controversial fashion item to spice up your closet? Look no further than the thong boot. Ever since Miu Miu debuted their thong boot designs at Paris Fashion Week in October 2022, people have been debating whether or not this wacky flip-flop/boot combo should even be a thing. Some people feel like it's the worst of both worlds — too hot to be worn in the summer, and too cold for the winter. Which might be fair . . . but what if it's the best of both worlds?

Call us weird, but we support this daring fashion choice. It's got tons of potential in our book. Beloved by supermodels and celebs alike and heralded as the ultimate transitional shoe, we think we can convince you to try these out for the warmer months. Don't listen to the naysayers: there are plenty of ways you can style thong boots, and we're going to explore a lot of options. Who knows? They might become your new favorite thing.

These beige boots work in tandem with the white outfit, creating a classy, subdued look. If you're drawn to these boots' inherent wackiness, but are afraid to totally take the plunge, a subtle outfit like this could be your thing. The boots' style and these colors balance each other out quite nicely — not every summer look has to be super bright and in-your-face. It's totally possible to style a solid outfit that'll keep you stylish and cool in the warm weather without those aspects.

If you're someone who borrows fashion inspo from "The Matrix," we've got you covered. This sleek black look, complete with sunglasses, will help you channel your inner Trinity. The long black coat will protect you from any breezes, while the little top and mini skirt will help you have fun in the sun. The thong boots are the cherry on top of this outfit, combining that cool, secret agent vibe with a more practical sandal to keep you from sweating.

The next time you find yourself reaching for a bold shoe to elevate your look, consider sliding these on. An outfit like this has got it all: sheer garments, fun accessories, and yellow, ankle-length thong boots that pop. An outfit like this practically screams summertime. Colors and textures like these should be your next beach party go-to. You're bound to turn heads, especially with shoes like these. You can also wear these shoes with other shades throughout the summer.

There are lots of clothes you can pair white thong boots with. A midi skirt like this is the versatile staple your spring wardrobe needs, and a slit will show off the whole boot. Since you're styling these boots for the warmer months, you can forego the long jacket, especially if it's of a heavier material. A bralette can work as a top and can match either the boots or the skirt (though a white bralette will make the different-colored skirt stand out more).

Sure, thong boots are a daring fashion choice, but you can still make them look chic. A short, collared dress like this has a preppy flair, with the added benefit of keeping you cool. Add an oversized brown jacket like this one if it's not too hot out. You'll want to keep the accessories minimal; a little black purse will do the trick. With a sleek outfit like this one, the sidewalks will become your own personal runway. 

A shimmery dress like this one is bound to stand out, just like these equally flashy boots. When it comes to looks like these, you'll want to let the dress take center stage. A pair of black thong boots will tie the outfit together without stealing the spotlight. The slanted style of the dress also manages to show off the whole boot, which is always a plus. As for accessories, keep them plain and black to match the shoes. 

You don't need to be Kylie Jenner to pull this look off. With the right dress, you can show off your thong boots with pride. These bright blue boots in particular are great for ushering in the summertime. The white dress is super stylish and will flatter your figure while ensuring that the boots aren't outshined. The off-the-shoulder style and semi-sheer fabric will make sure you don't get overheated. You can match your sunglasses to the rest of the outfit, too — wear sunglasses with white or matching blue frames. 

Sick and tired of dressing down? This outfit can be your antidote. The fluffy texture of this set looks like nothing else, and, paired with your favorite ankle-length thong boots, can fix all your boring-clothes-woes. However, balance is always key. Notice how the model styles this set with a plain white crop top. Anything with a bold pattern or neon color would throw off the outfit. The skirt and jacket are meant to draw all the attention — let them. You can switch out the black thong boots and green purse for white to match the top.

Here's a pro-tip on putting together cohesive outfits: wear varying shades of the same color. Here, we have pieces in dark brown, tan, and beige. If you're ever unsure on how to style a particularly attention-grabbing shoe or garment, this trick will make sure that everything goes off without a hitch. Since you're wearing this outfit in the warmer months and these boots are long, styling them with a short skirt will make sure your legs have the necessary space to breathe. 

Skirts are, of course, a summertime staple, keeping you feeling cool and cute in the hot weather. Show off your pedicure and stand out at your next summer party with these black thong boots. You gotta admit: an outfit like this is a lot less boring than your run-of-the-mill tee shirt and jeans. Plus, the black, acid-washed denim of this skirt pairs well with the solid black boots. You might want to ditch the jacket, though (unless there's a chill in the air).
