Fashion rules: Combat boots

I have always been a fan of combat boots for the comfort and edge they bring to any outfit. They are cute but the usual mid shin length makes them a little bit tricky to pair with pants and skirts of different lengths. So here are my rules of combat boots -

DO's -

Pair with skiny jeans or any trousers that can be folded to hit right above where the boot starts

Pair with shorts and fun tops for that boho music festival look

Pair with maxi or midi dressed to add edge to your feminine look

Pait with short dressed that end well above the knee

DON'Ts -

The only don't I have is to not pair them with any dress or skirt or trouser that hits the knee because then you will be segmenting your leg at two different points and confusing the visual elongation of your legs.
