Over the knee & thigh high boots have become a wardrobe staple this season. They’re comfortable and not only keep your feet warm but are also stylish & fashionable. Thigh high boots are the ones that extend above the knees all the way to the thighs and over the knee boots are the ones that go above the knee. Designers like Tibi, Emilio Pucci and Balmain sent models down the catwalks wearing over the knee & thigh high boots proving the thigh is the limit this season.
Thigh high boots & knee high boots have always been seen as being provocative (think Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman) but this autumn/winter, these boots are stepping out from the domination scene straight into high street, and we have already spotted a few fashionistas and celebrities rocking them.
Thigh high boots are tricky to pull off but when worn right they can be super chic and when worn wrong you may end up looking like a hooker. First things first, when wearing thigh high boots show less skin which you’ll be less likely to be mistaken for a street walker. And if you really want to wear them with miniskirts or hot pants we recommend you team them up with tights or stockings.
Over the knee & thigh high boots can be paired with skinny jeans, shorts, leggings, dresses, skirts and playsuit.
