Trends in Women’s Leather Boots: Over the Knee and Thigh High Boots
Boots have slowly been creeping up higher and higher on the leg over the past couple of years. Last fall they started going over the knee and now they’re creeping up higher and higher on the thigh. It all started on the runways a while back, but the trend has also reached the mainstream now. Head out to a trendy part of town and you’re sure to see someone wearing over the knee and probably thigh high boots. Who knew Julia Robert’s character in Pretty Woman was actually fashion forward! They’ve of course evolved into something that probably wouldn’t interest the working girl, but they’re all the buzz with the fashionistas lately.
Some styles are made of sleek simple suede, while others almost look costume like with all of their straps, buckles and flaring at the top. It’s best to keep it simple and stick to genuine leather or suede. When choosing a leather pair, make sure they’re made of a high quality matt black or brown. If you must choose a color, stick to greys, olive greens or creams. For suede I would say the same color choices will work, with the addition of maroon. Just as with clothing, muted colors are trending everywhere on the runways, but the standout styles are coming from the accessories and shoes.
If you’re going for a classic, dressy, modern look with your thigh high boot, go for a pair that is slim with a rounded toe. If you’re more of the rocker edgy type, you might not mind standing out more in a pair with a little sheen or flare to the cut. You can really go any direction you’d like to with this style. They already stand out due to the fact that half of your leg is covered with a shoe, but if you desire standing out even more, there’s certainly a way. Some designers have come out with ones that lace all the way up or even ones with a garter attached at the top. The certainly aren’t for everyday where, but if you looking to get noticed at a certain event or a special night out, this may be your boot of choice.
Even though the boots are getting higher and some are even looking like leggings, they’re not going to replace wearing pants. You should pair your ultra tall boots with black tights, a short skirt and maybe something with a little texture and bulk to it since your boots are so fitted and sleek.
