In case you haven’t noticed, thigh high and over the knee boots are everywhere this fall.   I don’t know about you, but as soon as I hear “thigh high boots,” I think stripper, hooker, and all together trashy leg wear.  However, this fall, thigh high boots take on a new, almost sophisticated look and feel.

From skin tight thigh highs by Gucci and Rodarte (above) that act like leggings when paired with a mini dress…

…to the monochromatic over the knee boots from Gucci and Chloe (above) paired with the same colored opaque tights or pants to create a long, lean, line…

…to simple black over the knee boots worn with bare legs and soft, lose, girly dresses to avoid looking too sexy like these by Verrier and Isabel Marant.  Over the knee and thigh high boots can actually be cute, fashionable, and alluring without being too blatantly sexy this fall.  The key is to know whether you have great legs or not.  Such attention grabbing leg wear are not for the calf and thigh challenged.  If you carry your weight in your legs, take a pass on this trend.  However, if you’ve got great gams, embrace the boot and show off those legs of yours.
