I have always loved the look of a thigh high boot! I think they are one of those wardrobe pieces that appeal to the boys too! So often I find myself wearing things that I know the male population will not find attractive, but because I know its 'in fashion'. In fact I think I could quickly divide my wardrobe into what I bought to impress him, and what was bought to impress the fashion pack!! I've never really been that concerned with what men would think of what I am wearing but it only takes a flip back through a family photo album to see.. well maybe.. they do have a point! Note to self; Orange printed jeans only look good on the model.
So boys this ones for you!!! That naughty line between fashion & stripper! Where to find the boots? I have always struggled to find the perfect fit! I have skinny little legs and always feel that unless the boot is skin tight, I loose all shape! Unfortunately most skin-tight styles only come with a heel and I had been hoping for a more practical everyday boot to help get my dresses through winter! I finally found what I was looking for thanks to the Tony Bianco Petra (available at www.tonybianco.com) in black leather! They are a great fit (although I would still like them to be a little tighter) and super comfortable for everyday wear!
Since their arrival - oh how I love online shopping! I have been trying to plan some outfits and shopping around them! They can be a hard look to pull off, and I believe you need to be super careful as to what you pair them with!
SO I turned to the thigh-high queen for inspiration -Kim Kardashian!
Although Kim's style is a lot more 'done' than mine, I still love the way she has pulled off her boots!! She is clearly a fan of the look, as she can be seen doting her thigh-highs nearly all year round!
In terms of what I have learnt so far? Play with shape! As you will loose the definition of skinny ankles, and your legs can run the risk of looking one shape the whole way up, I suggest shortening the length of your dress or skirt! I think its important to see a skin gap between where the boot finished and the hem starts! I have also found the best style is a dress (or skirt and top) that creates a waist! I think a dress with a full skirt, waist band & fitted bust looks best. Remember to keep it wintery! Anything too bare on top with make you look like the corner hooker!
Also this style looks fabulous with skinny leg jeans! Tuck your skin tight jeans into the boots, add a fur vest
..and WAH-LA! Effortless sexy, with winter comfort!
I would love to hear your comments on how you wear your thigh-highs?
If you love the look? Or think its just missing a pole!
With love, Jessie xx
