Nobody cares about practicality when it comes to style trends. I’ve seen girls walking around hot, sticky, humid Singapore in leather boots – or leather jackets. Seriously, people rather sweat and stink in their killer gear. I guess it makes sense for shopping malls to freeze our asses off so we can layer more for fashion’s sake. Now, I wanna see people sporting thigh-high boots in Singapore! Remember Julia Roberts strutting down in her hooker thigh-high boots in Pretty Woman? Yes, these boots are refined to fit the high-fashion society and now they are really made for walking.Think Anne Hathaway in The Devil Wears Prada when she transformed into those delicious Chanel boots. Envy!
As seen on Prada and Rodarte shows, the key is to have those boots so high up that they go over your knees. I received The Zoe Report in my email today about this trend and Rachel Zoe said, “When incorporating over-the-knee boots into an outfit, think of them as an alternative to tights or leggings. Throw them on with a mini dress or oversized sweater and shorts, and strut your stuff like Vivian would.” (Vivian, as in Julia Roberts in the film!). I absolutely dig some of the newly designed boots out there but am I getting one? Nay.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this Stella McCartney‘s!
