Sexy boots
Let’s face it, long and high boots are incredibly hot and never seem to go out of fashion. For extra sex appeal, try the sexy stretchy over-the-knee stretch wide fit thigh high boots from Tilly London, available now at Amazon. This comes with a 5.5 inch stiletto heel so make sure you know how to walk in them not wobble! Getting the hang of wearing long and lengthy boots is easy once you know how. You can go for either a high heel for added glamour or a flat, riding boot style for a more casual, comfortable look. The younger you are, the more you can get away with wearing thigh high boots with short dresses. Be careful not to fall into the ‘Pretty Woman’ category, you are not Julia Roberts, so avoid wearing thigh high boots with a tight, butt hugging micro mini skirt, not everyone has the confidence or figure to successfully pull off a look like that!
History of Boots in Fashion
Women have been wearing boots for many generations. Over time, the woman’s boot found its way back to popularity and during the sixties and seventies, the popular hippie boots as well as patent go-go boots came into fashion. Wedge, flat and high stiletto heels were all fashionable and post 1965, women paired them with short dresses as well as the Mary Quant mini skirt. By the mid seventies, heels went back down and chunk boots, granny boots, combat boots, biker boots and cowboy boots began to take front and centre in the fashion world. Ankle boots all the way up to thigh high hit the fashion stores and women once again, embraced change.
Bold Colours
The classic black boot is my favourite as it goes with just about everything in my wardrobe. You can also get over the knee boots in various colours this season. Make a bold statement with burgundy over-the knee boots for only €19.99 from Zara. These have a kitten heel so very practical, comfortable and glamorous for those who have a fear of heights!
So this Spring/Summer, put on your big girl panties and your sexiest boots and kick some ass!
