Love them or hate them, thigh-high footwear is having a fashion moment. Channeling an Eighties-meets-Pretty Woman vibe, over-the-knee boots are all over the high street stores as the first flush of fall fashion (the first drop) represents key pieces for the new season.
It’s time for a footwear overhaul as this sky-high footwear comes in so many heel heights and styles there is something for all tastes from sexy to sporty. From skinny-legged platformed and vertiginous heels to wide Puss-in Boots-style galoshes with heels that are chunky or flat. Revolutionary designs like Prada’s fishing waders and Stella McCartney’s punched faux napa leather (which actually look like tights), have proved the inspiration for high street styles. One such example is the UK based fashion chain, Topshop, which offers a showstopping pair of PVC bottom grazers, the first shipment of which has already sold out online.
