The genuine question is how women will make them their own. How much of our knees will our collective recession conscious ethos permit us to reveal or cover? It will be a measure of our confidence. Excitedly, leggings finally have a pairing, hemlines will drop a little and there is a purpose for shorter coats that add elegance to our pins. Will the terribly chic go for taller boots, flaring tops, sheer stockings and thin dresses with hemlines that stay near the body?
Obviously there should be some guidelines on how to select your new boots and what to wear them with. Remember that these boots will show a lot of physical material. For each centimeter higher you venture, the more subtle the style should be. Go for timeless when you select for colour, texture, bulk, ornamentation and length. Shiny is great for wellies and patent flat pumps by Roger Vivier, but please leave the Pretty Woman-esqe look in your DVD collection.
We are also blessed with fabulous military detailing in the Autumn collections. Epaulettes, insignias and brass button clothing will look right on trend with over the knee boots and purveyors of tights and stockings will continue to be reigning kingpins.
For a casual look and if you aren't ready to indulge(invest, because it will be an investment), short skirts look great with a colored sock rolled above the top of a fitted boot that comes mid-kneecap. However, after you've dipped your toe into the sole of empowerment and declare you are bold enough to pull a zip a third of your body length; embrace the over the knee boots so that other women will follow. The box will probably not fit in your closet, but we know you are resourceful.
