Leather and Lace is an Understatement for Women Who Wear Thigh High Boots 

Footwear On the Verge of Edgy

Britney’s all “decked in lace and leather,” and the leather is definitely a hit (hit her one more time!). Leather thigh high boots are the trend this year, giving off a dash of daring along with classic sophistication.

Taller boots are usually considered more conservative, but thigh highs are definitely edgy. They can complement a woman’s outfit and lend her an air of sensuality, speaking out without being overly sexually provocative. There’s a line between being loud and being vulgar.

Choosing Boot Styles

It’s important that you choose genuine leather thigh high boots rather than the cheaper footwear made of patent leather, which has too shiny of a gloss and comes off as looking cheap. In contrast, real leather looks and is anything but. You can choose from tones like the classic black or brown, or venture into olive green and gray.

Your choices will be determined based on what kind of style you’re going for. Olive green evokes a sophisticated, classic look. On the other hand, dark black is perfect for rocker sensibility. Make sure to wear them extra tight! If you want to push the boundaries a bit further, you can experiment with a more futuristic look. Wound and bound leather drawn from dominatrix and cyberpunk influences makes a bold statement, perhaps a commentary on the sad but true future direction of our society.

Wrap Your Legs in Suede High Heels

Leather thigh high boots aren’t the only choices out there. Suede is also a great choice of fabric for thigh high, and it has a wider palette of colors to choose from including the usual suspects like black and brown as well as more vibrant colors like plum and maroon.

Fitted suede thigh highs are great for a classy look, and if you want to turn some heads (in a good way), then you can experiment with different hues or additional details like laces. But a note about thigh high boots—they’re meant to complement your outfit, not to comprise it. If you’re going to wear the boots, you still need to wear a skirt, shorts, pants, or anything that’d you normally wear for a bottom. Boots should not replace the essentials by any means.

Celebrities who are rocking the leather thigh high boots these days are Rihanna, Madonna, Victoria Beckham, Ashanti, Halle Berry, Lindsay Lohan, Shakira, Ciara, and Jennifer Hudson.

The thigh high trend is definitely catching on and making a kick in the celebrity fashion world, and it’s already begun to spread among the public as well. So, if you are feeling really bold, put on your little black miniskirt, a sexy top and your thigh high leather or suede boots and see if you have the courage to wear them out.
