over-the-knee boots--yes or no

[Kalista]

Kit, the boots themselves sound really nice but alas it depends on how you wear them. I've always worn mine over drainpipe jeans but a couple of my friends have worn them with floaty, knee-length skirts and it did a lot for them. But if you want to flaunt your legs I suggest the former rather than the latter.

great with tights or over jeans but with bare legs, can unfortiantly look a bit hookerish. just my 2 cents

 

[SanDiego]

I say YAY

 

[LoveKylie]

I say NAY in most cases.

I have a pair and they are super... but ya... it REALLY depends on what u wear it wif... One time I went clubbing all night, came home, makeup run kinda runny and looked at myself in the mirror.. DAMN was I hookerish

 

[tortoisie]

it reminds me a lot of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. and in that movie she looks incredibly sexy wearing those. however IRL most people tend not to. but hey

 

[MulletProof]

big yay and i agree, it's very sexy...on the risk of looking skanky with the wrong clothes.

Mostly hooker-compatible! Especially looks ridiculous when worn by 45+ women. I am glad this trend didn't take off really.

i love over-the-knee boots...sometimes even higher. if you can pull it off, then go for it.

my favorites are these givenchys from fall 2003:

and balenciaga fall 2003:

Brians pics prove it. The (correct) over-the-knee boot rocks!

I adore that look. If you've got the legs to show off, and can put together an outfit that doesn't make the boots seem hookerish, then they're absolutly gorgeous.

o why not? i love it! it's so sexy!

I agree 100% tortoisie!!!

Overknees are both sexy and gr8 fun to wear!

The trick is to wear something delicate and ladylike with them (brightly coloured lace/chiffon will do) - so that you don't appear too tough and imposing!

But anywayz I'm just mad about big boots - especially OTT overknee boots!!

...and what's more - I own a gorgeous pair of patent overknees with spikes!!!

I think it can be tasteful, but you have to be careful. i agree with other members who say to wear them with a knee length skirt. That way when you sit down, people will notice they go up further. that gives a sexy, but not sl*tty look. I'd say just don't wear them with a mini
