Thigh High Women's Boots Are the Hottest Trend Right Now

If you look at the latest runways of Paris, London, New York and Milan you'll undoubtedly be surprised by the number of boots for women on the runways. Not just boots, over the knee boots but even higher, much higher - thigh high boots.

That seems to be the trend in high fashion these days. You could see them paired with everything; tailor suits, mini dresses, shorts, leggings. They are designed to be worn in the morning, noon and for a night out.

Most of the thigh high boots have a high heel and a hugging shape that goes on forever, making the legs look slim and flawless, while the only skin showing is the little gap between the end of the boot and the start of the hem. Thus, very teasingly, the only leg that is showing is the high thigh part... Very sexy proposition, wouldn't you think?

These boots are all about sex appeal and a bit of history. The high boots in which The Three Musketeers dueled so fiercely and manly has become the symbol of femininity in the trendiest boots that are now being worn by women.

Over the knee boots are much higher this year with a variety of leathers from the ultra soft suede to the "new materials" darkly futuristic wound and bound look. Olive greens, greys or cream natural tones, red, purples and blues. They are seen in one color leather or in animal print. Made to look like one piece of stretched leather or a patchwork of different pieces of the same color.

Thigh high boots in glove-soft suede is the most interesting new edition, where the suede slips down in a sock-like manner. Other and contrasting kind of thigh high boots seen on the runways are fastened with a leather garter to keep them up at all time.

Some go up with tight fit. Others thigh high women's boots widen as they progress. Some fold over in a cuff at the thigh, and some are lined with fur for a very cozy look and tempting feel in a cold winter day.

They come, almost all of them, in high heels and a platform that adds at least an inch and a half to the height. Those platforms are hidden inside the boot and make one long line of color and texture from the toe to the thigh.

The futurist look is well represented in the over the knee boots. Some are made from man-made materials and some are inspired by old times and have a modern twist on laces from top to toe in metallic colors.

But the most amazing fact about those over the knee boots are the colors. Gone are the blacks and browns. The shades of colors range from powder blue to Lilly blue, from white to cream to tan and bright yellow. Reds, violets and greens - all made to complement the outfit and make the wearer look fashionable, well dressed and... taller.
