Thigh high boots are less prostitute and more Paris chic this Autumn/Winter. I coveted a pair in Zara last year but didn’t get round to buying some and so I have made them my priority this winter. As seen on Olivia Palermo and Miranda Kerr, the thigh high is a staple piece of every girl’s AW14 wardrobe. Teamed with a short dress, oversized sweatshirt or to dress up a day time look, they are a versatile and essential purchase this winter.
You can pick yourself up a pair in lots of high street shops including Dune, River Island and Russell & Bromley, but at £20 this Primark (yes, PRIMARK) are an absolute steal for this year’s winter favourites. The heel is quite high considering there is no platform but they are still really comfortable to walk in, a benefit for anyone who needs an extra few inches. The black suede material is soft and may draw less attention to any ‘Pretty Woman’ similarities than if the material was leather… I will let you make your own conclusions if that’s a good or a bad thing. The boots come over the knee and sit comfortably around the thigh without being too tight. I’ve dressed them down with leather leggings and a black jumper for shopping but will definitely be dressing them up at some point soon, perfect for day time shopping or food and drinks at night. At £20 and from Primark (of all places), these particular boots probably aren’t going to last you until next year and I can’t imagine they will be very durable. However, by next winter there will probably be another seasonal essential that I have my eye on and the thigh high will be a distant but wonderful memory. You can check out how I wore mine here
