15 Hot Over-the-Knee Boots You Need Now!

FabSugar — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 05:50:22 -0700

My new favorite kind of boot is the over-the-knee. I look forward to chilly weather so that I can bust them out and spice my legs up with them. But here's the thing: the right pair can make you look chic, the wrong, not so. You'll know when looking at it which category it falls in. I already own a black leather flat one, but would love to add a luxurious suede heeled style to my collection. During my hunt, I came across dozens of unique boots that I would make mine, wallet permitting. And these Stella McCartney Thigh-High Faux Leather Boots ($1,385), which the designer herself owns, are the over-the-knee Holy Grail. More than boots, they're like buying a pair of hot leather legs!

Celeb Style: Becki Newton

I'm sorry, but Becki is a fox. I sure wouldn't mind seeing her around more often. Especially if she's taking the plunge and wearing Fall's hottest boot: the over the knee. And she wears them exactly right. Stretchy black leggings, a sharp blazer by The Row, and a taupe tank, are subtle and sharp. A red bag reminds she's bold, not blah. Mixed-metal chain bracelets add the perfect amount of sparkle. Foxy lady.

Newlywed Jenna Dewan left her hot hubby behind for the night and partied away for Nylon's TV issue launch. While other guests did sexy, Jenna opted for sweet in a moody floral dress. But it's her maroon over-the-knee boots that really steal the spotlight. They add sass and make her look more night-appropriate. Yep, it's officially time to dust off those over-the-knee boots.

Trend Alert: Over-the-Knee Boots

FabSugar — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 04:50:22 -0700

I've never been a huge fan of over-the-knee boots, but seeing Jenna Dewan in her maroon pair convinced me otherwise. See, I used to think thigh-highs were cheesy - cue Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman - but the key to getting this look right is styling it with not so '80s clothes. I suggest girlie floral frocks, like Jenna's, for an upscale Woodstock vibe, or paired with a lean wool mini, tights, and trench for a ultra-modern Fall look.

Look for Less: Fendi Over the Knee Boots

FabSugarUK — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:29 -0700

Over the weekend both Daisy Lowe and Alice Dellal wore Fendi over-the-knee boots to a party in Paris and yesterday I asked you who wore them better. Whilst you were mainly left divided it confirmed the footwear's status as the boot of the season despite the slightly-hefty £730 price tag.

If you are lusting after the boots but struggling to justify the cost then I have found the answer! To see the look for less read more.

Whilst perusing the Miss Selfridge website yesterday I came across this rather lovely pair of suede over the knee boots (£85).

Whilst not being exactly like the Fendi version, the stitching detail and shape is very similar and the heel height is sensible enough to avoid looking OTT. Team with skinny jeans and a paisley print top for a dressed-down style or if you're feeling brave opt for a high waisted mini à la Alice Dellal.

What do you think of the boots?

Who Wore it Better? Fendi Over the Knee Boots

FabSugarUK — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 23:00:10 -0700

How embarrassing it must be to turn up to a Fendi party pleased as punch that you have the new season over-the-knee boots only to discover that you weren't the only one to land your hands on a pair. That happened this weekend as Alice Dellal and Daisy Lowe attended the Fendi O party as part of Paris Fashion Week.

Fortunately, the London party girls had very different takes on how to wear the Fendi over-the-knee boots (£730) showing off their individual style. Daisy showed off her pins in a '60s style Fendi swing dress whilst Alice went for an edgy ensemble with a super-short mini and denim waistcoat. In your opinion, who wore the boots better?

Who Wore It Better? Over the Knee Boots

FabSugarUK — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 06:00:54 -0800

Stella McCartney is clearly a big fan of Christmas as she switched on the lights at her Bruton Street store last night with a little help from celebrity friends (and family). Peter Kay performed alongside her father who clearly has a lot of love for the comedian whilst Kate Moss, Jamie Hince, Laura Bailey and Lulu watched on. Kate and Stella showed their friendship dedication by wearing the same style boots but whilst Kate opted for suede, Stella went for (presumably) faux leather. Kate jazzed hers up with a metallic top as Stella gave us a lesson in keeping warm but staying chic. Who do you think wore the over the knee boots better?

These Boots Are Made For Walking: Over-the-Knee Boots

FabSugar — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 14:00:22 -0700

There's no denying the power of boots. They're funky, functional, and boast a plentiful harvest.

Let me draw your attention to the subject at hand: these Kristen Lee Montague Boots ($346) go over the knee in an oh so slick manner. The supple suede exudes decadence while the wide, low heel makes for a functional staple. These thigh-grazing boots are made for the strong so stomp loud, stomp proud. Tip: stray away from the tacky and stick to dark, muted colors for a modern appeal.

Love From Australia Suede Over-the-Knee Boot: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 04:00:22 -0800

UGG boots are bulky enough with all that thick shearling, but when you add ribbons and more height, it's just too much. I can't see myself, or anyone else for that matter, pulling off Love From Australia's Vixen Suede Over-the-Knee Boot ($400). In Antarctica they might come in handy, but I'd choose cold over tacky any day. Are you with me?

FabSugar — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 09:00:22 -0800

Somebody please tell me that the only women who would come near these Victoria's Secret Over-the-Knee Stretch Boots ($129) are Vegas showgirls. In real life, these flashy boots would stop traffic and perhaps cause some accidents, and I don't mean in a flattering way. I'll pass. You?
