The Appearance of Sexy Knee High Boots

Monday, November 1st, 2010

One of the best things about the fall season is that you get to wear all your sexy boots from ankle boots to knee high and above the knee. Fabulous boots look stylish, keep you warm, and cover up any lower leg flaws. The only challenge is finding the perfect pair that flatter your legs.

For a romantic feminine look, wear them with a longer skirt and for a sexy sophisticated look, wear them with short skirts. Black knee high boots with a heel, can go from the office to an evening out. Flat knee high boots look great with leggings and will help balance your figure if your fullness in on top or in the midriff. Flats also look fabulous with casual or preppy skirts and jeans. If you are tucking them into your jeans, be sure they are skinny jeans to avoid the “ballooning” effect.
If your skirt is shorter, wear thicker pantyhose with Lycra, but never ultra sheer.

Knee high boots help make wider calves look slimmer. Stretch boots look and fit well once you master the “scrunching down the shaft” process of getting them on, like you would a stocking. Chunky heels also make the calf appear slimmer.

Women with skinny ankles need a boot with more structure or bulk like slouch boots. Opt for a thinner heel. A chunky heel makes the ankle even thinner looking. Keep looking till you find a pair that is not too big for your calf.

Stylish, comfortable boots are flattering as well as practical.

Wear Stylish Boots in a Practical Way

Wearing stylish boots will not only keep you warm but look very chic. Black knee high boots with any size heel can be worn to the office and look dressy enough for a dinner date in the evening. They can make a fuller calf look slimmer and cover any flaws. They look sexy yet sophisticated with a shorter or knee length skirt and create a romantic and feminine feel with a longer skirt.
A knee high flat boot will work well with casual clothing or preppy patterned skirts. If you tuck your jeans into your boots, be sure they are skinny jeans so you don’t create a ballooning effect.
For a thinner calf and ankle, look for a boot with bulk like a slouch or western boot. A slender heel is more flattering than a heavier heel which will tend to make you legs look even thinner.

Women with a larger calf and ankle should opt for a stretch boot. Scrunching down the shaft, then pulling it up like a stocking, will make it easier to get them on. Chunkier heels will make the a fuller calf appear slimmer. Look for styles with texture in basic colors and in fashion colors to make a statement. Pointy ankle boots look dressy with a pant and should be worn with thicker hose or tights with a skirt. A boot with rounded or square toe is more casual. Be sure the pant is long enough to cover the ankle and wear a dark sock or one with a pattern.
