Over-The-Knee Boots. To Wear Or Not To Wear?
September 28, 2009 · Posted in allison, fashion by allison
Your answer really doesn’t matter with me. I just ordered mine from Piperlime yesterday… I guess I should have posted this first. But, still I’m curious what your thoughts are on this new trend: a welcome change or a little too “Pretty Woman”ish for you? Here are some pics of my favorites from www.Piperlime.com. (The last pair are the ones that I ordered.)
They’ve been seen all over the runway and are splattered in every fashion mag, but how do you think they will work for all of us “normal” people?
It feels a little “pirate-y” to me! RT@amiatEAD New on EAD Living: Over-The-Knee Boots. To Wear Or Not To Wear? http://bit.ly/o5e67
If you feel good in them and can rock the look then I say go for it!

I’ve been contemplating a pair myself! I think they’re great. Ones with heels are a bit too much for me, but I like the ones you picked!
I just ordered about 10 pairs from piperlime and zappos and ended up returning nearly all of them. I tried that pair that you ordered in both the brown and black and it just wasn’t working for me when I tried them on. I was kind of disapointed. I love boots and I was delighted when I saw over the knee is e a fashion trend because I’ve always wanted to try them but it looked inappropriate on me with a skirt or dress (it looked rather hookerish) and with jeans it just didn’t look right, it definitely shortened the legs a lot and I have long legs! …the only thing I liked them with was leggings but I felt like that was a bit limiting. I also tried the lucky brand Gwen pair in both the black and brown and I really wanted to keep the brown ones but just felt I couldn’t justify the price with how limited I felt my wardrobe options were. http://piperlime.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=50253&vid=1&pid=707738&scid=707738012
I’d love to hear how you fair with the over-the-knee look and what you pair them with!
I saw 3 women wearing these brown/flat heel boots yesterday at my event! RT@amiatEAD: Over-The-Knee Boots. http://bit.ly/o5e67
I love the look, but the look does not love my thighs. :)

I LURVE them! Rock em!!
As a short woman, I’d love to wear them, but I think they’re not in the cards for me. I don’t need my already short legs to appear shorter. If you can find a pair that fit you, go for it.

Wow! There is a love/hate thing with these boots! Mine come in tomorrow, so I’m really curious to see what happens. I am just thinking some skinny jeans, a cozy sweater and these boots….of course, I am only 5′5″ so this could be a disaster. Will post some pics of what happens!
ever since i heard that this trend is so IN for this fall/winter i knew i HAD to have some. i bought my first pair of black flat faux suede ones yesterday (very affordable) and i just LOVE them. i have heard so many people say that it doesn’t look good on women with thicker legs/frames but i’m a thicker built girl and i think these look great on me :) especially worn the california way with sum cut off jean shorts and an over sized button up or tunic. i feel really lucky that the trend hasn’t soaked in here yet (i’ve only seen one girl wearing otk boots so far) i intend to get the grey ones next!
