Thigh-Highs Are Taking Over the Street and the Runway
The stars of the street and runway are stepping out in leg-lengthening, long long boots. Perhaps expanding on the equestrian trend that’s appeared in recent seasons, over-the-knee boots are serving power and glam, lending a sense of feminine badassery to all sorts of looks.
On the street, we’re most often seeing the style paired with shorter skirts, dresses, and shorts, allowing for just a sassy border of exposed thigh.
The runways of Fall 2022 have offered some similar looks, but with more wide-ranging aspirations. Balmain ‘s long boots tied elegantly into its super-powered collection, continuing the references to modern power armor. Burberry remixed the style’s equestrian and aristocratic heritage. Hermès gave the perfect illusion. Rick Owens , of course, added platform soles and industrial goth sensibility.
