Knee High Boots are Great for Autumn • 08.10.09
You are quite likely to associate knee-high boots with hookers and Julia Roberts in the film Pretty Woman but this autumn, knee-high boots are an oh-so-stylish must have item. What people don’t realise it that knee-high boots don’t HAVE to look slutty. They will of course look tacky if you wear them with a mini skirt and have a vast amount of cleavage on display but they can look quite classy if you are smart about what you wear them with.
Knee high boots can be stylish
Try wearing them to work with a mid-length pencil skirt. Not only will they keep your legs warm on cold winter days, you don’t have to shave your legs! 
They can also be worn with skinny or straight leg jeans for a more casual look. The great thing is that they can be dressed up and dressed down depending on the situation. In a recession, the more wear you can get out of your shoes, the better!
I speak to many dieters over my days and a common complaint about knee high boots is that they don’t fit around a person’s calf muscles. I am very lucky as no matter how large I have been, my calves are relatively skinny. My twin sister has trouble finding boots as her calves are a different shape to mine as she’s built up muscle at the gym. Thus, walking into a shoe shop is a NIGHTMARE if she wants boots. Never fear, I have discovered a way for ladies with larger calves to wear fashionable boots. Yay!
Duo Boots offer their boots in 21 (yes, twenty one) calf sizes. They have ditched the traditional ‘one size fits all feet’ approach and embraced the concept of High Street price couture. The boots aren’t cheap-cheap (between £120-£250) but the boots are effectively made to your measurements which you will never get in a traditional high street shop and certainly not normally for this price range. The female shopping theory is, the more you wear an item, the better value it is!
Just because you’re in the process of losing weight it doesn’t mean a love of fashion should go out the window! Even Coleen Rooney is apparently a fan! Remember, even slim women can have chunky calves!!
