Boot Love!

Why we love them: Remember when a newly-chic Anne Hathaway strolled into Runway's offices wearing those thigh-high Chanel boots, and everyone's jaws dropped? That's the kind of reaction that over the knee boots typically elicit. They're sleek, sexy, and a little bit taboo — so don't be surprised if you drop a few jaws yourself.
How to wear them: There are ways to wear over-the-knee boots without channeling Pretty Woman; to downplay the sexiness a bit, stick to skinny jeans or leggings with a slouchy top. If you're dying to wear a dress, just make sure it's not too short or too fitted. Isabel Marant showed that super-tall boots can look totally boho-cool when worn with slouchy sweater dresses and skinny jeans.
