Knee high boots.

I think we fashionistas can all agree that knee high boots have been the biggest trend of the season for 2015. I honestly wish that knee highs could be worn all year round (well they possibly could with our less than tropical summer weather) but they are just perfect for these Autumn months. Even though fashion tends to not be about practicality...here's a few practical reasons why knee high boots are great for AW/WI:

1. If you are wearing tights they still keep your legs nice and warm so you A) don't have to walk like a penguin and B) you can walk without your legs chattering together which I believe is not only difficult but highly unattractive for people like myself who have a slight case of the thunder thigh.
2. Runner up in the biggest Autumn/ Winter trend, knee high socks, can leave small areas between the knee and thigh freezing and also fairly revealing but with these fabulous boots, slightly more is covered up and my opinion is that it adds an element of class and sophistication.

Ok, ok enough with the 'motherly' reasons why knee highs are better than ankle boots. I know fashion in the Winter can make you a slightly larger version of an ice cube but still we cant help but love those cute and rather snuggly accessories. Now for my second list:

1. I need to add my favourite outfit that includes knee high boots. Ok so step one, knee high boots in any shade, black, grey, tan or any material, leather or suede paired with some knee high socks, either in a matching or contrasting colour and a sweet doll dress that falls halfway down the thigh, now that is eye-catching!
2. You know those guilty pleasures, you know the ones I'm on about, fluffy socks?! Even though I am not an admirer of the rolled over the adidas trainer look, I am a fan of wearing these gift from the Gods under knee high boots! (And no one will even know they are secretly £2.50 from Primark). Can we just picture this a minute, sitting in your office at your work desk, in fluffy socks that yeah, you could have worn to bed and not a single soul knowing, now that is a Winter recipe I do enjoy!
3. Another point about these beauties is the fact they can literally be worn to formal or informal occasions or even to somewhere bang in the middle! Even if you are wearing jeans and a tee, knee highs can make your comfies turn from a 5 to a solid 10! Ready for a good shopping spree and if you want to head out for cocktails after you wont even look undressed, killing two birds in one stone as they say...

Seeing as this is a fashion blog, I should mention that so many designers are using knee high boots in their runaway shows. I have seen multiple models in these gorgeous shoes and they have been used in every way possible, with a short mini dress or skirt to leather trousers or a pair of your favourite denims, these boots will compliment any item of clothing that you decide to put on! If I haven't convinced you enough already (even though that's not what I'm trying to do) then why not have a sneaky look at New Looks website as they are extremely prominent in the high street market for this style of shoes.
Happy searching!
