Style Cynics

Now these are the type of boots that demand attention from everyone! Why, because just how many thigh high boots are this damned sophisticated?

Sheathed in blue dark blue velour, these super sexy thigh highs hug the leg – all the way up! The clingy velour design gives your legs a slender and shapely look under skirts or barred for the world to see with shorts or a mini skirt.

The soft, yet dark blue velour boot is complimented by delicate tan flower embroidery that travels up along the leg of the entire boot, and hides under the western-style leather collar boot topper – that wraps itself around the top and is secured in place by leather lacing with tassels. The dark blue of the boot is also complimented by contrasting silver stud detailing around the wedge heel and up the back of the heel as well.

The sturdy platform wedge makes these haute couture boots wearable all day long – even though the heel will raise you up 5 ¼ inches. Just slip them on, preferably under a long flowing skirt or a mini (to show them off) and zip them all the way up (the zipper is located on the instep). The rounded toe of these boots takes away from the western feel that would otherwise look too costumey for my linking. Making them by far the most unique boot I’ve seen “around these here parts” in years.

Gianfranco Ferre’s thigh high boots sell for a whopping $1,285 through Zappos.com.
