Vintage Item of the Day; Vintage Thigh High Black Boots and How to Wear Them

There is something about a great pair of boots. A woman in boots says "hot and in control" like nothing else.

The right pair of boots will boost your confidence level and make you feel sexy, powerful and in control. Great boots with the right outfit are sexy without going too far over the edge, which means you can wear them to work (unless you work at a bank or some other very conservative field), out at night or shopping on a weekend.

Which brings us to today's Vintage Item of the Day, this pair of vintage black boots.

80's Thigh High Black Boots with a 4" Heel




In general with super high heels, you want to avoid micro mini skirts, unless you want to look like you belong on a corner of Hollywood Boulevard and I don't mean waiting to cross the street. That being said, boots cover more leg than a pair of pumps or sandals, so as long as you're not on your way to work thigh high boots actually work with shorter skirts, as long as they're not too short. Also, always remember the rule - if your skirt is short, don't show too much skin on top and vice versa.



Following are some great examples of how you can wear thigh high black boots and look great. As always, I've included links to the sites where I found the photos whenever possible.



I've started out with a few of the more conservative looks that could be work appropriate.

 I love this runway look incorporating thigh high boots! The somewhat loose white dress and the long black cardigan work beautifully with the boots, balancing out the strength of the boots without taking anything away.

Black on black is always a sophisticated look. The Tuxedo styling on the coat dress adds interest and style.












The look Ann Hathaway is wearing second from the left in the photo below is also work appropriate in many fields.

Both of these collections have some great ideas on what to wear with thigh high boots!

A cute casual look with jeans that pretty much anyone can reproduce! Easy, chic and versatile.





Thigh high boots are not just for celebrities, they work for anyone who wants to take their style to a whole new level and this is something you can try just by adding a pair of boots.



The pair of vintage thigh high boots pictured at the top are available at my store, along with loads of other vintage accessories, vintage jewelry, vintage clothing, vintage decor and more. I hope to see you there soon!
