Strut to a new unstoppable trend this winter with over-the knee boots. They were the stars of the 2009 catwalks in Milan, New York, London and Paris and are the number one must have this season, especially if you want to make a fashion statement whilst keeping warm and cosy.

From catwalk to high street they’re everywhere, and in every colour and style imaginable. However if you find yourself shuddering at this trend as thoughts of Julia Roberts as Pretty Woman come to mind, fear not! Long gone are the days of over-polished promiscuous stilettoed 90s style boots.

A brand new breed is out there and it’s been transformed into a wardrobe staple for any fashion conscious individual. The result is sleek, stylish, ultra modern footwear that can and should be worn by anyone with their finger on the fashion pulse.

Over the knee boots are a great way to create a long, lean silhouette as they help to elongate the legs. Tamara Mellon of Jimmy Choo says that  “they make women feel strong, confident and sexy” and we couldn’t agree more.
