Hollywood Goes Crazy For Thigh-High Boots

Trends change so often that we can barely keep up. Last fall it was all about the fringe boots, but this fall we’ve been seeing a whole lotta thigh high boots.

Julia Roberts first made thigh high boots trendy back in 1990 with Pretty Woman. Fast-forward to 2009 and they’re back in style and kicking.

We’ve been seeing some of our favorite celebrities sporting some really cute thigh highs. Halle Berry recently visited The Jay Leno Show sporting some sexy boots and Hollywood’s best dressed, Kim Kardashian has a few pairs of her own.

Our favorite, and decently priced thigh-highs, are the Report Signature boots, that cost $497.

If you’re nervous about breaking the bank, though, our friends at Bebe have created a more affordable option with their Daniela Thigh High Boot for $159.

So ahead and get yourself a pair of thigh highs! Not only can you wear them out with a hot dress with the girls for a night on the town, your man will love them too!

My own general theory about Boots as Women’s fashion is that, Boots are likely to be worn during Progressive periods. Women choose to wear Boots as a symbol of Power. They are, after all, the footwear of choice for dominatrixes and superheroines. In the early part of the twentieth century, Boots went out of fashion more or less as soon as Prohibition started. The style didn’t come back into popularity until the very Progressive sixties. As a life-long Boot fetishist, I have also studied the history of the Thigh-boot as Women’s fashion. The first examples were found in the early sixties at the Paris fashion shows. These were derided as ‘sewer boots’ by some, but obviously made a huge impression on others. These included the fashion designers of the TV series ‘The Avengers’ in which Honor Blackman, as Cathy Gale, appears in truly knee-high Black Leather Boots. As well as a full black leather outfit to match. For the year 1963, this was pretty shocking television. In the U.S., the Thigh-high style really took off in 1965, some say as a result of the success of the then blockbuster film ‘Dr. Zhivago’. From the second half of the sixties and especially throughout the seventies, ThighBoots ( even Thigh-high Frye Boots ) were a must have in a Woman’s footwear collection. Many of the era’s actresses, including Faye Dunaway, Jamie Curtis, Jane Fonda, Dianna Rigg, Sally Fields and Rachel Welsh would often appear on film in tall or over the knee boots. Thigh-highs were to stay fashionable until the year 1980. Right at the time when Progressivism was in freefall and Reagan and Conservatism began to Rule. Anyone stating that thigh-highs were still part of the fashion scene in the ’80’s is distinctly incorrect. In 1980, the de rigueur style was ankle low and flat-heeled. In anything, the popularity of Punk meant that combat boots were also the new sensation. Today, the longevity of the ThighBoots style is likely a result of the explosion of adult images on the web, particularly the number in which the female subjects are clad in over-the-knee footwear. A final note: Ladies reading this rant might be interested to learn of the many Thigh-high boots available from Pleaser. These can be found at snaz75.com and include the legend 8868. At around $60 - $90, the 8868 is hundreds of dollars less than most other ThighBoots.
