Enzo Angiolini "Zakari" Boot, $119.90
My first intro to over the knee boots came courtesy of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. Remember that scene when she zipped up those patent kicks with a safety pin? Well, when I heard that the trend was circling back for an encore, that’s what I had in mind. Lucky for me (and every other woman not down with, um, street wear), the second coming of over-the-knee boots is a whole lot more demure, with a whole lot of style. Ranging in design from sky-high platforms to daytime-appropriate flats, these boots are incredibly versatile, and with the right look, can look incredibly chic. A word of warning though – this trend isn’t entirely for the faint of heart. It works best on longer-legged gals and an overall paired down look to avoid potential Pretty Woman jokes. These ones from Enzo Angiolini are a great option if you’re not sure the trend is for you. With a foldable collar, you can slowly work your way up over the knee until you’re comfortable rocking super-tall boots, but are slouchy enough that you’ll still be able to wear them long after the trend has come and gone again.
