Isn’t it absolutely wonderful when something super sexy, mildly decadent and old school classic that once went out of style, makes a blazing comeback?
Think about it.
Remember in the golden era of the 1960s and 70’s when gorgeous shapely high school and college girls wore tight pants, preferably light blue or white, full panties dark, where you could see their panty lines that cut into the juicy meat of their curves?
Luv it buddy!
Oh well, if you weren’t there then you missed out. Would love to see that style make a comeback.
The following photo doesn’t do that time period justice but we can only work with what we have.
Excuse me Miss? I dropped my quarter. Yeah right there. Could you please pick it up for me? Thank you so much.
Having panted (pun intended) all of that through heavy breathing, the good news is that there is a classic line of clothing acessories that has made a blazing comeback.
What is that?
Remember this fun and super enjoyable film?
Pretty Woman is a 1990 American romantic comedy film directed by Garry Marshall from a screenplay by J. F. Lawton. The film stars Richard Gere and Julia Roberts.
The story centers on a down-on-her-luck Hollywood hooker Vivian Ward, who is hired by Edward Lewis, a wealthy businessman, to be his escort for several business and social functions, and their developing relationship over the course of her week-long stay with him.
Originally intended to be a dark cautionary tale about class and sex work in Los Angeles, the film was reconceived as a romantic comedy with a large budget. It was widely successful at the box office and became one of the highest-grossing films of 1990.
The film saw the highest number of ticket sales in the U.S. ever for a romantic comedy, with Box Office Mojo listing it as the #1 romantic comedy by the highest estimated domestic tickets sold at 42,176,400, slightly ahead of My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002) at 41,419,500 tickets.
Hey? See what some thigh high boots can do for a pretty girl?

Now look, this writer is a gentleman so I won’t call them “Hooker Boots”, but I’ve got to admit, it kinda has a sexy sound to it.
Should we call them Courtesan boots?
Now before you judge, please remember that a courtesan was originally a courtier, which means a person who attends the court of a monarch or other powerful person.
No?
Okay, we’ll call them thigh high boots and thankfully they are way back.
BELLA THORNE
The elegant and delicious site glamour.com seems to agree. “The right pair of over-the-knee boots can be a secret weapon in your wardrobe, ready to be deployed on fall days when you’re not quite ready to break out your tights, but still want to get some mileage out of your dresses. They can be pulled on over skinny jeans and leggings, paired with cozy sweaters and floaty skirts, and of course styled with your shortest minidress, a look once championed by Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman and since enthusiastically adopted by Kendall Jenner, et al. However you wear them, you’ll have plenty of options to choose from this season, with brands like Off-White, Saint Laurent, and Opening Ceremony embracing all things thigh-high, and stalwarts like Stuart Weitzman and Zara offering up tall boots for every style.”
Look how they look on a curvy beauty. We loved Nadia so much they we featured her in an article. No thigh highs necessary, just beautiful hips and thighs.

Yes it is true that there are so many options to choose from in terms of manufacturers and designers but one brand that does seem to stand out among the thigh high crowd is Stuart Weitzman.
Stuart A. Weitzman is an American shoe designer, entrepreneur and founder of the shoe company, Stuart Weitzman. Mr. Weitzman has designed footwear for Beyoncé and Taylor Swift.
He is also known for providing one-of-a-kind, “million dollar” shoes to an Oscar nominee to wear at the Academy Awards, including a pair of platinum sandals adorned with 464 diamonds that actress Laura Harring wore to the 2002 ceremony.
Weitzman uses unique materials including cork, vinyl, lucite, wallpaper, and 24-karat gold). His shoes are sold in over 70 countries.
Aren’t you thinking about purchasing one of his prize thigh highs?

In terms of his pricing, the respected group businessoffashion.com seems to understand Stuart Weitzman’s brilliance. “Owning his own factories has allowed Weitzman to keep his prices significantly lower than other upscale shoe brands — by 30 to 50 percent, depending on the style of shoe.”
So there you go. We’re so glad this leggy classic beauty is back.

The thigh-high boot was a fashion hit of the 1960s but has recently made its way back onto the catwalk and into the high street store, meaning that anyone who is anyone will be sporting a pair of the very own thigh-high wonders during this 2017 Christmas season.
That is good news indeed.
Now with all of the myriads of choices, how will you decide?
We now have a visiting writer who will provide you with some great suggestions.
How to Find Your Perfect Thigh-High Boot
The thigh-high boot was a fashion hit of the 1960s but has recently made its way back onto the catwalk and into the high street store, meaning that anyone who is anyone will be sporting a pair of the very own thigh-high wonders during this Christmas season.
During the 1960s thigh-high boots made their appearance on the catwalks under the signatures of top designer brands who launched the leather and vinyl thigh-high boot for their collections. The thigh-high boot worn with the classic mini-skirt of the era was a common combination that oozed style and pizzazz.
After accepting a rather negative vibe for a good 30 year period, when the thigh-high boot was considered to be more of a trashy garment than a chic accessory, this 1960s hit has come back with a vengeance in recent years, hitting the catwalks again in 2009 and threatening to remain popular as the cold sets in towards the end of 2010.
The important matter surrounding the thigh-high boot for any fashion-conscious woman reading this article is how to wear it and how to wear it well.
Follow the following tips outlined below in order to select the right kind of boot for you and to combine your boot choice with an outfit to match and flatter, whatever the occasion…
*The Busy Woman*
If you are on your feet all day and you have to rush from place to place without stopping even for a bite to eat, then you should really invest in a pair of flat heeled boots that are going to allow you to do all that you need to do without making matters more difficult.
Flat-heeled boots worn over the thigh can look fantastically cool and natural when worn with a loose and long cardigan or a pair of skin tight jeans.
*The Office Girl*
If you are in the office every day, wearing tailored clothing including tapered skirts and shirts that reveal your sexy waist line, then you should think about opting for the office girl thigh-high which might come in a slightly softer material, like suede, but that would definitely obey the medium-sized heel rule.
You want a style of boot that is going to complement your structured office clothes line, but that is not going to be so dressy that you look as though you have come to the office directly after going out to a club the night before. Classy but business-like is the effect that you need to aim for, so experiment a little with different kinds of materials, fabrics and colours. A soft grey could be a good option for the office.
*The Sports and Leisure Lady*
Why not take a leaf out of the Prada fashion book and wear a pair of thigh-high boots with shorts. Keep the shorts baggy and not too short in order to avoid looking trashy in this combination and you’ll find that you have the perfect outfit for a weekend out about the town, having coffee with friends or even going to the local football match with your boyfriend.
You’ll look young, hip and fresh wearing boots in this manner.
*The Classic Female*
Hark back a little to the past and take inspiration from the 1960s, fashioning yourself a vintage look by wearing your thigh-highs of any heel height with a mini dress of your choice.
If this idea doesn’t take your fancy then wrapping up warm this winter in a huge, voluminous, over-sized coat to match and accentuate those newly purchased boots could be the style that you have been searching for. Let’s face it, when it gets cold in the city who wants to take off their jacket anyway? Buy your boots and your winter coat as a pair and be the talk of the town when you enter any bar at any time of day.
