Everyone, take note: fall's biggest boot trend is not, in fact, the ankle boot, but rather its complete opposite: the thigh-high boot.
We know, we know over-the-knee footwear has been pretty popular for the past few seasons, but it's showing no sign of slowing down, with retailers everywhere offering the boots in various styles and price points.
To avoid looking all "Pretty Woman" and make your thigh-high boots work-appropriate, opt for a suede or velvet pair, rather than leather (or worse, patent leather). Don't be afraid to experiment with details, such as lace-up accents and fringe, and colour (black is great, but think how gorgeous a bordeaux pair would look).
And of course, be sure to play around with heel height and width, whether you want a skinny stiletto, a lower, block heel or a flat.
