Lace-Up Boots TREND August 11, 2015 23:05

Over-the-knee (OTK) boots are one of the hottest trends in fashion. Over-the-knee boots broke back into the fashion scene in 2009 and show no signs of going away. An OTK boot ends above the knee, but does not exceed four inches over. A boot that extends more than four inches over the knee is classified as a thigh-high boot. Over-the-knee-boots were a popular fashion statement for women in the ’60s and ’70s before going out of style. They resurfaced for the 1990 film "Pretty Woman" starring Julia Roberts, and OTK boots lost their place as a respectable fashion statement and gained a reputation for belonging only on street corners. However, with the right outfit and accessories, OTK boots can look stunning and sophisticated. The recent fashionable trend is making them a staple of many celebrities’ wardrobes. Over-the-knee boots are a very versatile shoe choice and can be worn throughout the year. With this type of boot’s rise to popularity, it has been released in many different styles, and the buyer should decide what style and fit are best for her before making a purchase. Becoming familiar with the customizable options will allow women to have an easy and enjoyable shopping experience.
