Every era gets a shoe. The 60s had the Birkenstock, the 70s had the platform boot, the 80s had the stiletto, and the 90s the Doc Marten. Now we have the over-the-knee boot.

The current style is to wear them with an oversize top and coat (nicknamed “lampshading” for the big-small silhouette it creates), usually without trousers, with leggings and oversized knits or the micro skirt.

Over the knee boots elongate the leg and can be easily worn from day to night.
