Thigh High Boots: Two Ways

I have a love/hate relationship with thigh high boots. I love their sexy and tough vibe and the fact that they provide extra warmth and additional coverage for our legs. But being a petite (I’m only 5’1 ft), I didn’t think I could pull them off. After a few weeks of trying, now I don’t want to take mine off! I even use my Mary Jane pump and thigh-high socks to create the similar look when it’s too hot to wear boots.

Here are my four main considerations for hunting and styling thigh high boots: Buy suede ones instead of leather, since suede has a matte finish which can slim our legs; The perfect pair should fit like a glove, not too tight, not too loose, especially around the ankle area; When wearing them with skirts or shorts, make sure there are a few inches between the hemline and the top of your boots; Finally, balance the sexiness of a thigh high boot with some masculine touches, like the menswear-inspired coat and newsboy cap showed on the models above.

In Chinese：大腿靴性感又保暖，但我却既爱又恨，因为我个子比较小，总觉得这种靴型会切断腿形。但进入秋季后尝试着穿搭了几周，发现只要在选购和搭配时注意一些小细节和小技巧，娇小的女孩也可以穿，不但不会破坏线条，还会拉长腿型。

首先在选择时，我发现麂皮更能修饰腿型，因为相比有光泽的牛皮，麂皮吸光的特性使腿部看起来更收缩；其次在试穿时，不能太松或太紧，尤其不能盖住脚踝本身的线条；最后，在搭配时，尤其是配裙子或短裤时，要露出一些皮肤，裙子或短裤的边不能盖住靴子的上缘，因为视线会停留在靴筒的高度，视觉上靴筒盖住的地方好像都是小腿的长度，无形中就大大拉长了腿型。另外搭配时可以用这一季最流行的男孩风的单品去中和大腿靴太过女人味的感觉，比如在超模Rosie Huntington-Whiteley和Miranda Kerr身上看到的男士大衣和报童帽等。天气不太冷时，也可以用高跟鞋和大腿袜打造一个类似大腿靴的性感又可爱的造型！

Jumpsuit has been around for a while, from summer’s short overalls to fall’s long sleeved versions as you can see on today’s featured ladies. There are several reasons why we love a great jumpsuit:

First of all, it creates a long, lean silhouette that will make us look taller and slimmer, especially the versatile black one. Secondly, it’s as romantic and dramatic as a sexy-goddess maxi dress but much more practical and versatile. Thirdly, it has the perfect masculine/feminine balance which we all love today. Last but not least, it’s a no-brainer! You can just throw on and you are good to go.

In Chinese: 连身裤已经流行了好一阵了，从夏天就到处可见的清凉的短打连身裤到今年秋冬好多明星和名媛都偏爱的长袖装。存在必有其合理性，我最喜欢这种裤装的几点：首先，这种一件式的设计没有截断身形的担心，穿起来修身又显高；其次，它是性感和酷帅的完美结合。穿起来有和希腊女神式的长裙一样的视觉冲击，但是又没有那么挑场合挑季节。一年四季都可以穿，配合不同的鞋子和配饰也很容易打造适合不同场合的look。更重要的是你几乎不用费心考虑怎么穿搭，像裙子一样，只要套上去再加上一两个简单的配饰，比如一双性感的高跟鞋，一个手包，甚至只搭一只简单的大手表，就很有型了。
