Love 'em or hate 'em, they're here to stay! I don't really know anyone who hates them, but I'm sure you're out there. The ones above are Michelle D, purchased at Dillard's in November of 2007 for $119.
Knee-high boots tucked into jeans have come in and gone out dozens of times throughout history, and right now is what we'd call an "In" period. I have to admit, i think there are few things that say "casually classy" better than a pair of Seven or Citizens Jeans-- or even some from Old Navy!-- tucked into tall brown riding boots. These are a staple everywhere from New York to LA, still seen on the runways at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York.
Issues with getting your jeans tucked into your boots just right? If you don't want to outlay the money for the elastic jodhpur straps that attach to your jeans, then go under your heel, try wearing knee socks and tucking your jeans into them, or do what I do; fold the inner seams and slide your foot into the boot, then zip the lower part of the boot up while holding that folded seam against your leg. It works great! You can also try the 80's fold, where you make a wide folded cuff of your jeans and continue to fold and cuff up until the cuff is at the top of the boots.
Of course, you don't need great jeans to make these boots work! They look equally fabulous with midcalf-length or above-the-knee dresses, adding a touch of western chic that works really well for the Redneck Fashionista!
If you have any tips or tricks or ways to wear tall boots, please feel free to chime in on the comments page! This has been The Redneck Fashionista, coming to you from a place where leopard and cow print are always in-- no matter how much you might hate it.
