Tell me I’m not the only one who’s found it is easier to spot a unicorn than to find a great pair of thigh high boots.
Made from thick matte leather, that fit narrow to the top with just the right amount of wiggle room. Plus a rounded toe with a platform.
Anyone with recs that don’t cost a rent payment?
ps. I have a faux leather pair that aren’t quite what I am looking for so I’ll add them to the ‘for sale’ pile.

  4. Amber says:

    I agree!! everything that is affordable is not HIGH enough!! And I don’t want to wait till next season when everywhere has them, I need them now!

  5. Suzanne says:

    oh i agree ive def been looking everywhere but still nothing! good luck w/ finding some and ill let u know if i find any that ud like 🙂 also i LOVE LOVE LOVE ur last post. i know velvet is very in right now and i was just thinking everything we’ve seen is bodycon but what youre wearing is an awesome way to wear velvet. i think bodycon and velvet dont mix well as they make a person look bigger, but the oversized fit is perfect. im def buying one – hope u dont mind i really like it haha and the color is unique also. what size is yours if you dont mind me asking? and whats your height? tia karen!

    Hi babe, did you check out the zara ones? (Not sure if it’s real leather though!)

  14. Hannah says:

    Topshop has some pretty good offerings – ‘Britany’, ‘Britany 2’ and ‘Billy’. It won’t let me paste the links in. . . sorry!

  15. Fashion Chalet says:

    Tell me about it, all I kept craving was soup and salad… NOT fast food.. O_o and yes NYC is a lot closer for me know. I plan to get there if not this year, early next year. 🙂

    PS: Chanel is so beautiful, and those boots! GAHH!

    Same here, Karen! I’ve been having a hell of a time trying to find the perfect pair or two.

  17. Karen says:

    Fashion Chalet – I know Chanel is stunning. I’ve seen her in real life too and she’s so pretty. Cow. LOL!!!!!!! ; )

    Lala/Anon – I know you would think there would be a better selection right now of all times! Anon – I’m just under 5ft 7. The colour of that dress is called ‘Putty’ and the size is XS

    Thischicksgotstyle – do they look like a faux suede? I did notice those during last week….I wonder if your Zara and the one here are identical. I THINK they are though right? I think I know the ones you mean : -)

    Thanks everyone for your recs!!! I have made a choice!!

    Will post pics of the boots when they arrive.

  18. sisimae says:

    Excellent topic!! I got exactly same problem, I’ve got the britany 2 from topshop, and it’s just not high enough for my thigh! Now, the britany taller version is back, I tried them on and it just don’t seem to go up to my chuncky thigh high enough!!

    yummy boots. i’m so obsessed with Chanel.

  21. Karen says:

    TAJ – thanks for the links. I ended up picking a pair from another website.

    I’ll post soon which ones soon as they delivery!

    K – Yea I love Chanel. She’s as cute as a button.

    Sisimae – how far did the Britanys come on your leg? were they too narrow on you but were in your opinion high enough? Yea I saw the Britnay 2 ones but noticed they were shorter.

  22. Anonymous says:

    Topshop have some really good ones in at the mo the style is called britany. they are really good as there tight on the thighs i have found alot of other thigh highs arent tight enough

  25. tina_mbc says:

    Hmmm, I ‘ve been looking for a pair of thigh high boots too, and yet to find sth that I like… think I might go for the Zara ones (suede, no platform, round toe)…!
    Good luck with your seargh Karen!
