Thigh high boots? Over the knee boots? Stocking boots? Cuissardes?
In October 2020 the team at Marie Denee’s The Curvy Fashionista showcased a line of thigh high boots by Nadia Aboulhosn in collaboration with Fashion to Figure/FJF. This followed Ms Aboulhosn’s successful capsule of thigh high boots launched in late 2019.
The FJF collaboration appears to have been as successful and well-received as the November 2019 capsule. I haven’t bought over the knee boots out of concern that any extra long boots would be stiff and uncomfortable, but the reviews on FJF are extremely positive and now I’m wishing I’d snapped up a pair – probably the chocolate brown. The boots have a lace up back, and what look like stable and comfortable heels. I’d have worn them with my current favourite skinny jeans, which I bought fro Eloquii last year.
There are a still few pairs of these lovely boots available in a size 7 at the FJF website.
