I suppose. The knee-high ones are nowhere near as ubiquitous. |
Not the OP, but I went to a holiday party a few weeks back with leather skinny pants, a leather halter top and beautiful over the knee suede boots. I'm thin though. One of my husband's friends said, I'm sorry, but Got dam you look good! It was not a very DC outfit. |
And for a reason! |
Just because men find an outfit hot does NOT mean it's fashionable. |
I’d be totally mortified if a husbands friends said this about or to me. Not the attention I’m looking for, but to each their own |
|
I love ones linked below. Also, tall boots are absolutely everywhere right now, with skirts, dresses and under wide leg pants.

It's not a DC outfit because it ISN'T boring as hell! Good for you, PP. I'll bet you looked great. by the way I have black 5050's and wear them with my DVF wrap dresses and I look fantastic in a sea of super boring. |
This sounds like the quintessential boring and DCUM outfit for 60 year olds. |
Lord people. It was very fashionable. I get compliments every single day. Mostly because I don't dress like a frumpy DC woman. I am a lawyer and executive. I'm horrified by women in DC. |
This is the most dated look I can think of tbh... |
The fact that you think pointing out that you are a lawyer and executive supports the idea that you are fashionable is actually the most DC thing ever. Lawyers and executives are not generally a cool or fashionable bunch. In most places it's rude to ask people what they 'do'. In DC it's the first things mom ask the class playdate. |
PP here. You are right, in DC lawyers are usually not fashionable. I don't fit the mold. Every city has a question. Some places it's based on church, others it's what high school you attended. People in DC tend to do really interesting things. It starts a conversation. What is wrong with that? Are you mad b/c you don't do something interesting? |
I just don't understand why you brought up your job as a flex on a thread about boots. |
| Tall boots + short skirt = chef’s kiss |
PP here. It's DC. I don't consider being a lawyer a flex. It started with the question of where you would even wear knee high boots. The suggestion that DC women are plain as can be. Lawyers are usually pretty plain. That why I mentioned the lawyer part. Some of us hate that this is what DC has become. It was not always that way. Are you insecure b/c why are you harping on the lawyer thing. It's DC. |
