Hooka Boots or NOT? .... (Via Made By Girl)

How about a little FASHION post for the Holidays?


I don't know about YOU, but I'm really loving over the knee boots this HOLIDAY season. Ever since I saw someone wearing them a couple weeks ago, I knew I had to get a pair. This woman knew how to wear them, I was FLOORED at how chic and stylish she looked in them!!  All of a sudden that whole over the knee boot STIGMA was gone! I never really owned a pair of these, so I was curious....could I carry this look?!? 


I always thought they were too 'PRETTY WOMAN'....& some like to call them HOOKA boots, yes, I said HOOKA! (it's my way of saying it)

Well, let's just say..... I don't see them that way anymore. In fact, when worn with the right top and jeans, they look great!! When I was in Palm Springs this Thanksgiving weekend, I decided to BUY myself an early Christmas gift. I bought the Charles David ones you see below & they look AMAZING! My guy thinks so too.

So, tell me....do you own a pair of over-the-knee boots? or are they just not for you??

  1. I have to say, I was nervous to buy them too, but I love them and have gotten so many compliments. Mine have no heel though (something like this: http://www.stevemadden.com/Item.aspx?id=51842&np=127_282-129_396-596) which I felt took a little Hooka out of them. ;) Now that I see all the cute heel ones though I have changed my mind! Maybe I need a new pair for this year... hahaha

  3. I like 'em with skinny jeans or leggings, but I think the real key is to stick with more conservative elements on top (like, say, a great blazer or jacket). Don't own a pair though myself because here in Houston I'd only get to trot them out one or two times a year -- way too warm here!

  5. MELANIE: Ha! I just saw yours. I ACTUALLY tried on some with no heels...and they weren't for me. I looked frumpy...I needed something with a heel...and I knew i still wanted a sexy look. As I said, you can make them look stylish and chic depending on what you coordinate them with... :)

  6. I would get a pair in a heartbeat if my legs weren't only 2 feet tall. I think they would go up to my crotch ;)

  7. i think they are totally chic. Obviously if you pair them with a mini skirt, no tights, and a corset, you risk leaning on the "hooka" side... but they actually cover a lot of skin. I would totally rock these!

  8. I have some heeled over the knee boots and I love them.. I just feel in love with that pair that goes from the knee to the short ankle bootie.. LOVE them.. where did you find them?

    ReplyDelete
  9. I tried on many pairs, but I have calves like an athlete! No, not legs like a tennis player, but remember those 1950s pinups? I have legs like that and smaller feet. If you have smaller calves, I recommend these boots. I think we should all fly to Italy and have some custom made ;). Suede seems to stretch more....

  10. I love HOOKA boots! I have wanted some for years before they became popular but i had the hardest time finding any. Especially vegetarian/animal friendly ones.

    When you wrote HOOKA I was thinking HOOKAH. That pipe used for smoking the flavored tobacco! Lol!!

  11. I'm not sure I could pull them off, but I think they can look amazing worn with the right outfit!
    I love that first grey pair!! I bet you look incredible in yours.

  12. I also own a black pair with no heels and they are sooo comfortable and versatile, I'm already thinking of buying another few pairs in different colors (maybe with heels?). And the best is that they keep my legs warm because they end where my coat begins - but I guess this isn't essential for you in that lovely climate:)

  13. Funny you posted this...because after much deliberation I finally bought a pair just yesterday! I was afraid they wouldn't be comfortable to sit/move around in, but they're actually great. Perfect for cold Chicago winters :)

  14. Really want a pair, but I have short legs and I am afraid that I would look like I have boots for legs.

  15. ok... now I'm convinced... I so want some of these!

  16. Well, to be honest, my legs are too short and probably too big to wear over-the-knee boots. I don't think I'd be able to get them up to my knees, and if I did, they'd probably keep going all the way up to my butt!

    Have fun wearing yours :-)

  17. I am all about hooka boots!

    ReplyDelete
  18. I think it is all in the way they are worn. The ones you chose are def. my favorite. Good choice...I love the leather at the toe and heel...it's a good contrast!

    ReplyDelete
  19. I think they are not for me, but I adore them on other people! I'm sure you rock them hard! :D

  20. You are completely right, they are totally chic when done right...I haven't pulled the trigger on "the pair" yet, but that might have something to do with living in PHX...(c; And besides, how fabulous was Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, anyways??? lol I am definitely not endorsing the mini with the over-the-knees...

  21. I have a pair that coverts to slouchy, at the knee, or over the knee and they are great with tight skinnies or jeggings...and I say it that way too :) After watching True Blood and hearing one the characters Lafayette always say it like that, it makes me laugh!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Yes I have a pair and I wear them all the time. Mine are flat so it's easier to wear them.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Oh yeah, I'd TOTALLY get some! The ones you bought are hot!

    I actually have a pair that are folded down below the knee, but you can flip the top of them up to be thigh-highs. I haven't had the courage to do it yet... maybe after I have this baby so I won't look so awkward, haha!

    ReplyDelete
  24. I think they look good as long as they are not paierd with a mini (kind of Hooka right?) But they are not my style, at least not yet ;)

    ReplyDelete
  25. I bought my first over the knee boots a month ago in Palm Desert and LOVE them! I bought a flat, light brown pair and wear them all the time. I worried I couldn't pull them off but they are really flattering. Great post, as always :-)

  26. i love my pair of OTK boots! my fav pairing is with a big chunky sweater!

    ReplyDelete
  27. totally yeah!! We just coming into summer here in Australia, but totally enjoying having knee high boots in summer!! love them so much!! :)

    ReplyDelete
  28. I adore over the knee boots! Lately I've been wearing OTK tights with knee high boots for a similar look. I'm sure the boots you purchased will look great!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Hot! Love them. You definitely made the right decision!

  30. LOVE my otk boots... but for me they have to be suede and a medium-low heel. anything too shiny or spiky borders on 'hooka' territory! but the right pair styled right is the epitome of cool.

  31. I really like the ones got. I would wear them but it seems like it would take me forever to get into one of them puppies. But, I guess it's like they say, "pain is beauty."

    ReplyDelete
  32. I love, love, love mine!!! I was really worried I wouldn't be able to pull them off, but decided to try it anyways. Whenever I wear them I always get compliments. Mine are flats, which I think are a good way to break into the look if you're someone who is a little worried about it at first.

  33. I love over-the-knee boots and I have a pair of black suede ones with about 2.5 inch heels - they are beautiful and comfortable as well. I don't think they are hooka boots. As someone before me said - if you pair them with a very short mini - maybe they are hooka boots, but paaired with skinny pants or jeans - they are amazing and classic!

  34. just got a pair myself(stuart weitzman-not too hookerish ;) my husband LOVES them too!

    ReplyDelete
  35. call me a hooka girl...HOOKA TAMARA...(YEP THATS ME) love these boots. I just feel sexy in thigh highs..and something tight on my legs..i think its my husbands fault..

    ReplyDelete
  36. TAMARA: HA! Your comment made me laugh....i often wonder, why do guys like these so much ? Hmmm
    Anyway.....i am no into them :)))

  37. I thought I don't like these long boots.... but when I saw this picture of the Juicy boots I was sold!!

  38. LOL at "Hooka"! I know the stigma attached to these boots, but stigma or no; They are not for me. The convertible ones that go from tall to short look nice though.

    ReplyDelete
  39. i brought a pair just below the knee which is nice because i'm tall and a lot of my tall boots aren't' tall enough. the only person over 40 who has worn them convincingly is halle berry, so that's a factor for me, but it's also budget. i can't buy ever annual trend. I think tall boots will never play out, but these will by next season.

  40. LINDSEY LOVE: I got them at Charles David store in L.A. :)

  41. I HAVE to get a pair of these. I haven't gotten a pair of boots yet this winter so I think I'm going to get a pair. I think as long as you don't wear it with a mini skirt you won't look like a hooka too. =)
