A strong trend in the 2010s, thigh-high boots have seen their popularity wane over the years. Now they're back in the spotlight, seen on every Autumn-Winter 2025-2026 catwalk. While some like to wear them boldly combined with a dress or mini-skirt, they also appear in more sober silhouettes, worked into a "boot tuck" with cigarette jeans. Practical for upping the fashion quotient of even the simplest looks, thigh-high boots are once again the sexiest pieces of the fall season.
