Shop the Trend: The Tall Sexy Boot
Every woman has that one item that turns her into instant sex goddess. For us, it’s the tall boot.
This season, anything goes with heels (thick, thin, platform) as long as they’re high. After parading around on wedges, we’re back to stilettos and thicker heels—and you’ll be glad for it. These are undeniably hot. And whether you like over-the-knee or just under, there’s a perfect pair just ready to turn up the heat on your outfit.
We picked our 10 favorite pairs in stores now. It’s time to start shopping.
