Although that movie is probably one of my favorite movies of all time, I wouldn't say that I would necessarily take fashion advice from it. Granted her floppy hats and conservative outfit at the polo game and the infamous red dress for the opera are worthy of repeating the question is whether the knee highs are hookerish or worth investing in? If the answer is worth investing, then you have to ask your self, what should I wear them with, a skirt, shorts, pants? In my personal opinion knees highs should not come back. In order to get all the bang for your buck for a boot like that you have to showcase it when you wear them. Therefore wearing them under something long or over pants just doesn't give it the affect it demands. So most girls opt for wearing the knee high boots with a short skirt or shorts. So my point is that you have no choice but to wear a skimpy little skirt with the boots, which gives you a scandalous look. Call me old fashion but I like the more timeless clean looks, I don't think women need to showcase so much skin to get attention. Wit and charm should be your focal point not your mini skirt and bare legs. I am saying this becuase knee highs are especially worn during the colder months during the day. Evening outfits allow for a bit more skin however day outfits are the more elegant and professional. That is why you don't see girls walking out in the day time in a club mini dress because there is a time and place for that much skin and sexiness and it is not in the day while in the office. However, of course my opinion may be outdated or to conservative but what can I say I am a 26 year old that wants to be remembered for what I say not how much skin I show. However this is my opinion and you know I've seen some bloggers pull of the knee highs decently so without further ranting I will provide some potential knee highs if you are in the market.
I love Stuart Weitzman, his shoes are well made and decently comfortable regardless of heel size: If you are willing to make the investment here are some knee highs that you can pre-order:
A bit more affordable are these two Zara boots, the first is a high heel while the second is a low square heel made for everyday walking:

I have to admit that I love Boutique 9 shoes and the little details: here are probably my favorite knee-highs Ive seen yet:
I hope that everyone is having a wonderful beginning of Fall, I am excited to finally enjoy some fall festivities this weekend and I will definitely be back with info on what I wore and other fall harvest inspired attire! Thanks for reading!
