Ten Fall Trends and How to Wear Them

OVER-THE-KNEE BOOTS
Most commonly associated with street walkers and made famous by Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, thigh-grazing boots are, let's face it, pretty hard to wear without looking like a tramp. If the platform and stiletto styles sported on the runway seem a little unpalatable, try a flat version-it's a bit more Robin Hood than Vivian Ward. Try pairing them with a floaty miniskirt and dark tights, or a belted trench that extends past the top of the boot for a kind of leather leggings effect: Both will take the edge off the boots' overt sexiness.
