Taylor Swift Put the Sexiest Spin on the Boot Trend Amal Clooney Wears

Publish date: 2024-05-05

Being your resident InStyle Swiftie, it fills me with joy to see Taylor Swift out and about, whether she’s out to eat at a trendy NYC restaurant, hanging with her gal pals, or headed off to the recording studio. Being a fashion editor, my excitement only increases, since Swift doesn’t miss a style beat. The same goes for one of her most recent ‘fits, one of which included a very sexy boot trend.

Recently, Swift was spotted wearing an all-black outfit that had Reputation (Taylor’s Version) written all over it. The singer donned a flattering turtleneck top alongside a tiny mini skirt. For accessories, she clung on to her Versace shoulder bag, proudly wore a Cartier herringbone necklace, and slipped on a Louis Vuitton Blossom ring. But I can’t talk about Swift’s going-out ensemble without making her Christian Louboutin Frenchie thigh-high boots, which go for upwards of $1,900 via resale, the star of the show.

Swift’s no foreigner to the sexy style, relying on leg-crawling boots like it’s clockwork. Just take a look at the singer’s recent ‘fits for proof. But she’s not the only one who has a knack for the dominatrix-like footwear. Margot Robbie substituted her pants for boots, while Amal Clooney is another fan, sporting thigh-highs and over-the-knee options like it’s her job. Though, Swift set herself apart by reaching for a lace-up design.

This unique detail mimics that of a combat boot, much like these Jeffrey Campbell Burned thigh-high shoes. The boots include a lace-up closure, pointed-toe, and razor-sharp heel. Together, they craft a bold, striking look that commands attention and creates a gorgeous leg-lengthening effect.

You can even find a more affordable variation of Swift’s footwear by opting for Shesole’s $90 lace-up boots. This option manages to make the style even more daring by adding in faux patent leather, a platform sole, and buckle details.

If you’re on the shorter side (like yours truly) or simply want a more modest option, then consider Eldof’s knee-high boots. They still mimic Swift’s look, but offer a shorter shaft height while maintaining key elements like a pointed toe, thin heel, and risqué lace-up front. You can even secure the same boot in a suede material and matte faux leather, as well.

No matter which boots you choose, you’ll simply be able to integrate them into your wardrobe. Pair the eye-catching footwear with sheer tights, a mini skirt, and an oversized jacket for a Swift-inspired outfit. A T-shirt dress will look extra sultry, while a pair of skinny jeans and a knit sweater can even dress down the shoes. Contrary to the footwear’s fearless look, they’re simple to style and will certainly become a piece you reach for again and again.

This may be a look that’s out of your comfort zone, or it may fit right in line with what you know and love. Either way, I encourage you to give the tall, lace-up boots a go. I mean, when has Miss Swift ever led us astray?
