As I said in an earlier post, I've spent much of the last week scanning through 100's of gigabytes of 2014/15 movies and TV shows. Virtually without exception it was a depressing parade of ankle shoes. I felt the need to collect a few TV clips which were all produced (approx) between 2010-2012.
I would never have thought that knee-high boots worn over pants could disappear so quickly from our screens. As I've stated too many times, this is particularly mystifying considering they remain commonplace on our streets.
For completeness sake, I feel I should mention that the Melissa & Joey clip, the NatGeo clip and Biggest Loser clip were all supposed to be included in this theme, but I got carried away with posting yesterday and forgot.
I believe I've mentioned and you may have noticed that I am MUCH less interested in knee boots worn with a skirt/dress. I know this bias is not shared by many of you. I apologize for neglecting this broad swath of bootage, but it's hard enough just keeping up with boot looks I like without worrying about those I don't.

ReplyDeleteI have a theory on this - for some reason unbeknown to me, ankle shoes have always been deemed 'trendy' by the fashion crowd. In the UK, they are only really worn by young girls (under 25) and fat women whose legs are too fat to get into tall boots. Every AW (Fall) season is the same - the constant wheeling out of the ankle shoes in the press and via stylists, when the reality is most adult women prefer tall statement boots as something to look forward to buying.
And that's it - TV and film costumes are done by stylists. And stylists 'do' ankle shoes. Bastards.
