I have a pair of black leather knee-highs, the heels are 3inches high, and inch and a bit wide, so not stillettos. But no matter what i wear with them, i look so tarty.
If i was to wear a skirt above the knee it would make me look like a tart, and if i wore it with a skirt below knee it still doesnt look right. I even wore it over my jeans and it looked silly.
How can i get away with wearing knee highs without looking like a prostitute?
The heels are chunky, am i just being paranoid or is there a way i should dress to look good in knee-high boots.
I always wear decent non revealing tops, im 5'2 and have a pear shaped slim body (small top, curvy bum, slim legs).
Should i go for kneehighs without heels? Can they still look sexy?

I know what you mean, I also love my boots but feel rather self-conscious in them! The safest bet is to make sure that you have a non-clingy top - long sleeved on.
I think if you choose the right moment to wear them, with the right outfit, you can look stunning and sexy, without appearing to be too OTT. The main thing is to not regret wearing them and have the confidence built up beforehand!
If you are going to wear them for work, I personally would stick with a chunkier, rather than stilleto heel, but thats just me! Note - if you are going to wear hold-ups with them, do buy a decent pair as the other week I had some on and they started falling down in the middle of a conference. Fun. Not

Heels that are too high and especially stilettos, look like hooker boots.
It matters what you wear with them too. Ultra short skirts with those type of boots really look cheap.
If you have a pear shaped body, you need to make the bottom half look slim, maybe with a black skirt, not tight or short. Wear a fashionable top that is of a light color so it looks bigger than the bottom. Don't wear tops where your breasts are hanging out, more of a trashy look than attractive. Forget the "sexy" go for attractive and tasteful.

Funny you should ask this. I am just about to give my knee high black leather boots to my sister. I don't really wear them because I think they're slutty..and I just don't wear heels much these days.
I do think they look good with a 3/4 length skirt though - not slutty.
I have afriend whose nickname for such boots is 'Come *&^% me boots' because that's what they seem to say. But yeah, if the rest of what you wear is modest then I think they can look classy not slutty.
As you don't like longer skirts, I'd go for boots without heels. Heels just give you backache anyway.

It all depends on how you wear them, if they are patent leather then there is nothing you can do except throw them out or accept looking cheap!
I wear mine over jeans or with skirts just past the knee for work and they don't look slutty at all.
I'd say you are just being paranoid, but ask an honest friend for their opinion.

I would say go for a skirt below the knee but with a flared/flippy hemline so it gives some width to balance the heels and your figure.
Add some bright accessories on your top half, like a colourful hat or scarf, to draw the eye up and give you more height.
Smile and walk with confidence and you will look great.

No you can wear knee high boots without looking slutty. Wear them with a nice skirt just above the knee some nice pantyhose and a tasteful shirt. It doesn't matter what you wear as long as you look classy.

They're so mainstream nowdays that I doubt if many people think of them as tarty. I have several pairs and I wear them with knee length or 3/4 length skirts or under my jeans. I suppose if you wore them with a short skirt it may look tarty but with a longer skirt it's more classy and elegant.

I always think a skirt just above the knees black tights and a fitted polo neck top looks class with knee highs. go for it and enjoy, apply natural looking make up dont slap it on and DONT wear huge hooped earings they are what makes a girl look tarty enjoy!

Just don't wear a skirt too short and they won't look slutty. I'm too old to get away with it now but I always loved the knee high boots. They were popular when I was too young to wear them and now they've come back. They were called go go boots back then.
