Clever Knee High BootsAdd a Twist to the Trend for Hosiery with Clever Knee High Boots

Hosiery was a huge trend for Autumn/Winter 2011, which looks set to continue well into 2012. From printed and patterned, to lacy and lace up, attention grabbing tights were seen on the catwalks of Henry Holland, Betsy Johnson and Marc Jacobs, before they filtered down to the high street with hosiery brands such as Pamela Mann, Wolford and Pretty Polly.

The trouble with tights however is that they’re easily snagged and laddered, and you may find yourself going through pair after pair in your efforts to indulge in this latest fashion trend. Why not consider a sexy pair of Banana Shoes knee high boots as a more practical alternative?

The Bandit 426 boot by Leg Avenue is an unusual knee high boot that taps into the trend for tights perfectly. Designed to look like sexy Mary Janes over a microfibre suede ‘sock’, these boots also feature criss-crossing buckled straps up the leg.

Not only do these knee high boots give a look similar to wearing a shoe over a thick, velvety knee high sock, but they also tap into the bondage trend that’s riding high in the fashion charts.

Just like stunning hosiery, knee high boots have the ability to make any woman feel sexy. And the Bandit 426 features a four inch stiletto heel and a one inch platform, for both style and comfort.

If you’re the kind of woman that likes all eyes on you, these sexy knee high boots are real show stoppers, and will attract as much attention as even the sexiest pair of patterned tights.

So be different – purchase a cleverly designed pair of knee high boots, and wear the latest legwear trend with a twist.

Clubwear: Find your Perfect LBD

clubwear little black dressEvery woman needs a fabulous Little Black Dress in her wardrobe, and what could look better when out clubbing than the perfect combination of sexy and sophisticated?

When it comes to clubwear, it’s essential to think form-fitting. A bodycon dress that hugs you in all the right places is sure to turn heads in the club and on the dancefloor.

The asymmetric trend is still going strong so why not try a little black one sleeved number like the Espiral 4710? This stunning LBD features one long sleeve which would look fabulous balanced out with a chunky bangle.

Those who like the asymmetric look but wish to avoid being restricted by a long sleeve may prefer the one shouldered Espiral 4073. Also featuring a figure hugging bodice and long shoulder ties, this LBD is simple, stylish and sexy. As it showcases the neck area beautifully, why not add a pair of eye-catching chandelier earrings to add interest?

When wearing a slinky little black dress, you may wish to balance out your look with a stand out shoe. A funky ankle boot would look great, particularly in a contrasting design such as a bright colour, metallic or animal print.

Qupid has a stunning range of ankle booties such as the Neutral 141 which is available in leopard print and metallic shades, or the Nelson 03 which comes in a fabulously bright, stand-out blue. All of these gorgeous shoes come with a sexy five inch heel and clever concealed platform, so that you can dance the night away in style and comfort.

A fabulous little black dress deserves an equally fabulous shoe. You can find both your perfect LBD and a wide range of glamorous shoes to complement it at Banana Shoes, and feel confident when clubbing in your sexy clubwear.
