PSA: There Are Tons of Wide-Calf Thigh-High Boots on Offer Right Now

We’re all in agreement that trends should be accessible to everyone, right? Right. With that in mind, I’d love to have someone explain to me why wide-calf thigh-high boots are far more difficult to find than their “regular”-calf counterparts. OK—that’s actually lie. I know I’d just hear the same excuses brands who don’t carry plus sizes use: It takes extra fabric, costs too much, or there isn’t a big customer base. These excuses are tired, folks—about as tired as I am after having to scour the Internet to find wide-calf over-the-knee boots in myriad styles.

Despite the search, though, this trend is out there for people who have wider calves. (!) The problem of accessibility in fashion is by no means solved, but at least more of us can take part in this trend—which was arguably started by Ariana Grande herself. (Anyone else remember the infamous paparazzi photo of her, Pete Davidson, and one very lucky lollipop?) Thigh-high boots have always had such an effortlessly cool vibe, and thanks to several brands who prefer not to exclude a large chunk of the population, they’re available in wide-calf styles.

Whether you’re into a classic black faux leather look or want something statement-making—like a leopard or snake print—there’s a pair of wide-calf over-the-knee boots waiting to spice up your wardrobe. Wear them with your favorite wintry mini dress or try pairing some thigh-high boots with skinny jeans and an oversized sweater. However you choose to style these beauts, they’re sure to add the perfect amount of drama to your look. And if you want to channel Ariana Grande walking around with Pete Davidson and a lollipop? I certainly won’t stop you.

So go ahead and live the ~extra~ life you’ve always wanted. You’ll find the cutest pairs of wide-calf thigh-high boots to shop below—from neutrals to bold animal prints. There’s a little something for everyone. And that’s exactly how it should be.
