# Pant Boot Hybrids The Tamera Mellon Pant Boot Creation is Modern and Streamlined By Joanne Bear | Published 2013-12-06 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tamara-mellon-pant-boot References: [elle](http://www.elle.com/news/fashion-style/tamara-mellon-boot-leather-pant-combo?src=spr_TWITTER&spr_id=1448_33585633&6874026=1) The Tamara Mellon pant boots are an odd but surprisingly chic combination of several different garments.Tamara Mellon designed these wacky pants/boots, which could also be considered a legging. Mellon is describing her creation as: "a thigh boot that pulls right up into a legging. You can wear a sweater over it or a big man's shirt and there's no gap." The cost for these pants/boots is $1,995, and they are available on Net-A-Porter.com. These unusual pants/boots/leggings seem to be creating confusion for some, while others are grabbing them as fast as they are being stocked. Apparently, the pant/boots/leggings sold out over half of the available sizes just 24 hours after becoming available online.
