There’s ‘Over the top’, ‘Over the hill’, and ‘Over’. In each case, you’re not wild about whatever’s at stake. Even in the best of cases – considering, say, ‘overview’ – you’re still not into specifics. ‘Over’, in other words, is one very elusive word.

But then there’s fashion. And if fashion suddenly (but not inexplicably) decides to make something hot (to paraphrase Paris Hilton), all logic goes out the window. How? Why? Because Over Knees are flattering and sexy with a respective capital F and S, period.
