Gaiters, says right there. Green part goes around your leg/top of your boot, the black part fastens under the boot heel.

I suspect the "fab to be drab" part refers to fashion trends like GORPcore and normcore, where "boring" or outdoorsy clothing is worn as a fashion statement.

"Drab" because that color is olive drab.

What about the "girl" part? Is there a specific aspect of these gaiters which makes them feminine? I can't tell from the picture.

Dirty Girl might just be the brand.

Dirty girl is the brand

They are more expensive and less functional, knowing clothes companies.

Brand name. Dirty girl

I think these 'micro gaiters' don't go under your heel - the black part is the hook for your shoelace.

Interesting, haven't heard of those.
