How to wear Ankle Booties!

I love them! :D

Here are some great tips when wearing Ankle Boots (booties!):


Do Balance Out Black Boots with Black Jacket

Sometimes black booties look harsh with short dresses in light colors, but by adding a black leather jacket to a sparkly dress this look balances itself out.

Don't Wear Ankle Boots with Full, Long Skirts

 The proportion of an ankle boot with a mid-calf, full skirt is all wrong: ankle boots look best as part of a leggy look, either with short skirt, skinny jeans or leggings.

Do Wear Boots with Tights

One of the easiest ways to wear ankle boots is to pair black shoes with black tights (and a black dress if you really want to go monochromatic.) The look is flattering for most women and most cuts of ankle boots.

Don't Mistake Ankle Boots for Formal Wear

 While ankle boots and cocktail dresses may be cool and trendy, clunky ankle boots will never replace refined pumps or strappy sandals for black-tie events.

Do Go Bare-Legged

Even if your legs aren't tan, the overall look of bare legs and ankle boots is hard to beat.

Don't Wear Excessively Furry or Fringed Ankle Boots

Some pizazz on the ankle boot is fine; but bundles of fuzz that look like wild mammals are eating your feet are not so cute.

Do Tuck Skinny Jeans into Ankle Boots

Slim bottoms -- like skinny jeans and leggings -- are a natural for ankle boots. Just slip these tight-fitting bottoms into the top of ankle boots for a sleek look

Don't Wear Taller Ankle Boots with Longer Skirts

 In general, the taller the shaft of the ankle boot, the shorter the skirt should be. Wearing a knee-length skirt with a taller ankle boot visually shortens the leg and gives you a chopped-off look.

Do Wear Ankle Boots with Socks

Wearing ankle boots with socks is a practical idea (much less slippery than wearing with hose, less sweaty than wearing barefoot), but a peek of sock under a pair of slouchy casual ankle boots is cute.

Do Wear Low-Cut Ankle Boots

 Do wear a low-cut ankle boot with a dress to elongate your legs.
