Street Chic: 10 Ways to wear ankle boots to elevate your style
These cutie booties can definitely hand you some serious style points, whether you plan on the “tough and grungy” look or the “sharp and slick” look.
Style Guide: How to wear ankle boots
Pair them with jeans – Ankle boots were certainly made for the tough girl look, so a fitted pair of ripped jeans or cropped trousers matched with a pair of black booties will take your edgy style up a notch. Need to snare even more attention? Pick out boots with unique patterns or ones lined and studded in silver for the ultimate OTT footwear. Don’t forget the leather jacket.
Pair them with a skirt – When the weather calls for something a little more comfortable than stifling denim jeans, a skirt will definitely deliver a more feminine twist while keeping you cool. No matter the length, ankle boots will look great with your skirt. If your boots have a high enough platform or heel, go for the maxi skirt.
Go monochromatic – For a look guaranteed to stand out, monochrome colours are all you need. Black skinny jeans cropped at the ankle, black leather ankle boots, a crisp white shirt, dark sunglasses… not only will this ensemble look incredibly put-together, it will also give you a fresh aesthetic that will never go out of style.
Play with unique designs – Gone are the days of block colour shoes. These days, it’s all about prints and embroidered patterns. From scrolling florals to coordinated colour schemes, keep your options open. Even the type of material could play a big part in elevating your look — try suede boots or perhaps even faux fur to keep things interesting.
