Ankle boots or “booties” are a great trend in fall. They are sturdy, keep feet warm, and look absolutely stylish. However, the question is how to wear booties – with what outfit, for what occasion, etc. Here is a guide on how to wear ankle boots.

Leggings Work Better Than Jeans

While it is possible to wear ankle boots with jeans, it can sometimes look unflattering and make your ankles look bigger than they are. Leggings, however, look great! And since leggings go well with so many tops – they make for the best fall outfit.

If you still want to work jeans with your boots rather than leggings, go for skinny jeans and try rolling them up to show a little bit of your skin over the line of the booties.

With Socks

This may be a difficult look to pull off but once done properly, it looks amazing, especially for winters. Wear a pair of leggings, select a neutral (gray or white) color of socks, and bunch them up slightly over your ankles above the booties. Once you know how to wear ankle boots with socks, you will never stop wearing them that way.

Tip: Oversized shirts go great with this look.

Dress + Booties = Awesome

Dresses worn without tights look great with ankle boots. This is perhaps the best part about booties – they work great with so many outfits!

With Pencil Skirts

Pencil skirts are amazing to pair with booties. Wear them with tights or without – it works!

The B & W Look

Black ankle boots, black leggings, and a black and white top – perfect! This makes one of the best looks for a day out in fall.

Shorts

Shorts make for a great casual or lunch date outfit and paired with some cute booties, they make your legs seem longer, and the ankle boots have no chance to make your ankles look chubby
