6 Ways to Wear Booties
Booties are everyone’s favorite fall boot. Cute, versatile, stylish, and the perfect seasonal shoe, booties can be worn by anyone and everyone. With just enough post-summer coverage for crisper weather and not as solid as a snow boot, booties are an ideal choice for your autumn wardrobe. Whether they’re heeled or flat, leather or suede, black or brown, pointed toe or curved toe, ankle booties are the perfect style statement for the season.
Such a variety of ankle boots in terms of style, design, color, and material exists; certainly, you can easily find the ones that are best for you. Moreover, you can style ankle boots in so many ways that we honestly don’t know where to begin. Chances are, ankle boots will always look great with whatever you’re wearing. That being said, here’s a list of our favorite ways to style booties.
With a Dress
Booties do wonders for a dress and add a certain rugged and sassy dimension to whatever dress you’re wearing. They’re perfect to wear with a sweater dress on those cooler fall days and ideal for dressing up a comfy lounge dress to wear out. A pair of suede or leather booties are the perfect way to make your favorite summer dress fall-friendly. Wear with a cardigan or leather jacket to bring the whole look together. When worn with a dress, whether a mini, midi, or maxi, a pair of ankle booties add length and style to your look.
With Skinny Jeans
We are firm believers that ankle booties and skinny jeans were made for each other. While skinny jeans do all the work to accentuate your silhouette and cinch the ankles, ankle booties draw attention to the shaped ankle by adding a contrasting and balancing weight on the bottom of your look. Whether you wear your skinny jeans, so the hem is just above the boot or tucked into the boot, it doesn’t much matter as both look amazing. This could be a perfect outfit for the office. Wear a pair of black skinny jeans with a pair of black ankle booties, and a white tucked-in blouse, and a tailored blazer for that classic and seamless professional look.
With a Skirt
Booties are a great way to add dimension, personality, and flair to a skirt. We especially love the look of a high-waisted midi skirt styled with a crop top and ankle booties for a cool and classic fall look. Wear with a denim jacket, and you’ve got yourself a stellar outfit. The midi skirt is a great choice because it offers the extra length while also leaving enough room to show off your boots. Ankle booties also look great worn with either a maxi skirt or miniskirt. Booties worn with a maxi skirt give you a little extra length, whereas booties worn with a miniskirt can make your legs look a little longer and also break up the outfit, so it’s more appealing to the eye.
With a Trench
Trenches are in. We love not only a classic trench coat but also the look of all these new designs and ways to style it. Turn this timeless coat into a fashion statement by wearing it as an outfit all on its own. Wear cinched at the waist over something neutral and with ankle booties to truly make a style statement that is comfortable, chic, versatile, and perfect for fall. The cut of the booties paired with the cut of the trench will show just enough leg to make your outfit more interesting while also sticking to an old-school look that has never dropped out of fashion. Add in a fashion or silk scarf around the neck for the perfect 1950s movie star throwback.
With Leggings
Leggings make everything better, and booties make leggings better. You can quite literally make a stylish and versatile outfit with leggings complete by simply adding in a pair of stylish boots. Ankle booties aren’t as full-on as knee-length boots but are classier and dressier than your sneakers. With a leggings-and-booties partnership, the sky is the limit for how you can style your outfit. If you’ve been lounging around the house in your comfy leggings and favorite oversized knit, but you need to head out to run some errands or meet a friend for coffee and don’t want to change, no worries! Simply slip on a pair of ankle booties to instantly transform your loungewear into streetwear. Leggings and booties also look great worn with a tunic top, a long knit cardigan, or a longer tank-top and flannel shirt for a classic, laid-back yet chic look.
With Shorts
If you’re not quite ready for summer to end but still want to look good for fall, then ankle booties are once again the answer. Continue to wear your favorite summer shorts and T-shirt into the fall by styling them with a pair of ankle booties and a casual jacket. We love contrasting looks, so explore wearing summer shorts and booties with other fall pieces such as a sweater, a long-sleeved blouse, or a leather jacket for a stylish and seasonal look.
Ankle booties are an answer for almost any outfit and can take your look from basic to the next level. Be sure you have a selection of ankle booties in your wardrobe to bring your autumn wardrobe into full gear.
