The Versatility of Ankle Boots for Fall

In our opinion, one of the best things about fall is when we get to push those strappy sandals to the back of your closet and pull the boots forward! It’s not that we don’t love our summer footwear, but we have a major thing for boots.

Specifically, we love ankle boots for fall. The versatility of ankle boots is just exactly what we want in these chillier months. Whether thrown on with jeans or a dress and tights, they tend to always work and instantly add a ‘cool factor’ to any outfit.

Tips for Wearing Ankle Boots This Fall

When it comes to wearing ankle boots with denim, you can really wear them with most styles. From cuffed to rolled to an unfinished hem, to skinny leg and cropped flare, we really mean it when we say the ankle boot has quite the versatility factor.

Don’t just limit your ankle boot wearing to jeans, though, as you can (and should) absolutely pair them with skirts and dresses, as well. However, if you’re wearing a shorter skirt, either keep it more covered up on top and/or throw on opaque or textured tights.

Now, here’s another tip for you… A shorter, chunkier heeled, rounded toe ankle boot will keep your look on the more casual side. Think: Saturday morning brunch with girlfriends followed by running errands. With this type of heel, you’ll also be comfortable all day long.

If you’re heading out to a nice dinner or date night, opt for a pointed toe ankle boot with a skinnier heel. Indeed, this will dress up your look instantly.
