Ankle Boots

With more coverage than heels, and less bulk than full boots, ankle boots are a fashionable footwear compromise. Ankle boots generally have a shank that hits around the ankle. Some can be a bit higher, some a bit lower, although not so low to be considered booties. Ankle boots are available in a variety of styles and materials to fit every style and every budget. This versatile footwear is a must-buy for anyone building a wardrobe.

Ankle boots are perfect for a variety of looks, from classic to casual, from dressed up to funky. There are only a few rules for ankle boots, since they go well with nearly anything in your wardrobe.

If you're tall, you can get away with ankle boots with pretty much anything. Long skirts that hit below the knee can look dowdy, try to show as much leg as possible. For pants, anything goes. If wearing slim leg pants, you can tuck the pant legs into the boots. If you try this with wide legged pants, the pants will balloon out and look odd.

If you're short, your options are a bit more limited. Skirts should be as short as possible, since ankle boots can appear to cut legs short, so show as much leg as you can. Also avoid cropped pants that leave a small gap between the hem and the boots, as this will have the same effect.
