How to: Wear Ankle Boots

When I posted my 'Fall/Winter Boot Collection: Ankle Booties' video on my YouTube channel, I had many of you write me and ask how to 'wear' Ankle boots w/skinny jeans/pants, etc and how to pair them and also asked if I could give some examples!! Here's is the link to that video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoikYs-FAYw&feature=channel_video_title


Here is a quick lil rundown on How-to: 'Wear Ankle Boots'


Pick out your ankle boots. Darker colors will work best, and you can never go wrong with black. Slouchy, flat ankle boots with a round toe will create a cute, younger hipster look. Short cowboy styles with a pointier toe and a very low heel will create a more urban, sleek vibe. For a foxy fashionista look, go for pointy, high-heeled styles.


Pair your boots with the right skinny jeans. Do not choose jeans with a waistband that is so tight, your skin bulges over the top. (Go up a size if you have to.) A higher-waisted skinny jean can be very flattering.


Choose the right shirt. Skinny jeans and flat, slouchy boots look best with a tunic or a longer, billowy shirt.


For a more urban, edgy look, pair the sleek, cowboy-inspired ankle boots with modified vintage T-shirts and vests, short leather jackets or vintage-look blazers.


Stick with classic black, white, silver and gold if you're wearing high-heeled ankle boots. Think super-trendy, and look for belted tunics and off-the-shoulder tops/sweaters.




Here are a few 'Ankle Boot looks' that I love...Enjoy!!
