Women's Ankle Boots

How to Wear Women's Ankle Boots

Women's ankle boots are a wardrobe staple - whether heeled or flat, bright or black, these feisty little boots can be worn a thousand different ways. Women's Chelsea boots are a forever love, not only are they stylish and chic but they are also incredibly practical too. Aigle's women's ankle rain boots are designed in France and bring plenty of Parisian flair with them. Waterproof and with a lugged outsole yet not comprising that all-important feminine cut, these boots are at home strutting down Fifth Avenue or strolling across farm and field.

Features to Think About

There are different styles of ankle boots - from suede heels to polished leather or rubber rain boots, each will come with its own look and feel. There are a few things you may want to think about when picking your perfect boots.

Pointed or round toe

Some ankle boots may favor a pointed toe whereas others will be round. The pointed toe version of the boot will have a more feminine appeal and can look daintier when paired with dresses and skirts. The rounder toe has more edge and will look super cool in contrast with more feminine pieces while looking perfectly at home with street style designs.

Ankle height and width

Longer and narrower ankle boots will look sleeker and can be a good option for those looking to elongate their legs. This style of ankle boot may also work best when paired with skirts and dresses. A shorter ankle boot will work with jeans or cropped pants as it will sit at the right spot.

Heel height and width

A chunky low heel, a pointy feminine heel, or no heel at all - you can pick the kind of boot style that works for you. A flat ankle boot may work out to be a more versatile shoe to invest in as you can wear it with just about anything in your wardrobe. A low chunky heel can also be a good look for those who want to add a little height without feeling precariously perched. Stiletto type heels can be feminine but aren't a practical or comfortable choice.

Boot material

Brown suede boots are an iconic look when paired with floaty floral dresses or pale blue skinny jeans. However, suede isn't a waterproof material so may be best saved for those sweet summer months. Leather is also a popular choice for ankle boots although make sure you choose treated leather if you want to keep them dry and damage-free. Rubber is one of the best materials for ankle boots as they will be all weather-proof, keeping your feet cosy and dry.

What to Wear with Ankle Boots

Dress them up or calm them down, there are a thousand ways to wear your ankle boots. Dresses, skirts, pants, jeans, and just about anything in your wardrobe will all work with your boots. You can keep it casual or even dress them up in sleek sophisticated style as long as you have the right ensemble. Flat boots are the best choice for casual and cool outfits, although a chunky heel will also work well. Look for a boot in black or brown to get the most versatile options for pairing with your wardrobe. Here are some ideas on how to wear your ankle boots with just about anything...

Jeans and a Shirt

Ankle boots and slim-cut jeans are always a good look. You can even opt for jeans that are cropped or have a shorter hem to leave a little skin on show between your boot and the cuff. If you have full-length jeans then tuck them into your boot to keep that streamlined silhouette. Pair with a casual button shirt for a loose lightweight look or go for a slant of sophistication by tucking in a tight-fitting tee and pairing with a chic blazer or even an oversized blazer for a slightly edgier look.

Cropped Trousers

Your ankle boots will ooze pure style when you match them with cropped pants. A cropped pant pairing may call for a less rugged style boot to keep it sleek. You can pair these styles of pants with a matching blazer in pastel shades for a savvy spring look or you can opt for the all-white look with white cropped pants and a white blazer or jacket which will beautifully contrast against a darker black boot.

Short Dresses

If the season allows, wearing your ankle rain boots with a short dress is a sassy move. You can also change out this outfit in so many ways. You can choose a pretty floral print in a flared hem style that will contrast beautifully with a pair of rugged heavier style rain boots.

Longer Dresses

You can also sass it up with a clingier bodycon dress that shows off your silhouette and contrasts with the edgier boot. Longer dresses also look good with ankle boots and especially midi style dresses that also show some skin and bring balance to your outfit.
