Can I Wear Red To A Wedding?
Chic Shoes To Wear In The Rain
Q. Ankle Boots are everywhere this Fall. I'm happy about this, since my calves are too dense for mid-shaft boots, but more importantly because I live in Florida, where Autumn is a stylish state of mind, and not much else. I have no idea how to actually WEAR the ubiquitous ankle boot. I know they can be paired with trousers to give the effect of wearing a full on boot--but what else? How do I pair an ankle boot with skirts or dresses? Most importantly: how does someone who isn't 5'10" and 115 lbs wear an ankle boot without making their legs look shorter/wider?
A. True, ankle boots, or booties, are everywhere this fall, worn with everything from skinny jeans to dresses and skirts. This doesn't mean it's a trend for everyone, however. Those with shapely calves may have a hard time wearing ankle boots with a skirt or dress since the boots tend to make even thin calves look a little thicker. If you're petite or have short legs, be aware that booties will chop inches off the length of your leg, though this can be compensated for with a high heel.
If you think you're ready to give ankle boots a try, here are some chic options:
1. Wear your ankle boots with skinny jeans
2. Wear them with dresses or skirts that hit just above the knee or higher, below the knee is harder to pull off. You can wear this look bare-legged or with opaque tights.
