Light Colour Ankle Boots – Next Big Thing?
Ankle boots are practical, fashionable and they look so good too! But they didn’t actually become popular until the 1960s when they were more commonly referred to as go-go boots. Over the years they have become a staple part of everyone’s wardrobe and out of all the boot styles, ankle boots are the most favoured and these days look great with skinny jeans, casual trousers and so much more, just like Rachel Bilson and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley wear them.
Ankle Boot Styles
There are loads of styles around this season, and this includes the classic ankle boot with mid-heel, cowboy boot or shoe boot and then there’s the trendier jelly boots, trainer boots, wedges and light coloured Chelsea boots which seem to be the next big thing in the fashion stakes.
Materials are varied too. At one time you could only buy boots made from leather, suede or plastic but now you are spoilt for choice with additions such as PVC, metallics, animal prints and fabrics, some even embellished with studs, fur, leopard print, buckles, stylish buttons, laces, tassels and even glitter. Just have a look at the vast variety of trendy boots worn by celebrities:
