Ankle boots are the perfect thing to bring out this autumn. They are in fashion and are just the right thing for the changing weather as the sandals start to look less appealing. There are so many different types that can be worn in so many different ways it can be difficult to know where to start when choosing your style. Ones that just reach the ankle, or come a few inches above it, heeled, platform, or flat – there are so many materials and finishes that anything is possible. Here are a few styles that are hot this autumn.
Biker boots
These are for the rock chick in you. What is great about them is that as well as looking super good and sexy they are also warm and quite sturdy to wear.
Black or brown is the best colour to go for if you are after the biker look. You cannot have too many adornments on biker boots either. Buckles, zips and studs in a metal that contrasts with the colour of the rest of the shoe give the look that punky edge associated with biking.
Worn with jeans and a tight fitting leather jacket your look will be complete.
Versatile boots
You might be looking for a style which is a little more adaptable, something you can wear to work, out for drinks afterwards, or at the weekend.
Something which finishes just above the ankle is good for a versatile boot. They work well with trousers and most lengths of skirt.
Most collections of ladies boots will have something like this so they will not be hard to find. Pick a plain colour so you can easily match them with anything.
A low wedge will make you feel a little dressed up for an evening occasion but will still be comfortable enough to wear all day.
These boots do not have to be too plain however. Look out for those with simple embellishments, for example a tassel, that will add interest but not take over the look.
Smart and elegant
If you want to go for a completely different but more specific look, ankle boots still have yet more to offer.
Opt for a slightly higher heel and a dark colour to cultivate a sultry and mysterious allure. Something inspired by nineteenth century fashion is great for this. Materials like suede or velvet are luxurious and soft. Details like ruching and delicate buttons or a smattering of lace bring a stylish and feminine element in.
There are so many styles on offer for so many occasions and personalities that ankle boots are an unbeatable autumn wardrobe addition. Buckles, laces, zips or velcro – you will be able to easily find the right pair. Even stiletto boots are a lot of fun; as long as you are careful not to slip on the falling autumn leaves.
