One of the best things about the Autumn/Winter season is definitely the cosy fashion, and a big staple during this period are ankle boots. A highly versatile item, the right boots can be paired with almost any outfit, but we are going to single in on one of the easiest ways you can style boots - with dresses.
Ankle boots + a dress = instant fall outfit that never fails.
The best ankle boots for dresses come in different shapes and styles, and it all depends on the look you’re going for.
There are infinite options when it comes to this iconic duo because there are so many different styles of dresses and boots, but we’ve broken them down into a few staple looks.
Make it a bit edgy
Another great choice is combining a feminine dress with a more masculine looking boot which adds a bit of edginess to the look. Things like lace-up combat-inspired styles, thick straps and chunky buckles or block heels can add great visual interest with flowy, floral dresses. The juxtaposing styles work well, creating a fun, carefree and relaxed look.
Get cosy
This is the ultimate autumn look, perfect for chilly days when all you want is to be comfortable and warm. This look works well for casual days, while you’re out running errands or grabbing coffee with a friend. Pair a cosy knit dress with tights or woolly socks and your favourite casual boots.
Elongate your figure
A great way to create the illusion of longer legs is to pair a mini dress or skirt with nude boots or tights that match the colour of your boots. This will elongate your silhouette. Avoid any horizontal straps cutting across the instep which can break up the line. Focus instead on simple, clean styles.
Add sophistication to a simple dress
You can easily elevate a simple outfit with the right pair of boots and a few accessories. Boots made from luxurious materials such as swede or premium leather can make your outfit look like a lot more effort went into it than it really has. You’ll want to pick a versatile boot made from quality materials with a timeless design like a classic block heeled boot or a Chelsea silhouette. Add a statement jewellery piece and a cosy cardigan, and you have a classic, put-together outfit perfect for more sophisticated or formal affairs.
