What should ankle boots be worn with

It also works great to tuck skinny jeans into booties with a higher shaft that have a wider opening like these booties above. And the same goes with faux leather leggings like in this look above! Because the leggings are tight to my leg, they look nice when tucked into a bootie — regardless of how high the shaft is.

I could be wrong in making this gross generalization, but I feel like wider leg jeans are just recently a thing like in the last few years.

And now I have a pair of mom jeans, boyfriend jeans, straight-leg jeans wider than skinny , AND some flared jeans too! I usually loathe mom jeans. The contrast of the wide leg and skinny bootie shaft makes for a great, flattering combo! And the leg is usually a looser fit — although not always.

My favorite way to style a straight-leg jean is with a tighter shaft bootie — regardless of the height of the shaft I like both. I prefer just one roll to make a cute cuff like in the look above. To be honest, these are the hardest to style with booties. The try-on experience for this style was truly an experiment! It looks best when you show ZERO ankle and when the bootie shaft is much skinnier than the flare of the jean — hope that makes sense! However, I will say that my favorite bootie to wear with dresses and skirts is a tall shaft with a pointed toe.

This elongates my legs and the entire look! With that said, rounded toes and shorter shafts also look great. So wear whatever makes you feel most comfortable! Usually the material and the shape and style are what make a boot look nicer. In my experience, I think a pointed-toe leather mid to high shaft bootie works best for work. But again, it truly depends on your work environment and the weather too!

I think booties look great with a wide-leg gaucho pant. Also, I think a pointed-toe bootie looks more flattering in this circumstance and dresses up the look for work. Maybe even more popular than the gaucho pant is your everyday skinny pixie pant. I used to wear my J. Shop the Look: White Ankle Boots.
