How to wear the ankle boot:
The ankle boot is great for women with long legs. For the rest of us, it can make our legs look shorter and hips look wider. But don’t despair, if worn in the right way, you can make this trend work for you:
1. Wear them nude. A nude shoe or boot lengthens your leg as it looks like an extension of your leg. Wear nude ankle boots with a short dress or skirt and flesh colour tights. This will create an illusion of longer, slimmer legs.
2. Wear the same colour boots and tights. One long block of colour lengthens. If you are wearing black ankle boots, then wear them with black tights to maintain the long line. This can work well with any neutral colour you choose.
3. Make a statement. If you have your eye on those gorgeous bright red boots, wear them with a short skirt or dress and tights in the same colour to give an illusion of length. That way your eye catching boots won’t shorten your look.
4. Paired with trousers: If you wear bootleg or wideleg trousers, the length of the boots won’t matter. If you opt to tuck skinny or straight leg trousers into ankle boots, select trousers and boots in a similar shade to create an illusion of length. A boot style with a heel will also make a big difference to the overall look.
