When choosing ankle boots, you need to pay special attention to the heel. Wide heels are in great demand today.This is easy to explain, because in such shoes the legs will not get tired so quickly, which will allow you to maintain gracefulness and ease of gait. Be that as it may, the hairpin does not lose its popularity. True, in many cases we see a thin heel of small height.

What to wear with?
Ankle boots are shoes that define a clear line at the ankle. This is where the main problem lies. Because of this, visually, the legs seem to be shorter. Stylists advise to deal with this shortcoming and offer their own methods and solutions. They are about choosing the right clothes. The easiest way is for leggy girls. They can afford absolutely any model of ankle boots and combine it with anything.
Ankle boots should not be included in a casual look. It is very important to think over your style to the smallest detail.

Let's talk about what it is better to combine ankle boots with. There are several rules, using which you will always be on top. First of all, remember that these shoes cannot be worn with long and bulky clothing. Such an ensemble looks ridiculous, shortens the legs and makes the whole look heavier. Thus, the tandem of ankle boots and fur coats or long jackets are best avoided. Ankle boots look as good as possible with raincoats, coats or down jackets, up to mid-thigh length.

If you are planning to wear ankle boots, choose semi-fitted clothing. If we talk about pants, then classic pants are inappropriate here, models with arrows are especially contraindicated. Skinny jeans or leggings should be preferred. As for the skirts, in this case the choice is wider. You can afford a skirt of any cut, length and style. Ankle boots look especially good with a long skirt with a high slit.

Lace-up ankle boots are in perfect harmony with a retro-style wardrobe, which, by the way, is very popular this season. Lace-up sports ankle boots should not be worn with sportswear. Choose casual items for such shoes.
Owners of thin legs should not buy platform shoes. In this case, it is better to choose a stiletto heel or a thick heel.

It is not recommended to wear ankle boots with evening dresses. No matter how feminine and beautiful they are, they are not as graceful as, for example, shoes. Tall girls with long legs can safely combine ankle boots with socks or leggings. In case the legs are far from ideal, maxi skirts or trousers will come to the rescue.

Open-toed shoes look interesting with tight tights. For the most original and daring personalities, tights of a bright color will be an excellent solution. For an evening look, it is better to wear thin tights with any effects or embellishments. Lace leggings are an interesting option. Choose clothes that have a variety of draperies, frills and ruffles, asymmetry and uneven edges of the clothes.
