Winter ankle boots

Modern women in the cold season increasingly prefer to wear ankle boots. This stylish shoe, which is a cross between shoes and ankle boots, has a special property to go with any clothing, especially trendy ones.

Any ankle boots, including winter ones, differ in their sole. It can be a heel or a wedge heel. As for the heel, here any fashionista will find an option to her taste: a thick, stable, graceful stiletto heel. A hairpin is, of course, an option for special occasions, for everyday wear in winter it is inconvenient. For every day, it is better to choose ankle boots with thick heels, which are in fashion today. This is especially true if you are short. The heel height also varies: from high to very small. Incidentally, the height of the heel largely determines the type of fur for finishing ankle boots.

Winter wedge shoes look original. It provides ice resistance. In addition, this variant of the sole also determines the stylistic direction of the image. The wedge is more or less massive, which allows you to correct the female silhouette, make it visually more slender. Therefore, wedge ankle boots are distinguished by a wide or narrow sole, very high with a massive toe, or absolutely flat. The latter option is suitable for tall girls, you should not only choose too thin a sole - in this case, the legs will freeze.

Stylish ankle boots for winter are presented today by a large assortment of models with various designs of the upper part.

The main feature of winter ankle boots is the presence of fur. In expensive models, it is usually natural (warmer and more durable than artificial). Often two types of fur are combined in one pair of shoes: for example, ankle boots are trimmed with a chic silver fox on top, and inside they are insulated with a smooth warm sheepskin. Moreover, for the decorative finishing of the top of winter shoes, not only fluffy fur is used, but also tsigeyka.

Winter versions of ankle boots differ in the height of the bootleg. In the classic form, it covers the ankle. Practical women of fashion, on the other hand, choose products with a longer bootleg - so there is less chance that snow will get inside, wetting their feet.

An interesting and comfortable solution - transforming ankle boots with a lapel, which is fixed with a zipper or lacing. They are universal: if you turn off the top of the shoe, you get short boots, the second option is boots.

Speaking about the latest fashion trends in the world of footwear, we note ankle boots with contrasting (in color or material) side inserts. Also in the trend are products with a narrow nose, harmoniously complemented by lacing or graceful straps.

As you know, frills and ruffles are decorative trimming of clothes, but today many designers experiment and decorate shoes in the same way. Romantic ruffles on ankle boots look no less harmonious than on feminine dresses and skirts.

Lacing is also very popular. Moreover, it can carry a functional load (for example, regulate the volume of the bootleg) or act as a decoration. Often lacing on ankle boots is accompanied by other elements, such as bows, tassels, floral appliqués and straps.

Some designer models of ankle boots lack decorative details, but this is offset by original cut lines.

Of course, the most practical and aesthetic material for the production of ankle boots for winter is genuine leather. She perfectly tolerates frost, does not crack, does not get wet during the thaw period.

More budget options are leatherette ankle boots. They are not so hard and durable, do not provide the required level of air exchange. For this reason, it is not recommended to wear such shoes all day.

Suede ankle boots always look smart and elegant. However, this material is quite capricious: it does not tolerate moisture, and requires special care. Such products are usually worn on special occasions.

An interesting solution - nubuck ankle boots (specially treated leather), quite durable and breathable. Often nubuck is impregnated with oils for moisture resistance. They will be appropriate both for everyday wear and for a festive situation. By observing some care recommendations, you will be able to provide these shoes with their original look for a long time.

The color palette of ankle boots is generally traditional. Black and brown shades are more practical for winter. Today, shoes of gray, steel and burgundy shades are also in fashion. Moreover, less catchy colors allow the maximum presence of decorative elements (buckles, engraving, inserts of a different texture).

As for the fur trim, it can match the color of the skin or contrast with it. Winter ankle boots with white fluffy trim are always adorable, but be prepared that every speck is noticeable on it.

Extravagant fashionistas will surely pay attention to options with a print, including leopard or imitating reptile skin. And glamorous young ladies will be crazy about pink ankle boots or delicate floral patterns, however, there are also lovers of green and purple.

Choosing stylish ankle boots for the winter, first of all, carefully examine the material and shape of the sole. Since our climate is quite capricious, it is better to give preference to slip-resistant models.

Also, analyze your body shape before buying. Almost any model is suitable for tall young ladies with ideal shapes. If there are imperfections in the figure, correctly selected ankle boots will help to hide them. So, short young ladies need to wear wedge-heeled shoes or stable high heels.

If you have full calves, skip ankle boots with lush fur trim with a long pile - it visually shortens the legs. Such a model will not suit young ladies with too thin legs - there will be a "pencil in a glass" effect. A wide boot is also contraindicated for thin-legged women of fashion.

When choosing ankle boots, be guided by your main clothing style. For lovers of jeans, it is rational to purchase a sports model, for example, on a wedge heel with a wide fur trim or flat shoes. Lace-up ankle boots will also harmoniously fit here. Glamorous, emphatically feminine young ladies will choose options with graceful heels, fluffy fur and all sorts of decorative details (chains, rhinestones, etc.)

The choice of an outfit for a combination with winter ankle boots is determined, first of all, by the style of the shoe, as well as the type of its finishing. For example, a model with fur cuffs is worn under tight insulated trousers or leggings. Moreover, if your legs are not very long, then trousers and ankle boots should be of the same tone.

Ankle boots with fur trim can also be worn with dresses or skirts, in this case, you should choose short clothes and be sure to complement the ensemble with dense tights to match the tone of the shoes (however, if the ankle boots are light, this condition is not required).

From outerwear with winter ankle boots, short jackets and coats, sheepskin coats and fashionable fur vests look great. Models of medium length are also allowed, but only a woman of fashion with ideal parameters can afford a coat or a fur coat on the floor under ankle boots.

Also, do not forget about the combination of textures. So, if the ankle boots are trimmed with a cigar, then a polar fox fur coat with them will look ridiculous. In this regard, footwear without edging is universal.

The color of ankle boots can overlap with outerwear, but you can also be guided by the principle of contrast. For example, a discreet jacket is perfectly combined with shoes of bright colors, the color of which is supported by accessories (hat, scarf or mittens), and vice versa.

• Red ankle boots with a wide cuff made of warm sheepskin match in color with a handbag and buttons of outerwear. The coat of a beautiful blue shade, flared from the waist (and it is very successfully combined with red), has original "flashlight" sleeves. This youthful ensemble is complemented by a voluminous fur hat and black tights.

• A cropped coat made of natural light fur is combined with narrow black trousers and a beautiful gray sweater with large braids (note the large earrings to match the sweater). A versatile black heeled ankle boot with a wide toe cap is a stylish addition to this ensemble.
