Ankle boots are a boot style that sits at or slightly above the ankle.
Because the heights and styles of these boots vary, there is a right and
wrong way to wear them. Unlike taller boots or cowboy boots, you can
wear ankle boots with dresses, skirts, pants, tights and shorts. But you
need to pair them with the right lengths and colors when choosing your
outfit.
Ankle
boots with cropped leggings or shorter tights is a definite "don't"
for women who have shapely calves. Even women who are on the thin
side have to be careful as the combination seems to chop inches off
your height while adding bulk to your legs.
The
only pants that work well tucked into ankle boots are very tight
ones. Wide-legged pants tucked into short boots create a very
unflattering balloon effect.
