Style Theory: Capsule Collection = The Black Ankle Boot. A wardrobe basic, fabulously versatile, can be worn with skinny jeans, trousers or dresses. They look great worn with black opaques, patterned tights or brave it with bare legs.
 |
A year on year staple but each Autumn/Winter there are small changes which make the black ankle boot somewhat hard to keep up with. Styles now veer towards the 90s style of boot, with a chunkier heel and a rounded toe. However, I still seem to be drawn to the slightly more Western cowboy style of boot which, with a few tweaks, keeps rolling on year after year.
Here are some fabulous ideas of how to style The Black Ankle Boot:
 |
| Wear with last summer's ripped, boyfriend jeans. |
 |
| Love the wedge black boots with this season's must have leather trousers. |
 |
| Layer up your winter clothes and finish with opaques and black boots. |
 |
| Ankle boots and jeans look great with a boyfriend coat |
 |
| I adore the heel of these boots they look fab with dresses. |
 |
| Just a gorgeous look, love the boots and coloured fur coat, a style statement, so 2013! |
 |
| These boots work so well with the flippy skirt and check jacket, the proportions of this outfit are perfect. |
 |
| Dare to bare your legs. |
 |
| Toughen up a dress with a pair of high heeled boots. |
- A boot with a dipped front will be far more flattering on your legs when wearing a dress/skirt or with skinny jeans.
- Wear a heel, even just a small one the added height will flatter your legs when wearing them with skinny jeans, skirts or dresses.
- A gap at the the top of the boot around your leg will make your legs look thinner.
- Shoeboots are a flattering alternative to ankle boots.
