Ankle Boots (www.elysiancreativestudio.com/tag/fall)

An exciting and easy look this fall is booties, also known as ankle length boots. They are unique compared to the traditional tall boots. So lets dare to be different this season and try them out. Watch out for a variety of colors vastly approaching you in brown, beige, wine, black, grey and many more. Some come in pull on styles,  zip up, flats, heels, and wedges. Others have buckles for show in faux and real leather. You can find them in suede as well which should be protected with weather and water proof spray. Some have fringe and lace and even fur.

With Cuffed Jeans (getyourprettyon.com)

Skinny jeans are one of the best items to pair with your ankle boots.  They can help slim your ankles by rolling them up a little to highlight the skinny area above your feet. Another fun look with these boots is wearing them with your socks sticking out. Yes, it sounds funny but with cute socks that are a thinner material, you can make it look dainty and feminine. Therefore, you should avoid thick pants and jeans so your ankles don’t look bulky. Jeggings and leggings are best with this look. If you have bare legs, try a skirt above the knee to avoid your legs looking short. For color, try shorter, neutral colored socks to avoid drawing attention to them.

Tights and A-line Skirt (thefashionfoot.com)

A-line skirts are great with ankle boots because the fullness of the skirt tends to slim your feet and ankles. Wear a neutral pair of boots with a more fitted skirt to help elongate your legs as darker boots may make your outfit appear bottom heavy. Sometimes your boots might cover your whole ankle. In this case, try tights with the skirt. Wear your black boots with black tights, beige with beige, grey with grey, and the list goes on. However, if you want to wear a different color tight than your boots, this is ok too, it adds variety.

Try out this great style boot and ways to wear it, I’m sure you’ll love them just as much as this great Fall weather!

You want to make a good first impression when introducing yourself the place you want to work. In order to do so, you need to appear professional, neat, and clean.
