Ankle boots are actual women's shoes for the offseason, when you already want to take off your warm stuffy boots, and it’s still too cold to flaunt shoes. Every year, designers offer more and more new models that differ in colors, decor and, of course, materials. Patent leather is not in vain considered the most popular for ankle boots materials, because it is not as whimsical as suede, and looks more spectacular than ordinary matte leather.
Heel
Lacquered ankle boots are most often found on heels, and the variety of models is so great that anyone can choose the right pair. Stilettos are one of the most popular models, as they look elegant and light. Low and medium height is best suited for everyday business or work, but for the evening you can choose shoes with heels reaching ten or more centimeters.
Ankle boots will be an ideal choice for those who prefer a steady thick heel. It can be rectangular, square or barrel-shaped. Most often, a high heel is combined with a platform, so the rise in ankle boots may not be very large. A thick heel looks less elegant than a hairpin, but it allows you to create trendy and daring casual looks. Tractor-soled shoes, that is, embossed, are in fashion this season.
Recently, there are more and more daredevils who buy ankle boots with non-standard heels. They can acquire the most intricate forms, be beautifully decorated, stand out in texture. This type includes curved and curved, spherical, transparent, as well as heels that start below the heel.
And yet, thanks to the great competition of various companies, many designers are leaning towards non-standard solutions.Therefore, you can find models with different types of soles. Wedge heels are a fairly popular type of sole that looks sleeker than the platform, but much more stable than the heel. They usually make it high enough to add a few centimeters in height and visually lengthen the legs. Wedge ankle boots sometimes give a slightly sporty look.
Models
Despite the large difference in models, we can say that there are two of the most common types of ankle boots. In one case, these are shoes with rectangular toes and straight heels, in the other with round toes and curved heels.
Of course, there are other options, for example, narrowed toes, massive heels, which are larger than the upper part. The choice is very large, therefore, in addition to the classic modest ankle boots, you can find casual, youthful, and sometimes even extravagant ones.
Ankle boots are considered ideal shoes for the offseason, but on warmer days you can afford models with an open toe and sometimes a heel. There are winter options, they are especially practical for those who have their own car. These are oversized insulated models, often with fur lapels and inserts. Moreover, if inside it is most likely a sheepskin, then outside the shoes are decorated with rabbit, arctic fox or squirrel fur.
In the trends of this season, a steady thick heel, geometric and animal prints, as well as a combination of several types of materials. In this way, you can find a large number of ankle boots where matte leather or suede inserts are adjacent to patent leather. Massive jewelry in the form of straps and buckles is in fashion, however, lacquered shoes are self-sufficient in this regard and large decorative elements are not often found on it.
One of the most basic adornments is lacing, which also carries practical meaning, as it keeps shoes on their feet. Some oversized ankle boots may have zippers.
Patent leather is attractive and elegant, and if rich decor on such shoes is not found, then the color variety has not been canceled. Thus, several types of colors can be distinguished. The basic ones are suitable for office, business events and the dirty season, because they include black, gray, dark blue, brown, as well as white and beige. The second set of palettes is more vivid, mood-wise, but not suitable for all clothes. The most popular colors are red, green, blue, their shades, but depending on the season, leaders may be completely different, for example, pink or purple.
What to wear?
Lacquered ankle boots, due to their attractive shine, become an active element of the image, therefore, when compiling onions with them, care should be taken.
In order not to overdo it with variegation, it is best to give preference to laconic outfits, and there should not be other varnish elements besides a belt or watches. It concerns even such an accessory as a handbag. It is better to choose a matte or suede model, but varnished inserts may be present on it.
With ankle boots you can wear both jeans and trousers, as well as leggings or jeggings. Among jeans, boyfriends, skinny and classic straight models will look best. Pants should be preferred a bit informal, tight, but not strict with arrows. It is not necessary to fill the leg in ankle boots, even if they are slightly overpriced. It is best to tuck or leave as is, outside.
Patent shoes require a certain grace, even if we are talking about a casual look with a T-shirt. It is preferable to choose plain and tight, sometimes a little formal, for example, shirts and blouses, things.
The compiled image should largely depend on the appearance of the ankle boots:
- Accurate models on a hairpin will approach elegant dresses, sheath dresses, pencil skirts.
- Tractor outsole and platform are suitable for more casual, for example, knitted dresses and denim or flared skirts.
- With ankle boots, it is recommended to combine short and medium length products, that is, up to the knee.
- Since we are talking about the cool season, we should not forget about tights - kapron or tightened.
As for outerwear, its choice depends on the style of shoes. Almost all without exception, ankle boots will fit a coat, but besides them, you should look at leather jackets and jackets.
