How to Wear Ankle Boots With Dresses This Fall
Ankle boots and dresses are an easy combination for fall. Whether you're getting dressed for a casual weekend or planning an evening out, the right pairing helps you build an outfit around pieces you already own. Start with the dress length, then choose the boot shape and color.
Start with the dress length
Mini dresses leave room to show off your ankle boots. Try the Sleeveless Pleated Mini Dress with black tights, the black Pointed Toe Leather Ankle Boots, and a structured jacket from your wardrobe.
Midi dresses work well with ankle boots that sit close to the ankle. Pair the Lace-Up Midi Shirt Dress with the Chunky Heel Ankle Boots, and pay attention to the space between the hem and the top of the boot to keep the silhouette balanced.
Longer dresses can also work with ankle boots, especially when the dress has a split or enough movement to show the shoes as you walk. Try the Turtleneck Split Sweater Dress with brown Split Leather Boots.
Choose a color combination
Black ankle boots are versatile with neutral dresses. Brown boots pair naturally with cream, tan, olive, and other fall colors. For a coordinated look, repeat your boot color in a handbag or accessory.
Dress for the occasion
For daytime, try flat or low-heel ankle boots with a relaxed dress. For dinner, consider a heeled ankle boot with a midi dress and a small shoulder bag.
Finish with accessories
A crossbody bag keeps the outfit practical for daytime. For evenings, switch to a compact handbag and add simple jewelry.
