Getting Kneedy

Let’s start with a classic: the Knee-High Boot. While it’s not exactly an “ankle-boot,” the Knee-high is an enduring classic that’s often confused with other styles, so it’s worth covering.

A pair of knee-high boots are perfect for balancing out wider hips and thighs and are ideal for those that want to wear skirts and dresses during the colder months of the year. It’s also suitable for tucking skinny jeans into when you need some extra warmth during the snowy season.

Of course, it doesn’t come without limitations; knee-high boots are most flattering when the finish hits just under the kneecap. Finishing any lower, such as on the calf, should be avoided.

Riding Out

The “Riding Boot” version of the ankle boot is ideal for women on the go with a simple style that is always comfortable and on-trend. The riding boot is often flat or features a wedge under the heel for added style and height, making it perfect for average height and taller wearers.

The riding boot style is fantastic for just about any season but thrives especially during the autumn and winter months. Wear this boot with both skinny and slim-leg jeans and oversized knits for a cozy outfit that oozes a casual fashion sense.

Modern Comfort

With a finish that goes slightly higher up the leg, the modern ankle boot is a slightly heavier style that’s more suited to the winter season than the rest of the year. As a result, the style can be a little trickier to pull off; if you have heavy calves or thick ankles, then these are probably worth avoiding.

Beyond those limitations, the modern ankle boot quickly becomes incredible for wearers with longer legs and can be worn by taller wearers with astonishing ease. Pair these with a draped cardigan or a boho-style skirt for an injection of effortless style.
