Two of the trendiest must have pieces in your wardrobe--the ankle boot and the skinny jean--can never be worn together, right? BEEP! Think again.
While it's true that some ankle boots don't offer more coverage than, well, the ankle, and a lot of skinny jeans are just that--skinny, pairing these two fashions is not only possible, but it may be easier than you think.
Basically, there are two options with deciding how they go together best for you, those being to wear the boots over the jeans or the jeans over the boots. While it really all comes down to what you prefer, the ankle-y-ness of the ankle boots and the skinniness of the skinny jeans, here are some tips to help you put two and two together.
Own It
As we know, things that look accidental are perceived to be just that, whether or not they were intended. When trying a new look, including this one, make it look like you mean for your clothes to look a certain way by actually meaning it. You can easily achieve this by knowing whether you want your jeans tucked into your boots, in which case you will want there to be enough room for them, or your boots under your jeans, which means your boots and jeans must both be long enough to overlap. If your jeans are too short or your naked calves or ankles keep showing...which will look like you didn't really try.
Do Your Homework
If you can, buy your clothes from retailers where you can try them on. If you order online, make sure you measure yourself and read the product descriptions, or even call the company hotline to ask questions about what you want to order. Since both skinny jeans and ankle boots are so in style right now, you can even look through a catalogue to see if any models are sporting both at the same time.
Balancing Act
Skinny jeans are extremely form fitting, so when you choose your ankle boots, take notice of how tight or relaxed their fit is. You can continue a dark, form fit leg with a similarly coloured, equally form fitting boot. Or, for some contrast, try a more casual ankle boot made from a lighter or softer material that is less form fitting... And don't forget what goes on top! The contrast can also be found in the shirt you wear. Floaty tunics can add the contrast to your look, bright colours on a light wash are casually cheerful, and a lengthening dark, form fitting top on a dark wash adds flattery and continuity to a dangerous-beauty flare.
