Short boots or ankle boots are like the greatest invention ever!
They are cute, they are comfy and they go with practically everything in your closet; literally.
You can wear them with jeans, skirts, dresses, rompers and shorts.
Ankle booties can work for both casual occasions and formal occasions; isn’t that totally crazy?
This is why they are so popular and everyone just loves them a little too much.
There are so many different styles of short boots out there which includes heel, flat, laced, buckled, wedges, peep toe and the list just goes on and on.
Since they are so popular, you obviously need to know how to wear and style them.
To make your life easier, we decided to put together a little guide that will give you some tips, ideas and inspiration.
Let’s go ahead and get started on that:
How to Wear Short Boots with Jeans
Ankle booties are most commonly worn with jeans. So, let’s discuss the many ways you can style them.
Rolled or Cuffed Hem
Rolled or cuffed jeans look amazing with ankle booties because you get a chance to show a little bit of your ankle.
This style works best with skinny jeans, but some women can also pull it off with boyfriend jeans.
The trick to it is that your jeans should be rolled up enough that your shoes are completely visible; as in don’t try to tuck the jeans inside.
Inward Folded Hem
If your jeans are too long and you want to do something other than cuffing the hem, than you might consider folding the hem inwards.
This way the cuff would not be visible at all!
This style works best with skinny jeans.
To get the perfect look, roll the hem inwards before putting on your jeans and iron the cuff so that it stays flat all day long.
Ripped Hem
This is basically the hottest way to wear jeans and short boots right now.
You can find jeans that are ripped from the hem at stores, but they sure are super expensive.
So, why not DIY them yourselves?
Use a marker to outline where you want to cut your jeans and then use a sharp knife to make that happen.
Now, just use a pair of tweezers to pull along the freshly cut hem and give your jeans that laid back and distressed look.
Tips for Wearing Different Style Booties
We already mentioned that booties come in a million different styles.
Each style speaks something different, which is why you can’t wear all your short boots exactly the same way.
You might be feeling a tiny bit confused, but don’t worry because we are going to explain everything in just a second.
High Block Heel
If your booties have a heel that is 3-inch thick, then they fall in this category.
These short boots have a dressier appeal to them, which is why they would be suitable to wear on occasions when you want to have a more put-together.
You can wear them with jeans, dresses and skirts.
Low Block Heel
These short boots basically have a very low heel and therefore are perfect for an everyday look.
These work best with double rolled jeans, swing dresses and skirts.
Oh and they are super versatile!
Stiletto Heel
Stiletto or pointed heels just scream dressy!
They are best suited to be worn at night time; whether you are heading to a date night or at a club with your friends.
These short booties will instantly give you that dressed up vibe, which means that you won’t have to put too much effort into your outfit!
No Heel
Short boots that are flat or have no heel look best to achieve a very casual and laid back look.
They look best paired with swing dresses or shorts.
These boots have that boho chic vibe to them and are therefore super cute.
