7 TIPS ON HOW TO STYLE ANKLE BOOTIES LIKE A PRO Too warm for boots, too chilly for your favorite pair of sandals –it’s bootie season. And thankfully from traditional ankle booties to women’s wedge booties, there’s a one-shoe solution for every look and every season. Want to style your transitional wardrobe like a pro? Here’s a helpful guide dishing everything you need to know about pairing booties with your everyday wear. Determine the Right Height From flat, combat styles to platform wedges –there’s a bootie out there that can elevate you to any height. So how do you decide which is right for outfit of the day? Take it from the pros, and be modest with your heel height if comfort is a consideration. You may look fab in those 6” stiletto booties, but if you’re going to be limping by the end of the day, it’s just not worth it. A tip from the pros: “My trick is relatively easy: I stick to what I know works for my feet. Stilettos are a great look, but I have yet to find a pair I can comfortably wear for hours on end—so instead, I reach for mid-height chunky heels that fully support my feet. I leave the stilettos for date nights and other things that I know don't involve a lot of running around—and my feet thank me for it." — Meghan Blalock, Managing Editor of Who What Wear WWW.OTBTSHOES.COM | FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL @OTBTSHOES | OTBT FASHION FOOTWEAR GUIDE | 7 TIPS ON HOW TO STYLE ANKLE BOOTIES LIKE A PRO
Choose Open or Closed-toe Booties This tip is relatively simple: If it’s warm you can reach for open or closed-toe booties. If it’s cold, avoid showing your purpling piggies by keeping them under wraps. While open-toe booties provide a bit more coverage than your sandals, if your car is still icing over in the mornings – be patient. Bring them out when the daffodils are in bloom. Show a Little Skin For casual-cool, wear your booties showing a little skin – ankle skin that is. Cuff your jeans for casual-tailored style, or roll them for model off duty vibes. Baring anywhere from a quarter to a half-inch of angle is a good rule of thumb to bring the right amount of attention to your cute new shoes.

Try a Tuck A bit too cold to bare your ankles? Try a tuck. Tucking jeans or leggings into booties keeps you cold-weather appropriate. Just ensure that you’re wearing a skinny, fitted pant style to avoid unnecessary bulk. Stuffed denim kankles are so not in. Layer with Leggings Leggings were made for booties. They’re fitted, flattering, and more comfortable than even your favorite PJs. You can wear them tucked, cropped or layered with socks. For cooler days pair the look with a poncho or a layered jacket and tee. For warm days, try a loose tank or a lightweight shirt-dress for everyday-chic.
