When the days are long and warm in the middle of summer, you may not be paying a lot of attention to what kind of footwear you might want to wear once the days start drawing in and the temperature drops, but often, surprisingly enough, summer is the best time to go shopping for womens winter boots.

Why is that? Because summertime is when you can get the best bargains on winter clothing, especially if you shop online or order from catalogues. Although taking a trip down the high street to find warm winter boots in the middle of summer is likely to prove fairly fruitless because most of the shops will not have any winter stock in at that time, online it is a completely different story. There are countless Internet merchandisers who will stock womens winter boots the whole year round, and buying in summer is likely to get you a good discount.

Catalogues are also great places to shop for winter boots in the middle of summer. If you subscribe to a clothing catalogue, then the edition featuring winter clothes usually comes out towards the end of the summer. Unlike Internet retailers, you probably won’t get any discounts from the catalogue companies, but the choice of boots will most likely be fantastic. Often the catalogues are right up to date with the latest fashions, so if there is a particular style of ankle boot you have seen on the catwalk for example, you can probably find something fairly similar in some of the more trendy catalogues.

So in conclusion, if you need a nice new pair of warm and stylish womens winter boots to go with the outfits you plan on wearing this winter, don’t wait for the temperature to drop before you go shopping. Get yourself online and start looking for a bargain, or as soon as that catalogue comes through the door, place your order before stocks disappear!

The ankle boot is one of the most versatile types of footwear you can buy these days. There are so many styles to choose from, to go with almost any outfit.

One of the nicest things about the ankle boot is that because it is so flexible, it can work really well in all seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter.

So let’s take a look at summer and winter in particular, to see what kind of ankle boots can work with light summer outfits and which ones go well with your big winter woollies!

Ankle Boots for Summer

If you’ve got some cash to spend, how about a nice pair of Jimmy Choo ankle boots for the summer? There is a reason why Jimmy Choo footwear is so expensive and that is because they are excellent quality, well-designed using the best materials. So a light pair of open-toed Jimmy Choo ankle boots for example will keep your feet nice and cool while still looking incredibly stylish.

Another good option in the summer is a pair of ankle strap gladiator sandals. While these are not strictly ankle boots, they do strap up to your ankles, so we’ll include them here. These sandals not only look cool but keep your feet cool too, and go with all sorts of summer outfits. Juicy Couture do a great range of ankle strap gladiator sandals, which you can find at various retail and on-line outlets.

Alternatively, you can go for a pair of ankle-strap espadrilles, which are another great option for summer and can look completely fabulous with the right outfit.

Ankle Boots for Winter

At the other end of the temperature scale, when the winter months start drawing in, you will want boots that will keep your feet nice and warm while still looking stylish and setting off your winter outfits.

Again, there are many to choose from. Sorel for example do a great range of fur-lined ankle boots that are incredibly comfortable and come in a wide variety of designs, materials and colors.

Then there’s the Steve Madden Bitterr Ankle Boot. This is a very versatile boot that can look fantastic with a pair of tight jeans and a wool sweater for example.

So as you can see, ankle boots are great in both summer and winter. There are so many styles and price ranges to choose from that you will never be stuck for choice when looking for the right ankle boot.

Happy shopping!

You know an item of clothing is hot when you see all your favourite celebs wearing it. And recently we’ve seen a whole slew of celebrities in ankle boots. They’re wearing them with skinny jeans, with mini skirts, with baggy pants, with hippy dresses.

That’s the great thing about the ankle boot. You really can wear it with pretty much any outfit. We’ve seen Lindsay Lohan wearing a hot red pair with black leather pants, we’ve seen J-Lo in her Yves St Laurent ankle boots with five and a half inch heels setting off an otherwise simple outfit, we’ve seen it all and it’s all good!

So what kind of outfit should you wear with your your ankle boots if you want to look like your favourite red carpet star? Well, that’s totally up to you, but the key thing is not to be too tame or reserved. Be adventurous! Put an outfit together that you wouldn’t normally wear, go on, be daring!

For a cool summer look, wear the boots with a light, floaty short dress (but not too short, you want to look stylish, not tarty). For the dress, you want something a little vintage to give you that “boho chic” look that all the celebs seem to pull off so effortlessly. Just think how well it works for Sienna Miller and you’ll be on the right track.

Or for something more sleek, a la Gwyneth Paltrow, try a little black number. This only works if you have the figure for it, but if you can pull it off, more power to you!

We recently spied Rihanna in a pair of open-toed lace-up ankle boots accompanying a tight-fitting floral print dress that looked fab, so that’s a look you could go for.

If skinny jeans and ankle boots is more your thing, take a leaf out of Hillary Duff’s book, she looks great with a loose top and bright scarf accompanying her skinny blue jeans and patent leather black ankle boots. Or if you’re after a more grungy, punky look, how about following Peaches Geldof’s example and wearing your boots with ripped jeans ripped with a baggy t-shirt?

You can get some great ideas for how to wear ankle boots by just watching what the trend-setting stars do, then making that look your own.

So what are you waiting for? Go dress up!

If there is one item of clothing that works really well with pretty much any style of ankle boot, it is a pair of skinny jeans. Although ankle boots were originally popular in the 1980’s, there has been a big resurgence in sales recently, and it that is due in large part to the fact that they look so good with skinny jeans. It’s like they were made for each other!

One of the nice things about ankle boots of course is that they can be worn all year round, with so many different outfits. But it is when the days and nights start getting colder as autumn and winter draw in that ankle boots and skinny jeans really come into their own, especially when worn with a wool or cashmere sweater. It’s a great look, as well as being nice and warm!

There has definitely been a big growth in the public’s appetite for ankle boots over the last couple of years. As sales have rocketed, the number of styles available has also rapidly expanded, so you can now find a pair to match any outfit, which means you should have no trouble finding something to go with you favorite skinny jeans.

So why has there been such a resurgence in the ankle boot since skinny jeans came along? Maybe its because of the fact that previously, boots were generally worn underneath the trousers, so you didn’t get to see them so much. Now however, the trend is to wear the boots over the jeans, so they are on display much more. Which means there has been an explosion in the number of styles, colors, materials and designs available. Make the most of it!

All the designers are now jumping on the ankle boot bandwagon. Some of the best designs are coming from the likes of Michael Antonio, Steve Madden, Yves Saint Laurent and Kurt Geiger. In fact, even Jimmy Choo and Manolo Blahnik are jumping in on the act (although any boots from these top designers will set you back a pretty penny or two!)

So lets take a look at what you can do in terms of your whole outfit. You’ve got yourself a good selection of ankle boots, you’ve got some designer-label skinny jeans, now you need to decide what to wear on top. Well, as mentioned previously, in the winter months a lovely soft cashmere jumper can go really well. Otherwise you could wear a big baggy t-shirt with a bold design and a few accessories like big bangles or a chunky necklace. A black leather jacket would really complement this look, especially if you are wearing black leather ankle boots. The key thing is to find balance. Ankle boots can look quite chunky around your feet when you wear skinny jeans, so it’s important to wear something bigger up top too, to balance things out.

Whatever you decide to wear to accompany them, skinny jeans and ankle boots really are a match made in heaven, so what are you waiting for? Go put some on!

Over the last few years, fashion has definitely taken a more edgy turn. People are prepared to wear outfits now that they never would have dared to wear a few years ago. Thanks to the growth in fashion TV shows and self-styled fashion experts like the UK’s Gok Wan, people are experimenting a lot more with what they wear, putting items of clothing together that should not work in theory but do in practice. So where does the ankle boot fit in with all this?

Originally popular in the 80’s, the ankle boot is now making a huge comeback, thanks in part to the growing appetite amongst fahionistas for all things retro. Look through the pages of any celebrity magazine and I guarantee you will find at least one image-conscious celeb sporting a pair.

Of course, to get the most out of your ankle boots, you have to wear them with the right outfits. Bodies come in all shapes and sizes and not every outfit will go with every body shape/size. Likewise, some people may be able to pull off a certain look that others would frankly struggle with.

Most outfits can actually look good if worn with an air of confidence. As the old saying goes, it’s not what you wear, it’s how you wear it that counts. But there are some outfits that can look particularly good when worn with a cool little pair of ankle boots, so let’s take a look at a few of them.

First of all, a pair of skinny jeans is the natural partner to accompany your ankle boots. It’s very difficult to get this pairing wrong in fact. For a casual but trendy and fashionable look, throw on your skinny jeans and tuck them into your ankle boots and you’re all set. Accompany this with a cashmere sweater and/or a leather jacket and you have instant street cred for that rock chic look.

Another great look, if you have the legs for it, is to wear your ankle boots with a short skirt. But to pull this off, you have to get it right. If the skirt is too short ad the heels too high, you’ll just end up looking tarty and cheap, which is never a good thing. so you want the skiirt just a couple of inched above the knee, ideally in some kind of light, flowing material (NOT denim!) and the boots, ideally in sued or brushed leather, should only have a bit of a heel, maybe an inch or so.

And for something really funky, why not wear your ankle boots with a pair of shorts and colorul leggings? This is a really fun and kooky look, especially if you wear a bright top and plenty of accessories. Not for everyone, but if you like to look a bit different and show off the fun side of your character, it can work really well.

So there you have it. Three different outfits that you can put together to get the most out of your ankle boots. The key thing is not to be afraid to experiment when putting your outfits together. And whatever you wear, wear it with pride and with confidence!

Ankle boots are great, we love them! That’s why we’ve put together this Ankle Boot Heaven website. After all, is there any other style of boot that can look so great with so many different outfits?

On this website, we provide all sorts of fashion advice for all you ankle boot fanatics, along with some of the best buying tips. Think of this website as your one-stop-shop ankle book resource!

Anyway, enough blowing our own trumpet, here’s a few pointers to get things started.

First of all, women’s ankle boots haven’t always been in fashion, but right now they’re hot, hot, hot! We are convinced that things will stay this way for a while to come. Why? Because ankle boots are so flexible, they come in so many styles and they go with so many outfits. Whether you wear them with a short skirt, a long skirt, jeans, baggy pants, or anything else for that matter, a pair of ankle boots can really add flair to what you wear, so long as you choose the right style, the right color, the right shape, and put them with the right outfit.

You don’t have to pay a fortune for a good pair either (although you can if you want to and if you’ve got loads of cash!). Prices can range from as little as $20 or so on the high street and from Internet retailers, right up to thousands of dollars for the best boots from the top designers. Of course, if you only pay $20, you’re not going to get a top quality boot, but who cares? They can still look great and you would be surprised at some of the bargains you will find if you shop around.

Regarding colors, black ankle boots are often the most adaptable, because black is a color that can go with virtually anything. And in terms of materials, the choices are endless. You can go for a leather ankle boot, a suede ankle boot, we’ve even seen some pretty cool varieties in fur!

So where are some of the best places to buy your ankle boots? Shopping online is always great for bargains, but the downside is of course that you can’t try them on before ordering them. Going shopping on the high street will allow you to try many different pairs, but of course you will be limited to what they have in stock in your size. So there are advantages and disadvantages to both shopping methods.

Our best advice is to not be too conservative in your choice. Try something different, experiment a little, wear some ankle boots with outfits you wouldn’t ordinarily choose to wear them with and just get creative! After all, that’s how some of the best fashions are discovered.

A girl about town can never have too many pairs of ankle boots, so go for it! But be careful, if you get carried away, you could end up spending a lot more money than you were planning to spend!
