Starring: Boots and a skirt. Get inspired!

Do the ankle boots match the skirt?

Many women wonder whether ankle boots match a skirt. The answer is: definitely yes! The skirt is not reserved only for high heels or elegant flat shoes. 

When the temperature outside is still too high to wear boots, but too low to wear ballet flats, ankle boots are an excellent choice. We tell you how to wear them every day and on special occasions and what mistakes you should avoid.

Boots and a skirt for everyday use

Ankle boots look divine in combination with a skirt, practically regardless of its length. In autumn, you can wear a leather, pleated mini skirt, an oversize sweater in earthy colors and nude suede ankle boots. Remember about a stylish belt that will highlight your wasp waist. 

If you love breaking patterns, choose an airy midi skirt with a floral, girly pattern. Pair it with a black top with lace trim and heavy black leather ankle boots. Don't forget about the biker jacket! 

Suede ankle boots in neutral colors are also a great choice for everyday wear. Choose those with a low heel and a rounded toe. Boots with ties will also work great. Beige or brown will make your styling not look too festive.

Boots and a skirt for the holidays

Are you going on a romantic date, an important business meeting or an exciting dinner with friends? If you value comfort and don't like to be cold, replace classic high heels with extravagant ankle boots with a pointed toe. This style will make you chic and at the same time comfortable.

If you want to create a stylish outfit for a larger occasion, choose high-heeled leather boots. Bright colors, such as black, will work particularly well. Wear them with a chic, pleated skirt or a skirt made of leather. However, remember to choose the right material for the boots in this combination. A good solution for a dark, shiny leather skirt is to wear matte or suede ankle boots. In turn, light skirts will look good with shiny shoes. 

Open-toe ankle boots are also perfect for larger occasions. If you want to add a bit of color to your styling, choose colorful footwear that will stand out against the background of a subdued skirt.

The most common mistakes

A skirt combined with ill-fitting ankle boots can visually shorten your figure. If you don't have legs to the sky, it's worth sticking to a few rules.

Firstly, avoid too much contrast between colors. A white midi skirt paired with black ankle boots cuts your legs off abruptly, making you look less proportional. To prevent this, wear single-color, subdued skirts and color-matched ankle boots. Wear shoes in the same color with a long black skirt and enjoy a consistent final effect. Do you think this style is too balanced and therefore boring? Break it up with accessories! Choose a stylish belt, jewelry and hat that will reflect your personality.

Secondly, make sure you don't focus on the widest part of your calves. If you want them to look slim, choose boots that end around the ankles or the slimmest part of your legs. You'll see for yourself that the right length of ankle boots can do wonders in this regard!

Thirdly, beware of disproportions. If a piece of leg is visible between the skirt and the boots, beige ankle boots will work especially well. However, avoid them when you are wearing black tights. In this situation, we recommend choosing a dark shade of shoes. If you want to give the impression of a taller person, choose pointed high-heeled ankle boots. This trick is perfect for petite women.

Also make sure that the boots are not brighter than the skirt. This color combination can make you look shorter and will also disturb the proportions of your figure. For this reason, choose ankle boots in a color that matches the skirt or is slightly darker.

The combination of a black, tight above-the-knee skirt with black ankle boots will look equally unfavorable. To balance the styling, choose a skirt with a different structure, e.g. pleated, and replace black shoes with ankle boots in a color similar to your skin tone.

Maintain proportions and hit the road

You see, the combination of ankle boots and a skirt definitely deserves attention. The key to success is to maintain appropriate proportions and avoid joints that optically shorten the legs. 

Choose the model that best suits the occasion and make sure the boots fit properly around the ankle. If they are too tight, they may cause unsightly folds of skin on the leg, and if they are too loose, they may be uncomfortable to use. You can check the fit by placing your finger between the ankle and the inside of the shoe.
