The secret is to realize that there is no secret, ankle boots are versatile enough to wear with a pair of blue jeans, dress pants or even a long skirt. If you really want to showcase them though, the trick is to show off your legs while you wear ankle boots.

  1. Wear ankle boots with a complementary top and short skirt. For example, put black with black for more streamlined look or red boots with a red top and black skirt. for a symmetrical  look.
  2. Choose a pair of nylons or tights that match the look you are going for.  Nylons that complement your skin tone work for a more conservative feel. Buy funky tights, either in lace or a colorful patterned or even fishnet stockings for a real fashion statement. the latter is especially fun if your ankle boots are already in a bold color.
  3. Add extra embellishments to the boots themselves if you really want to draw attention to your footwear. Silver or gold charms, that match the rest of the jewelry you have on, hung around the top of your ankle boot will everyone's eye traveling from your head to your toes and then back up again.
  4. Change out the shoelaces to match the rest of your look. The same pair of ankle boots can go from the office to the club, all by trading in black laces for neon purple ones.
