In all honesty,

It's not that I dislike ankle boots for what they are,
sunglasses wholesale los angeles, it's more that I dislike how they're worn -- which is often in the most unflattering way possible.
I blame the media. Okay,
Chanel green frame grey lens sunglasses, that's a cop out,

What I mean to say is that what we see on the runways and in fashion magazines does not always translate well for our own bodies and lives.
For example,

So what should you wear with ankle boots? I'm so glad you asked. Here are a few of my favorite combinations.
Ankle Boots with Long Skirts
Whether they're flat or heeled,
Chanel gold double loop cc logo earrings, ankle boots and long skirts are a classic combination. While I personally prefer to pair them with a long skirt that is on the fuller side,

Short Skirts and Ankle Boots
This look is definitely a little more difficult to pull off,

The Best Pants for Ankle Boots
This one is nearly a no-brainer -- ankle boots work with any kind of pants. The advantage to wearing them over shoes or taller boots is that you get ankle coverage without the bulk of a knee-high boot. But -- and this is a big "but" -- the only pants that work well tucked into ankle boots are very tight ones. Wide-legged pants tucked into short boots create a very unflattering balloon effect.
