How to wear ankle boots | Style guide

Okay – so there is a tonne of ways to wear ankle boots (that’s why, you know, EVERYONE loves them). So, we would like to shine a light on three of the most popular style of ankle boots and the tips and tricks to incorporating them into you very own wardrobe, so you can reap the rewards of this super stylish shoe.

The Heeled Ankle Boot

A heeled ankle boot will really go the distance all year round. Pair them with dresses, jeans, shorts, tights and anything else you can think of! We love them worked casually with black skorts, patterned tights and your favourite parker. A heeled boot will look lovely with dresses too. Weather its daytime chic with a maxi dress like the one above, or something a little more elegant during the evening.

The Classic Ankle Boot

An absolute wardrobe staple. Seriously.

Go with a masculine vibe and chuck on with boyfriend jeans and your favourite t-shirt. This will keep things casual but stylish and, of course, keep you comfortable. Bold prints will still be a huge fashion hit throughout Autumn ’14 like a floral dress (and chuck a nice beige swing coat over the top for warmth). A classic ankle boot will anchor a bold print and work all the way through autumn, winter and beyond. Feel free to experiment with print on pants, jackets or scarves – and your ankle boots will go with it all!

Embellished Ankle Boots

More punch than your average ankle boot, yet no less versatile – a boot with studs and embellishment will add attitude and style points to any outfit. Don’t be afraid to pair these boots with a cute and ladylike skirt, especially in a similar colour tone (like the blue in the blue and white skirt above) as well as more masculine pieces like jeans and blazers. The blue hue also works wonderfully with a contrast (like the burgundy hat!).

This goes to show – how you accessorize your outfits will go a long way to defining them. How do you rock your wardrobe with ankle boots?

February 14 sees the start of the Adelaide Fringe festival, Womad pokes its head in and the Adelaide Festival arrives – just to name a few! With so many options to fill your social calendar, it’s hard to know where to be, when and, of course, what to wear.

Starting with Fringe Festival we will give you lovely ladies a breakdown of what to expect and how to rock it fashion wise. Enjoy…

ADELAIDE FRINGE FESTIVAL – 15 Feb to 17th March

First to kick of proceedings is the Adelaide Fringe festival. Renowned for it’s diversity and creativity the Fringe covers all multitudes of events, gatherings and shindigs, from cabaret to comedy, puppetry to pop-up locations, and involves the whole city. With a carnival like feeling, dress for comfort and fun and be prepared for and night of spontaneity. Think balmy summer nights wandering the garden, grabbing last minute tickets to a show in the city or popping over to Gluttony. Go with a fun print in in simple cuts and add cool accessories, like a backpack or a statement necklace like one the above (available from cherri bellini). Unleash your creative side. That’s the whole idea!

You will want practical shoes for strolling through the garden, or dancing around at the silent disco at Gluttony or even hunting for a great new show somewhere in the city. These short boots from Pascucci are perfect, low heeled, full of character and easy to throw on with jeans, shorts or dresses!

For something a bit more summery try these sandals from Keep. Uber chic and totally laid back, your ideal Fringe shoe.
