Boots for Women

What types of women's boots are there?

Women's boots come in many shapes. The most common are:

• Ankle boots and booties: end just above the ankle.
• Chelsea boots: with an elastic side panel, easy to slip on and off.
• Lace-up boots: with laces for a secure fit.
• Taller boots: reach the calf or higher.
• Lined winter boots: warmly lined and often waterproof for the cold season.
• Chunky boots: with a heavy platform sole for a bold look.

Which boots are on trend right now?

The most popular right now are Chelsea boots and ankle boots, because they're easy to combine. Chunky boots with a heavy platform sole are in demand too and add a strong accent. If you prefer something plainer, go for smooth ankle boots in black or brown that go with almost anything. Ankle boots with a heel make for a smarter look. In winter, lined and waterproof boots are practical, some with a padded shaft, keeping you warm while still looking good.

Which trousers go well with women's boots?

Most trouser shapes go with boots. Slim trousers and skinny jeans tuck easily into ankle boots or taller boots and emphasise the line of the leg. With wider jeans or fabric trousers the hem should end just above the shaft, so the boots stay visible. Cropped trousers also work well with ankle boots, because they leave the ankle free. What matters is that trouser length and shaft height are matched to each other.

Can you wear boots with dresses?

Boots and dresses go together well. With a short dress, ankle boots look casual and everyday, especially with opaque tights on cooler days. With a longer dress, Chelsea boots or flat ankle boots add a comfortable contrast. Taller boots work too, for example with a midi dress, when a little leg shows between hem and shaft. This creates a balanced look between dress and boots.
