Who says a good pair of boots can't be worn in hot weather? Boots are the most versatile and powerful footwear, providing comfort, protection, and the ability to stand out in any ensemble.
Previously, we discussed the main types of boots for men and women, and today, we'll provide tips and ideas on how to wear your boots this season to make the most of them:
Women
1. Ankle Boots
The most versatile pair, akin to sneakers, they complement nearly any outfit. For spring and summer, consider pairing them with attire that reveals some skin since ankle boots tend to visually shorten the legs due to their height.
- Do's: Pair them with ankle jeans or shorts and skirts to counteract the shortening effect.
- Don'ts: Avoid wearing them with bulky clothing or dark outfits if you're petite.
