The Ankle Boot Style Fashion Girls Are Into Now
We need to talk about ankle boots. Luckily, one of the biggest trends to emerge this winter happens to be a flat ankle boot style (music to your ears?). We've recently noticed that more and more celebs, fashion insiders, models and influencers have been sporting combat boots, those clunky-soled, typically lace-up shoes that give any look they're paired with a welcome dose of edge—from jeans and a T-shirt to a sweet floral-print dress.
As you'll see with the below looks, fashion girls are jumping on the '90s trend and choosing to pair the fresh flat ankle boot style with denim skirts, dresses and crop tops. And there are currently tons of cool styles on the market, from Alexander Wang to Zara, Stuart Weitzman and more. Why not be savvy and invest in a pair now that you can wear over jeans or with maxi dresses and switch out for shorter hemlines when summer comes around?
Read on to see how fashion girls are styling combat boots and to shop our favourite styles.
