Victoria Beckham Started a New Ankle Boot Trend

last updated 13 August 2019

Just when you were probably starting to think that you'd seen enough white ankle boots for a lifetime, Victoria Beckham went and wore a pair of boots to the airport that will surely give everyone's white ones a run for their money: mint green.

Beckham arrived at JFK over the weekend wearing an all-black outfit consisting of a turtleneck sweater, skinny jeans, and the aforementioned ankle boots. The safe choice would've been to pair her black pieces with equally safe neutral-colored shoes, but Beckham opted for the unexpected pastel shoes and the results were so fresh.

There hasn't been much focus on mint green in fashion for the past several seasons, but the S/S 18 runways were filled with the pretty hue (including Beckham's very own collection), so get ready to start seeing a lot more of it. We love the cool contrast that pastel boots, in general, provide to all-black.

So with that, keep scrolling to see the start of the mint-green shoe trend and shop a few affordable pastel-colored ankle boots we have our eye on.
