This Ankle-Boot Style Is in It for the Long Haul
You can’t deny the power of the perfect pair of black ankle boots. But we don’t really need to go on and on about how they’re a staple—you already know the drill. Over the last few seasons, though, white booties have been creeping up as a must-have shoe silhouette. While they were considered the It trend of last fall and winter, the fashion elite is proving that the style isn’t going away anytime soon.
One of the biggest reasons? Well, as with black, white’s neutral, so these booties can technically go with just about anything in your wardrobe. Plus, they make any ensemble feel forward and special. Ahead, we’re highlighting how nine fashion girls are wearing white booties now to inspire new outfit ideas. We also rounded up a slew of styles we’re loving if you’re looking to refresh your current go-to pair or jump on the trend once and for all.
Show the world you mean business in a statement patent coat, a faux-fur scarf, trouser jeans, and your white boots.
Style your white boots with a colorful sweaterdress for an especially fresh-feeling outfit.
Make an all-beige look pop with your white booties.
Sure, coordinating your coat to your shoes used to be a "faux pas," but it feels so right with this forward vanilla-hued ensemble.
Afraid of potential salt stains and scuffs on your winter-white boots? Opting for a warmer vanilla hue is the perfect way to adopt this style for the long haul.
No matter what, an all-white outfit looks chic and elevated.
I love the pop of white underneath the light-wash jeans.
A pointed pair of booties is incredibly sleek with a knee-length skirt and turtleneck.
