How to Wear Ankle Boots With Dresses

Image
Have you ever wondered how to wear those cute ankle boots in the back of your closet with a your favorite dress?  Now you can find out and explore a whole world of fashion behind dresses with ankle boots. Pick boots in neutral colors so that you can wear them with more outfits. Black and brown are the most popular neutral colors. You can also try nude/tan, white, and gray as well. Silver and gold are also both considered to be neutral, and are ideal for evening looks.  Plan ahead. Avoid mixing contrasting colors, such as black booties and a white dress. This will "cut" your legs in half, and make them appear too short. Go for boots with a heel if you'd like to make your legs appear longer. The more slender your heel is, the more chic and sophisticated your outfit will look. A sleek, slender heel is also ideal if you want a more dressy look.  Wear boots made from a matte material if you have large feet. Shiny materials make things look bigger. Matte ma

How to Shrink Leather Boots

If you've got a brand new pair of leather boots , you probably can't wait to wear them out somewhere. In some cases, though, those new boots don't quite hug your feet the way you wish they would, which can make showing them off in public pretty difficult. Luckily, you can fix this problem easily with a little H20 and a bit of physical activity — or, if time is a factor, you can safely shrink those shoes now with just a spray bottle, hair dryer, and some leather conditioner. Soak your boots in a tub of water for about an hour. It doesn't need to be a lot of liquid, but your shoes should be totally underwater. If they don't get good and soaked, they might not shrink evenly.     Alternately, you can use a wash basin or large bucket.     If your boots are made of suede, submerging them might ruin their appearance. Instead, just wet the inside of the shoes and let them air dry in a sunny space. Put on a pair of socks and dunk your feet in the water. The d

How to Tuck Jeans Into Boots

Whether you’re rocking leather riding boots, insulated snow boots , or bright, shiny rain boots, they’re best shown off by tucking your jeans into them. However, this isn’t always the easiest – or most straightforward – task. If there isn’t much extra room for your jeans to slide into your boots or if your jeans bunch up as you move, don’t worry. With a few tucking tips, tricks, and handy little hacks, you can tuck any style of jean into your favorite pair of boots . Cuff your jeans. If your jeans are long, you’ll need to cuff them. They shouldn’t extend beyond your ankle, and cuffing them will ensure they bunch up above your boot. This technique works particularly well for pants that are loose at the end, such as flare or boot cut styles. Fold excess denim against your leg. Grab your jeans at the bottom, on the inner seam, and hold them the pant leg away from your leg. In other words, you will be stretching the denim out as wide as it will go. Then, carefully fold that

How to Measure Boot Shaft Yourself

When you consider purchasing a pair of boots , knowing the boot shaft measurement can help you figure out whether or not the boots will fit on your calves correctly. Measuring the boot shaft yourself is a good idea, but even if you are purchasing boots online and are unable to measure them, you'll still need to know how this measurement is taken so that you can determine if the boots will be a good fit for your own legs. Identify the boot shaft. The shaft of a boot refers to the portion of the boot that rises above your foot and over your calf.     When you only see a measurement for “boot shaft,” it is safe to assume that the measurement refers to the height of the shaft and not the circumference.  Measure from the arch to the top of the shaft. Place one end of a tape measure at the middle of the boot arch, directly above the boot sole. Extend the tape measure vertically along the outside of the boot until you reach the very top of the shaft. This length is your boot sh

How to Lace Boots

 Lacing your boots is similar to lacing shoes, but the extra room allows for some more options when it comes to style and function. Different lacing methods not only give your boots a unique look, but certain styles can make your feet more comfortable, or provide better support. Select a boot lace. Most likely you have a pair of boots that go at least as high as your ankles. Make sure that you get boot laces that are long enough for your pair of boots.     Ask a sales clerk for advice or read the packaging to determine the right boot lace length.     If you are getting new laces, measure the laces that came with your boots.     You can determine the length you will need by the amount of hole pairs in your boots. 5 or 6 holes requires 36 inches; 6 or 7 holes requires 40-45 inches; 8 holes requires 54 inches; 9 holes requires 63 inches; 10 or 11 holes requires 72 inches.   Start lacing the boot. The standard way for lacing your boots is to lace up your boot in a criss-cross f

How to Wear Dresses with Boots

There are a variety of stylish combinations when it comes to pairing boots with dresses. With so many options, it can sometimes be difficult to find the right boot and dress combination. The choice doesn’t have to be difficult, however, if you follow a few simple guidelines. Whether you are wearing short or long boots, the variety of combinations to choose can be plentiful, even when keeping the guidelines in mind. Match the boots with the style of the dress.  Try to pair the style of boots with the style of dress you’re wearing. For example, a pair of chunky, motorcycle boots wouldn’t work well with a light, flowing dress, but they would work well with a leather dress. Also, a pair of brown ankle boots wouldn’t look good with a leather dress, but they would work well with a light, flowing dress.  Wear boots that are formal or casual enough for the occasion. Along with matching the style of the boots with the dress, choose the right boots for the occasion. A pair o

Knee socks will provide the same effect, while also lengthening your legs.     Wear your socks-and-boots combo with a cute pair of shorts, a T-shirt, and a jacket.     Alternatively, wear socks and mid-calf boots with a short skirt and your favorite top, or a casual dress.  Pair mid-calf boots with your favorite dress for a rustic look. Mid-calf boots can be combined with dresses of any length. Wearing mid-calf boots with a maxi dress is popular with country and bohemian styles, especially when paired with a denim jacket.
