4 Easy Rules for Wearing White Boots

White boots don’t seem as out there and daring as they did a year and a half ago, maybe that’s because we’ve all been seeing street style and social media photos of  people looking spectacular in white boots. But even with all that inspiration, there still is this disconnect of HOW TO ACTUALLY WEAR THEM.

Literally, every time I wear my white boots, even with the uber fashionable gals, someone says “oh, I’ve been eyeing white boots but don’t know how to wear them” or “I have a pair sitting in my closet but I am not sure what to put them with”


Guys, consider the gauntlet thrown. Challenge accepted. Because adding a pair to your wardrobe is the easiest spring update you can make, I promise. There are a few simple rules to keep in mind, and after that it’ll be easy to make a go of your white booties.

When picking a white boot or bootie, one rule holds true, DO NOT WEAR A PLATFORM. A platform makes them look like a go-go boots costume not like the chic white booties they are. Heels are fine, block, stiletto, architectural but the toe box should stay flat for sure.
Warmer weather means lighter and brighter colors and fabrics. The transition from light denim to a dark bootie is harsh. A white bootie keeps the spring/summer feel and just makes you go ahhhhh. Dark denim with white undertones or a frayed hem works well too as it marries the dark and light colors.


This is the go big or go home move. If you’re going to be bold and wear a white bootie DO NOT hide them under a bootcut jean and just let the toe poke out. These babies are the hero of the outfit, show them off! Make sure your pant or jean hits at the ankle so your white booties can shine in all their glory.
