ankle Boots?

I'm with the leggings/thick tights brigade. I find skinny jeans are too much hard work to get off nowadays!

Its time to get my boots out again I don't need any new ones this year thank goodness.
I wear my ankle boots with my jeans resting on the top of the boots at ankle grazer length and also have some jeans/legging from Bon Marche which go under the foot you are best buying them in the shorter length and they don't go baggy then.

I agree that they look great with skirts and dresses as well as jeans. I have several pairs and I love them.

trotting! not totting dohhhh

petra having now done my aerobics with my boots and trousers I can now see that it works I have been totting round town, but didn't notice anyone pointing at my ankle boots...so must have got it right lol lol.

off to the shops again soon..byeee

I love them, my trousers end where the boots begin, I have other trousers for flat shoes.

I usually wear thick, long socks with ankle boots.
You can gather them a bit above the boot to cover trouser bottoms.

I always wear ankle boots in the winter, and sometimes high tops in the summer, and usually with dresses. Bare legs in summer, with midi length dresses, and black tights or leggings in winter, with shorter dresses in cord and wool. I wear trousers and jeans too, but either roll them up or wear ankle grazers. I don’t own a skirt at all, but I do have several jumpsuits. Ankle boots go with everything, and they are so comfortable. They are great with leggings, because you can’t see the end, and great with tights, because you can’t see any wrinkles. I tend to buy flat ones because I find walking in heels difficult. I bought a beautiful pair last winter, lace up, a bit like Doc Martins, and with embroidery up the side of the ankle. They are flat, waterproof, leather, with a good grip on the sole, and I can walk miles in them.

Boot leg jeans, cords, or trousers are perfect with ankle boots.

I was having a look at winter boots in Hotter today. I would love some of those pixie ankle boots, but they don't give enough support for me.
I hope to get some of the lace-up ones. Maybe in burgundy like M0nica.

Am imagining a lot of scenes with ladies of a certain age falling over whilst trying to put ankle boots on.
It’s not something I have ever worried about ( or even thought of) before now.?

M0nica, I like the sound of your outfit.?

The boot/ narrow trouser problem. What you do is put the boots inside the trousers before you put the trousers on.
Then put your legs into the trouser and boot. It works

This winter I will be wearing my burgundy red suede ankle boots with a raspberry red tunic dress and really thick mid grey tights.

I tuck trousers into socks in cold weather. The top of the sock peeks out of the ankle boots...sometimes I go mad with a bright colour!!
Otherwise why not try rolling the trousers up to ankle grazer length to see if it suits...anything goes nowadays if you are comfortable.

Thank you all, interesting if not confusing. Think an hour in front of the mirror trying out different combinations will be the answer. Don't have a skirt at the moment, but like the thought of one with thick tights for the Autumn. Will have to be brave. Thanks again

I don't think that there is a right or wrong way to wear trousers with ankle boots. Depending on the length, I either tuck the bottoms in or leave them out. I am currently looking for a new pair, but there is so much choice. I need more time to decide.

I love ankle boots, soon be time to get them out again, I like skirts with thick tights. You will have to shorten your trousers sharon or buy ankle grazers.

?You have a point, bikergran

hm..Ive been wearing them wrong all these yrs ...lol
so if we dont "tuck in" what do I do with the bit thats too long as it wont go over the boot as the width of the jeans/leggings/jegging is narrower than the top of the boot. hmmm...

I'm 5' 1" and I wear ankle boots all the time with, jeggings, skinny jeans, jumper dresses and thick tights.
Just as Willow says. Never tuck in. Now you can update your style even further, by treating yourself to clothes which go with the boots. ?

Definitely dark tights, skirts or dresses.

Never tuck your trousers in the boots. My trousers and skinny jeans just sort of meet the boots (I am 5'2") Ankle boots are my everyday wear once the weather turns.

Ankle boots and dark tights or leggings look great either with a skirt or a dress. If you wear trousers I think they probably look better if they skim the top of the foot rather than the top of the boot.

Nowadays most rules are out of the window (thankfully). I was mid change the other winter (not got boots out this year yet). I found myself wearing ankle boots with a knee length A line skirt and caught sight of myself in the mirror and liked the result. I've seen ladies with better legs wear them with quite short skirts and thick tights and they look good too. Just mix it up a bit and go with what feels good for you! P.S. do like the sound of yours!
