Fox In Flats | How to wear ankle boots when you really don’t like them

How to wear ankle boots when you really don’t like them

Do you ever feel like that creature in the Dr Seuss classic Green Eggs and Ham?

I do, when fashion-types serve up the same trend season to season that I don’t like. Makes me wanna stomp my feet and yell:

I do not like them Sam-I-am!

For me, ankle boots are one of those trends.

They continue to be offered up in magazines as a mainstream shoe option, yet I’ve refused to try them as common sense tells me these babies are going to make my legs look stumpy.

And then me, look frumpy.

Ankle boots

But then I was given a gift voucher to spend on some shoes, and decided it was time to try ankle boots for myself and see what all the sartorial hype was about.

So I pinched my nose, and squeezed my eyes closed really tight, and took a huge bite of ankle boot.

The black leather ECCO Pearl ankle boots I bravely tried.

Over the last few weeks I’ve been seeking advice on how to wear them, and playing dress-up at home. I’ve discovered that ankle boots are good to wear, if you follow a few simple guidelines:

TIP! Go for a leggy look. Ankle boots go best with short skirts, skinny jeans and leggings.

TIP! Keep skirts at least a couple of inches above your knee, and avoid a short skirt that is too full or you’ll look like a figure skater.

TIP! Balance a heavier dark shoe with a dark jacket, hat, sunglasses or headband, and try the classic stylists tip and juxtapose with an ultra feminine dress.

TIP! Wear black opaques with dark boots to elongate your legs.

TIP! Tuck skinny jeans into your boots, or if your jeans are shorter, have them sit at the top of the boot. If you cover the boot with fabric it will make your calves look thicker.

TIP! Try ankle boots with a long skirt, but make sure you can’t see any leg. Not even a peep.

I like them, Sam-I-am!

: They are so very good you see!

So now, I would wear them here and there.

I would wear them ANYWHERE!

More tips:

If you plan to wear ankle boots with bare legs, choose boots where the height is cut level to the thinnest part of your ankle.
The looser and wider they are at the top, the thinner your legs will look.

If I won I would wear my boots every where and every season. In winter I’d wear them with black tights, a short dress or long top with a jacket and scarf. In spring and autumn I’d loose the jacket and then in summer I’d wear them with a short dress or skirt. and trying to do some Dr Seuss:

Say I am Chrissy
Chrissy I am
I like Boots better than Ham
I do I like them, Chrissy I am

So I would not leave them in a box
I would not give them to a fox
I would wear them in a house
I would wear them chasing a mouse
I would wear them here and there
Say I would wear them EVERYWHERE

Everywhere I’d wear my new boots,
from taking a ride in a ute,
to playing my lute or flute,
even while eating some fruit.
They’d look great with my suit,
and teamed with my bag of jute,
and wearing them I’d always look cute,
so much so all the cars would toot!

My husband has gone back to full time study this year so I’m working to support our little family with long hours and 2.5 hours a day commute. Not that I’m complaining because I love my life but sometimes a gal needs a gorgeous new pair of boots to make the walk through life a little bit more interesting! I would wear them EVERYWHERE!

  Kylie, sounds as though you are being an awesome wife to support your hubby so much. I did the same for a while. Totally worth it if they end up doing something they love (and you get to too). Good luck with the comp. xxx

Have shared on Face Book , subscribed to Fox in Flats & tweeted (micksmum79) It seems these shoes are made for walking in just about anything , maybe even dancing naked under the apple tree.

I shared on Facebook, April Perkins. I’ll wear them when I want to drive my friends crazy with envy, so all the time.

I would wear them in the bath just for a laugh.
I would wear them when I eat just for a treat.
I would wear them in the garden without a pardon.
I like them here, I like them there.
I like to wear them everywhere.
They are so good, so good you see.

I’d wear them on a run,
Or simply just for fun,
I’d wear them doing a fox trot,
Or even on a racing yacht,
I’d even wear them to bed,
In fact I’d wear them anywhere I tread!

Shoes, glorious shoes! Made for wearing, made for walking, I’ll even multitask while walking!

I just got a little giddy when I read the words KNEE HIGH RIDING BOOTS.
These are my secret obsession. I am dying to rock a pair this winter (horse optional)! And I think I’d be quite content to lie back on the couch, gazing at my boots and pretending that I’m off to watch the polo with the Duke and Duchess.

I would wear them in a heartbeat.
Wearing them would be such a neat treat.
I would wear them while I’m driving.
I would wear them while I’m jiving.
You won’t get them off my feet.

Well hello there, O Stylish one.
Have just shared on Facebook via my page ‘Whoa, Mamma’ and have tagged back to ‘Fox in Flats’.
New Shoes! New Shoes! New Shoes! I swoon at the thought, because the only new shoes I buy are for my 3 daughters.
Would love to splurge Mother-Guilt-free on some new Winter boots and I would wear them singing & dancing in the Rain xxx
Tania

What a discovery!! Love your blog Andrea, have subscribed and shared on facebook as Tania Lee.

I would wear them to Auskick,
Would wear to work at Austral Bricks.
I would wear to basketball,
Then afterwards on a pub crawl.
Would wear them out to lunch with Fox,
Would pair them with my favourite socks!
Would wear them right to Timbuktu!

Where would I wear a new pair of boots??
maybe to work with a nice shiny suit..

I could where them at the park,
with my daughter in toe,
or out in the dark,
for a night with the beau.

The options are endless and no-one disputes,
my feet would be happy in new ECCO boots!

I love this story! I am due any day with my first child and as part of trying to be patient waiting I found myself ordering a pair of flat black leather ankle boots online, which I plan to wear with my leggings after the birth, and when I’m feeling brave (and a little thinner) my skinny jeans!

I’ve shared on fb at amanda.voke. I would dare to wear those foxy little Ecco ankle boots anywhere and everywhere!
