When summer dress season is over, it can be difficult to figure out how to wear ankle boots. Sure, they're the fashionable fall shoes for women, but how do you tuck your pants into your boots? Or do you leave them open? Can you wear them with sweatpants or should you save them for shorter pants and dressier occasions? If these questions sound like your inner monologue as you stand in front of the mirror wondering what to wear, then these tips and tricks on how to combine ankle boots are for you.
How do celebrities wear ankle boots in fall?
Whether you're cuffing your jeans, pairing grunge boots with soft fabrics and colors, or leaving a little space between the hem and toe, here are some genius celebrity-loved outfit hacks to show off your favorite ankle boots. These tips and tricks will help you style every ankle boot in your closet—cowboy, lug sole, snakeskin, and more—so they don't become the pair you bought but never wore.
Combine them with cool basics
Make your boots the focal point of your look by pairing them with cool basics (like a leather blazer and jeans) that don't take away their shine. Kaia Gerber wears a loose denim cut that slides seamlessly over her ankle boots, which are hemmed to avoid adding bulk to the top of the shoe.
Wear ankle boots with leggings
Yes, you can definitely wear leggings with boots. Let Chanel Iman's skillful combination prove you wrong: high-necked leather leggings with matching boots ensure a slim line. The leggings finish just above the fitted boots to avoid any unwanted creasing of the hem while still revealing the slightest hint of skin.
Add some glamor to your ankle boots
If Lizzo can wear ankle boots on the red carpet, then you can certainly flaunt yours at a formal event or a New Year's Eve party. They add a cool look to any elegant outfit - especially if they are two-tone. Ankle boots are perfect for adding a touch of glamor to a formal suit, while sparkly boots will dress up a simple dress.
Add a colorful accent in autumn with ankle boots
Are bright boots intimidating? As Emma Roberts proves, they are definitely wearable. Simply combine an item of clothing in a similar shade from your wardrobe.
Ankle boots combine with a suit
Grab a graphic tee and ankle boots the next time you're trying to tone down a sharp suit (but still want to look fabulously chic). If your pants are fitted, make sure your boots hit below the hem. You can also choose wide-leg pants to wear over ankle boots. If you haven't managed to hem your pants, heeled ankle boots can make up for the excess length.
Keep things balanced with chunky boots and soft fabrics
If your entire outfit is silky, cozy and all-around soft, spice it up with a pair of chunky lug-soled boots for that street style star look. A work boot or thicker platform sole will offset some of the sweetness of a long, flowing skirt or dress.

Combine ankle boots with jogging pants
The secret to Zendaya's unexpected outfit: She opted for sweatpants that taper inward at the ankle so they go well with the slim boots. If you want to recreate Zendaya's look, be sure to pay attention to your makeup and hair to add an elegant touch to the whole ensemble - not just your feet.
Opt for cropped jeans
Showing a little ankle is key to showing off your boots. A bit of skin draws attention and breaks up your look so your black-on-black-on-black outfit doesn't blend into one dark patch.
Wear ankle boots with statement socks
When Selena Gomez does it, we usually do it too. Feel free to adopt this philosophy if you're currently thinking about wearing a pair of fancy socks with your booties. The extra layer keeps you warm and feels so autumnal.
More ideas for fall – experiment with rain boots
There doesn't necessarily have to be rain in the forecast for you to get out your rubber boots. Wellington boots have a futuristic feel that can be integrated into any look. You can tuck your pant legs directly into the boots to secure them at the ankles.
Go grunge in fall with ankle boots
Pair chunky ankle boots with a midi skirt for an effortless look. Achieve the sandwich effect by pairing your belt and shoes with an unexpected white skirt to spice up your ensemble in an interesting way.
