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

The leggings finish just above the fitted boots to avoid any unwanted creasing of the hem while still revealing the slightest hint of skin.
