We’ve said it before—ankle boots are the darlings of footwear this fall. But we couldn’t resist recommending a few more, just in case you haven’t got yourself a pair already.
It’s hard to believe that, at one point, the look revolved around one shape, in black or brown. Well, those days are certainly over! The bootie is now akin to stilettos in terms of style diversity. ‘Sole sisters’ like Alexa Chung and Selena Gomez have made the bootie a wardrobe star.
Can’t swing a pair of Louboutins? Not a problem. Banana Republic knows how to pull off chic without an astronomical price tag, with this “Zoe” gathered bootie ($180). The posh suede, and ruched detail, immediately elevate it into date-night territory. For a sleeker look, try the “Milan” platform peep-toe ($140). You’ll love the velvet-like exterior and the cushion-y insole. Dare to go wild and get two pairs—one in black, the other in leopard!
Looking for a little extra street style? Rock these “Haga” stiletto bootie ($84.98), from Aldo. Heat things up in this American Eagle “Scout” sherpa trim boot($49.99), at Payless.
And if you’re after some added mileage, buy a hybrid, like this Lela Rose for Payless “Allerton” ($54.99) from Payless. With lazer-cut detail and side-buckle, this “shootie” is perfect for paring with a midi skirt or jeans.
