If your search history has suddenly filled up with "best ankle boots for dresses," you're not alone — interest in ankle boots has been climbing across the UK as the weather turns. They're one of the easiest ways to update a warm-weather wardrobe for autumn without starting from scratch.
Here's how to get the most out of a single pair of ankle boots this season.
Pair them with a midi or maxi dress
A flowing dress and ankle boots is one of the most flattering combinations for transitional weather — you keep the femininity of the dress while the boots add structure and warmth. For a polished daytime look, go for a boot with a small heel; for weekends, a flat or block heel ankle boot keeps things comfortable.
Layer with knitwear
Knitwear is trending alongside boots this season, and for good reason — a long cardigan or oversized jumper over a dress, finished with ankle boots, is a reliable formula that works from September through to the coldest months.
Don't forget knee-high socks
Knee-high socks peeking out from under a skirt with ankle boots is a look that's been rising in popularity — it adds texture and works especially well with shorter hemlines as temperatures drop.
