Boots are ageless fashion footwear that can be worn year round. Today you can pick styles in classic and up-to-the-minute trends, constructed of leather or artificial materials. Now, boots are made for more than just winter wear or foot protection. The sky’s the limit for the type you prefer! Here’s a guide to finding the ideal height for you. Introducing the ankle, mid calf, knee and above the knee boots!

Ankle boots are exceedingly comfortable and fashionable, and can be worn by anyone, making them the most forgiving style. The key to wearing them in the most fashionable way is to wear them with clothing that works with them. Most ankle boots look nicest when they are worn with pants that cover their top. If you don't like the length or the heel of a taller boot, you will love these. When wearing pants, many people won't be aware that they are short. You will sometimes see a celebrity or other fashion forward person pairing ankle boots with a short mini skirt or other retro fashion. Though this is acceptable, you have to be self-assured and careful when trying this fashion move.

Mid calf boots are great for many people, but you should understand that they might make short legs seem even shorter. They are the perfect combination for that skirt that falls just below your knee. They will allow a little calf to show in between, but not enough to make you look silly. Mid calf boots are comfortable yet chic. You'll be able to find them in Western styles to wear with that jean skirt and t-shirt. You can also find them in refined black heel styles for your work attire. No matter what you do, make sure that you keep your skirt hem slightly under the knee when wearing them. You can also use them with jeans or pants. Try tucking them in or pulling them out over your boots for a variety of styles.

Knee boots were once thought to be so sexy that only exotic dancers wore them. These days, knee boots are hot and classy, utilizing height to showcase your legs. They work best on long legs. Short legs can look extra short when wearing them, unless you are wearing a very short skirt. They can slim down your legs and create a runway look. We are also witnessing them worn with skinny jeans tucked into them, which is very trendy right now. You can wear knee boots with short dresses, skirts, or pants. Just be sure not to pair them with long dresses, unless the dress has a long slit in the skirt, in which case these boots are ideal!

Only the long legged can wear boots that come over the knee. Short people who attempt to wear boots higher than the knee will find that they will come up to their waist before they get a good fit! These boots should be earmarked for going to the clubs or impressing a hot date. They should not typically be worn to the office or to a formal event. They are a little risky and can be seen as being too alluring. Be mindful of these things and wear them correctly.

As you can see, boots come in many assorted heights. Remember that different boot height works niftiest with specific clothing. If you enjoy boots, consider getting several pairs in varying heights. Unless you are tall with long legs, you may not be able to don all heights in a pleasing fashion. Heel height is also crucial. Don’t decide on shoes that you cannot walk in comfortably. A pointed, rounded or squared toe will create different looks and comfort level! Consider whether you will be wearing your boots with a dress or pants, for protection from the elements or merely for fun. Expense may also be a consideration, and a premium pair of boots may cost several hundred dollars. Whatever style of boots you choose, go with what you know feels best and what feels best for you. If you do that, you will be donning those boots with style.
