Curating your colder weather wardrobe means considering a coat – this year it’s all about the quilted and puffer – but it also means carefully choosing your winter footwear and ankle boots should be top of your list.
Unlike other footwear, ankle boots are amazingly versatile: wear them with a skirt, jeans, smart trousers or a dress and take them out for a walk, to work or to the pub. They come in so many more styles too: there’s your classic Chelsea boot, snazzy kitten heel variety, biker boots, no-nonsense faux-fur lined, sleek sock-boots and so many more besides.
While you might invest in ankle boots for the winter, considering the UK’s climate, it’s likely you’ll still be wearing them on those chilly spring days too. So, when you consider cost-per-wear, it’s certainly worth the investment. And October is the prime time to snap up a new pair of ankle boots, as both high street stores and designers alike bring out the very best of their autumn/ winter collections.
