HOW TO: THE PERFECT ANKLE BOOTS

28th September 2011

This is for those of you who’ve emailed/commented wanting to know where you can get a pair of the  black ankle boots I always wear. You can see which boots I’m referring to here, here and here. Purchased from Mango two years ago, they’re pretty damn perfect – black suede, a V shaped dip at the front, low heel and pull on leather tabs. A definite wardrobe essential that go perfectly with  just about everything I own. Sadly my pair aren’t available anymore but I’ve compiled my top 9 ankle boots below so you can get amongst it.

1. Isabel Marant – Dicker Bottines – the original and the best.
2. Sam Edelman – Flat Suede Ankle Boot
3. Oasis – Fran Ankle Boot
4. Dolce Vita - Jamison Boot - I heart these (also available at OAK).
5. Bertie – Kai Lo Heel Ankle Boot
6.Topshop - Ambush Side Zip Ankle Boots
7. Ash – Jess Biss Curved Zip - these are perfection.
8. Topshop - acne pistol lookalikes!
9. Asos – Aggie Suede Pull on Boot
A tip if you’re not  overly confident with your pins – invest in ankle boots with a dip at the front (like the Ash ones above) for their leg lengthening and ankle shrinking properties. It. Works.
