A classic pair of ankle boots have the power to raise the style stakes of any outfit. With such an iconic design, it’s so simple to piece together an impressive look every time. The luxurious range of women’s ankle boots here at Fairfax & Favor are on hand to elevate your wardrobe - no matter the occasion.

Taking your look from casual daywear to elegant evening style can be done seamlessly with the addition of the versatile ankle boot as this style of footwear goes well with so many pieces. In this guide we will explore the art of styling ankle boots to suit any occasion, from the Cheltenham Festival to visits to cosy countryside retreats.

Make a statement with heeled ankle boots

If you love making a statement with your footwear, an ankle boot with a charming heel may be the perfect choice as an exemplary base for your day-to-night ensemble. Heeled ankle boots combine sophistication with a timeless design, making them an ideal choice for those days where you’re in need of an outfit to transition effortlessly from day to night.

Not only does the heel add extra height, it can provide the feeling of being ‘dressed up’ for an occasion, taking a casual outfit up a notch without any effort at all. What more could you ask for!

Complement your heeled ankle boots with a pair of opaque tights, a patterned skirt and a knitted vest over a shirt for a truly stellar combination of archetypal winter style. Draw further attention to your footwear choice, and elongate your legs whilst doing so, by opting for ankle boots with a contrasting heel design. A beautiful coloured suede in a shade such as an inky blue or a soft cream, teamed with a wood effect stacked heel is bound to nail the smart-casual dress code.

For extra refinement, why not opt for a heeled ankle boot with buckle details - a flash of golden or silver hardware can be easily mirrored with your accessories, such as handbags and jewellery.

Combine practicality and style effortlessly

For those seeking the reliability of practicality alongside impeccable style, a flat ankle boot can take you from an afternoon walk in the countryside to a cosy evening fireside in the pub.

Combining comfort with a quintessential tailored design can be done easily with a pair of luxury boots!

Dedicated lovers of chunky ankle boots won’t have to compromise on their aesthetic when it comes to teaming their footwear of choice with a chic outfit. A pair of deep brown leather ankle boots with a luxurious shearling lining can keep you snug whilst adding an element of rural class to a casual outfit of slim fit jeans and a cashmere jumper. You could even take the comfort levels up a notch with taupe coloured leggings and an oversized knit in a similar neutral shade for a cohesive look.

Toughen up a feminine outfit

Nothing says day-to-night style more than a pair of designer ankle boots teamed with a dress. The juxtaposition of tough and elegant works wonderfully for so many event settings. Not only that, but ankle boots can provide a comfortable evening footwear option that never fails to remain stylish yet understated.

No matter the season, a figure-enhancing maxi dress can be paired with supple leather ankle boots and brought together by a leather waist belt in the same colour as the perfect finishing touch to make an ideal easy-to-wear outfit option. Matching the leather elements promises a polished feel to a feminine look which is superb for a laidback afternoon tea or early evening cocktails with friends.

Find your perfect fit

As you can tell by now, ankle boots are so versatile that you’re able to style them in many different ways to match any occasion. The quarter-length ankle boot is a popular choice in the autumn and winter months, even working well as a transitional footwear choice for spring time. For an ankle boot design that hits higher up the leg, a pair of skinny jeans tucked into the boot and styled with a crisp, plain white t-shirt is a fail-safe casual look. Throw on a blazer and emphasise your accessories to make the switch to evening attire and you’re good to go.

Finding the perfect luxury ankle boots to suit your unique style is easy with the versatility of such a boot design! From suede pull-on Chelsea boots, to premium leather zip up heeled ankle boots, this is a footwear style to be shown off at any occasion and can be worn with a multitude of different outfits.
