Why Ankle Boots Are Actually the Perfect Going-Out Shoes

Lots of women reach for high heels when they're dressing for an evening out. But today, we're challenging this favored style by showing you how ankle boots—which can help create height—are a tad more comfortable and work just as well for a going-out ensemble. Intrigued? We're sharing seven incredibly stylish looks you can easily replicate next time you're wearing your favorite dress.

From a casual midi-length option and a playful party dress to laid-back options you can dress up with the right boots and simple LBDs, here are dress-and–ankle boot combinations to try this upcoming season. This can be a tricky trend to nail, so make sure to keep reading to see how you can wear your favorite ankle boots with dresses, and let us know how you pull off the combination using the hashtag #WhoWhatWearing.

Why it works: Take a cue from Candice Swanepoel and dress down an alluring frock with a pair of suede ankle boots. This look is proof that even the fanciest gown pairs well with heeled booties.
Why it works: Copy Alexa Chung’s trick by pairing a fanciful minidress with tall ankle boots. This styling adds a tough element to the romantic dress.
Why it works: Tight sock boots are the perfect complement to a flowier dress. Not only does this look elongate your legs, but it also adds an edgy element to the look.
Why it works: Emulate this outfit by pairing a bright dress with white boots. Add a matching blazer to finish off the look.
Why it works: Chiara Ferragni’s lace-up combat boots act as the perfect foil for her strapless dress. Mixing hard and soft, the It girl’s style is the perfect way to incorporate some menswear inspiration into a going-out look.
Why it works: Gigi Hadid proves that this style works for every type of dress. Styling pointed-toe ankle boots with a sweet midi dress makes for a cool contrast.
Why it works: These chunky combat boots offset the sweet style of the slip dress, working together to create a well-balanced look. Throw on a leather jacket to add a bit more edge.

Now shop our favorite ankle-boot-and-dress combinations.

Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout.

His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
