Boots vs. Booties - A Style Blog

Fall and Winter are upon us and with the new crisp weather comes many different fun ways to pair stylish and layered looks.  As soon as the first cold front hits, fashion forward fans everywhere are running to their closets to pull out their favorite boots and booties.

As a rule of thumb,  boots with a taller shaft look the best when tucked into skinny jeans, and booties are styled better with jeans untucked or cuffed. Let’s break down a few different ways our team suggests pairing these two different styles!

Flat ankle booties are best styled with skinny jeans, dresses, and jean shorts, for an easily casual, everyday look. For warmer days, when you can still throw on a pair of shorts, flat ankle booties can take the outfit to the next level. Ankle booties are an easy Fall/Winter shoe made to slip on and wear all day, while still looking your absolute best.

Kork Ease, Bussola, Frye, and Naot are all unique brands that give options of both flat and heeled booties. A Heeled Bootie can add a more formal look to your outfit and is best paired with wide leg pants, flowy dresses, and distressed denim. Booties with a heel can be dressed up for date night or dressed down with skinny jeans and a tee for a casual day running errands.

Boots with a taller shaft are a statement piece and perfect with skinny jeans to avoid bunching of the material around the knees! A few brands that have an array of options of taller shaft boots are Clarks, Frye, and Vionic. Each of these brands will offer a look of sophistication that will take your outfit to another level. Skinny jeans, and flowy skirts  pair perfectly with a pair of tall boots and elongate the body to provide a longer and leaner look.

Even though both booties and boots can be styled in unique and different ways, they both have one thing in common: They look amazing with skinny jeans! No matter which style boot you already own or choose to buy, you really can’t go wrong. The options are endless, so choose your shoe depending on the look and style you are trying to achieve!
