How to Wear Your Ankle Boots This Spring: A Visual Guide

Here are some easy examples to follow if you want to know how to wear ankle boots for spring.

There's a misconception that sometimes makes the rounds this time of year, one that supposes boots are something you should only wear during the colder months of the year. But it's not true! Boots are great staples year-round—it's all in how you style them. You're probably eager to shed all of your winter layers right about now, including coats and scarves, but ankle boots are a trusty accessory that will easily transition into spring. 

If this winter would ever end, you'd find that your favorite ankle boots can come in quite handy during the warmer months. From pairing them with cute dresses during the day to finishing off your going-out looks, the shoe style is actually very versatile. Keep scrolling to see our visual guide to wearing the staples once it warms up, and to shop some of our favorite boots now.
