4 Reasons To Choose Ankle Boots Over Knee-High Ones

It’s the age-old style question: should I wear ankle boots or knee-high boots with this outfit? Both boot types are wonderful footwear staples in their own right. But not every pant is suited for knee-high boots, and not every outfit shines with ones that only reach your ankle. 

Here, we’re placing ankle boots center stage with four reasons why you should go for them instead of knee-high ones. And with footwear brand Blowfish’s array of sleek and chic ankle boots, the decision is a no-brainer.

A Little Unexpected Skin

Ankle boots are the perfect way to keep showing a little skin during those tricky transitional weather months. Do this by wearing tan Blowfish ankle boots with maroon cropped pants for a look reminiscent of warmer days. Complete your lighthearted look by adding a fur vest and a bucket bag.  

No More Struggle

Face it: putting on knee-high boots can be such a chore. You have to keep tugging and stuffing your pants inside, which can be an inconvenience if you’re running late for work in the morning. With ankle boots, all you have to do is pull them on and go. Slip on a pair of leopard-print Blowfish ones with a denim dress for an easy and playful look.

Endless Possibilities

We’re not knocking knee-high boots, but when it comes to the versatility offered by an ankle boot, they just don’t measure up. For example, if you’re wearing wide-leg jeans, tall boots will hide their silhouette. And if you’re wearing shorts, knee-length boots will make your legs appear cut off. Each situation is easily remedied with ankle boots.

Flaunt Those Gams

They say “if you got it, flaunt it,” and ankle boots help you do just that. Place the spotlight on your lithe legs by pairing green wedge booties with a black mini skirt and a cream-hued sweater. Or accentuate the outline of your gams by wearing high-waisted skinny jeans, an off-the-shoulder blouse and desert boots.

At the end of the day, it’s good to have both knee-high boots and ankle ones in your closet. But keep these reasons in mind the next time you find yourself torn between the two.
