THE PERFECT ANKLE BOOTS
Last summer I started the search for the perfect pair of ankle boots. Little did I realise it would take me six months to find them! What I thought was a simple task was actually a real mission and I’m pretty sure ASOS are now on the verge of blacklisting me for the outrageous number of pairs I’ve bought and returned and I think the manager at the Covent Garden Office store hates the sight of me now for the same reason. (Sorry!)
A great pair of ankle boots can really “make” an outfit and I couldn’t find the pair that ticked all the boxes: not flats but not too high, black (obviously!), comfortable enough to wear on long, busy days at work and (essentially) didn’t make my legs look like little stumps. So, now I’ve found my perfect pair, I’m going to help you do the same! Here are my favourite ankle boots in the stores right now. (Please someone confiscate my credit card!)

I have a black pair of these and they are my perfect boots! they’re really low cut at the front which help elongate the leg and the heel is high enough to be flattering but comfortable enough to wear all day. I absolutely love them and I’ve just noticed that they also come in camel suede…
-
I love the colour of these nubuck boots from ALDO. These would look amazing with a mini-dress and a golden tan.
-
I love everything about these dusky pink Ted Baker boots. Fashioned in soft suede and snake-embossed leather, this elegant pair is finished with a wooden-look block heel.
-
The neutral tone would work with so many outfits and the gold details and wide slit on each side give them an edge.
-
Yes, I know the peep toes are impractical for the UK weather and it would have to be a cab only night out for me wearing a heel that high but I love them!
-
The small heel and beautiful brown suede would make these boots a wardrobe staple. I’d team them with indigo denim and a messy top knot for effortless style.
-
Michael Kors combines soft suede with a slim wedge, designed to add modern elegance to off-duty wardrobes. I like the casual feel of the lace up front and the low cut shape around the ankle is super flattering.
-
With an almond shaped toe, side zip fastening and suede panel these boots from DUNE look super smart and would be a great addition to a “work” wardrobe.
-
These deep burgundy fringed boots are so cute! Another bargain from ASOS.
