Put your best foot forward with this adorable and versatile fall-footwear option. Ankle booties are the perfect shoe for transitioning seasons. These chic shoes play double-duty, looking perfect with shorts and dresses, to skinny jeans and dark tights.  If you do decide to wear tights with ankle booties, make sure they’re the same hue as your shoes so you create a sleek, elongated look.

With bold patterns and vibrant colors, pairing these eye-catching shoes can be tricky. If you’re looking to get the most out of your purchase look for fabrics like patent leather or suede. With these fabrics it’s easy to switch from day to night and can easily up the style factor when paired with traditional jeans and a tee shirt. For a fall-fashion investment, ankle booties are the way to go. They can quickly turn into your go-to shoe of any season. Stars Lea Michele and Blake Lively have been spotted on the red carpet worshipping this trend.
