When booties hit the fashion scene about a decade ago, no one really knew how to style them.
Even so, you knew youhadto have them.
You may have felt cute at the time, but looking back, you may have done things differently.

They can range in height from modest heels and flats to sky-high stilettos.
Some booties are cut loose, while others hug like a sock and can be heeled or flat.
The practicality of booties still stands true today.

But one major thing has changed: we now have more insight into how to style them.
At this point, they just feel too constricting.
A nice block-heeled bootie (pictured above) is perfect for every day.

We love the beautifulLouie Stretch Sock Bootie by Reformationfor the perfect heel height and updated square toe.
But today’s fashionistas aren’t wearing Mary Janes with their modest midi skirts.
Instead, they counteract the classic silhouette with sporty white sneakers or edgy ankle booties, saysFashion & Mash.

Let’s not forget thechunky lugged sole booties or lace-up style bootsthat have been everywhere as of late.
We have to admit this may be one of our favorite ways to style ankle booties.
Just check that the boots have a bit of a heel.
The minimal silhouette elongates the legs, is easy to walk in, and amps up the feminine aesthetic.
