Ankle Boots are a must-have for Fall and I must say I’m quite impressed with the latest arrivals of lace-up  ankle boots. While some styles are focused on the latest trends (such as open-toes, studs, and clog-style adaptations), others are quite classic and can easily be worn for years to come.

Whether you choose a smooth or suede leather upper, a bold color or a neutral tone, an open-toe version or a clog-bottom style, I’m sure that you’ll find one or two styles of lace-up ankle boots that you love. They are a perfect transition shoe for Summer to Fall and are extremely versatile and fun to wear. Wear them with long leggings, skinny jeans, or an above the knee dress or skirt.

Here are our top picks for lace up  ankle boots…

There are many ways to wear ankle boots. The most popular is with skinny leggings or jeans.  Longer styles of jeans and leggings look better in my opinion, though I have seen a few people pulling off cropped versions with ankle boots.

Only skinny pants should be tucked inside ankle boots. Pants with wider legs will balloon out to much when tucked inside ankle boots. Instead, wear your wide-legged pants over your ankle boots. I find that ankle boots actually make for a comfortable and less bulky fit (than tall boots) when worn under wide-legged pants.

Skirts and dresses also look great with ankle boots.  Go for lengths that are at least a few inches above the knee (or shorter). Avoid wearing ankle boots with mid-length skirts and bare legs.  For a classic combination, you could also pair ankle boots with a long skirt.

Look great showing some leg with your ankle boots, especially while the weather is warm! As the weather gets cooler, you can wear them with tights or leggings for a polished and put-together look for Fall.

Wooden-heeled shoes are very popular this season and come in many attractive styles. There is no better artist when that artist is Mother Nature. The natural beauty of the earthy wood grain paired with quality leather uppers on a beautifully designed shoe will add style and a timeless quality to your look.

Popular design features of wooden heeled shoes include beautiful sculpted and cutout wedges, clog-style studs and other hardware on sandals, sexy leather cutouts, and stunning shoe designs that will easily take you through Summer and into early Fall in style.

Such unique shoe designs that we are seeing this season often make it difficult to classify a shoe as a sandal, a wedge, or a clog. They resemble classic styles but have a completely modern spin. So, whether you shun the classic clog or love the throwback style, you’re sure to find a style that will suit your tastes!

As a follow up to our recent post on classic contemporary clogs, here are our top 10 picks for wooden heeled shoes that don’t exactly fit the classic clog design.

The alluring Elie Tahari Sage Clogs (shown below) are cage style sandals with a beautiful wooden heel and platform.   Bold and stylish, these sandals will certainly stand out in a crowd!

Check out these utterly fabulous and sexy Frye Dara Honeycomb Slingback Sandals (shown below).  It’s all in the details as you can see! I love the studs details on the leather upper and the woven leather that surrounds the wooden platform.

So chic are these Jimmy Choo ‘Urban’ Sandals (shown below) with their rich suede leather and golden studs atop a gorgeous earthy wooden heel and platform.

You’ll be right on trend in these Clog Sandals from Marc by Marc Jacobs (shown below).  I love the gorgeous leather and the tie front. The chunky heel and platform is well-balanced by the simple, yet flattering, 2 piece styling on the leather upper.

These edgy MIA Limited Edition ‘Adelphie’ Wedge Sandals (shown below) are styled with antiqued studs atop a sassy wooden wedge heel.

So unique and stylish are these Rachel Comey Badger Twist Platform Sandals (shown below).  I love the lines on this sandal!  The unique leather straps and ankle wrap on the upper and the earthy solid wood heel and platform just seem to come together perfectly. They are a bit pricey but the quality is superior and the style is timeless making this a worthy investment.

These Ralph Lauren Collection Timila Sandals (shown below) have classic styling with studs and a braided leather rope around the ankle. The wooden, tapered high heel is offset by a generous platform for comfort, and the burnished leather upper are studded with gold.

The See by Chloe Wodden Wedge Sandals (shown below) is without a doubt my favorite of this selection. I love the modern, yet earthy design of these shoes and they will easily take you from Summer into Fall.
