Who doesn't like ankle boots?

Ankle boots are one of the most common footwear models for the off-season. A huge variety of models, colors, heel heights and design features allow you to choose a model for every taste. But ankle boots are very dangerous in another way: not all of their options are suitable for every body type.

Who are ankle boots not suitable for?

Some models can highlight flaws that you would like to hide, or spoil advantages. For whom ankle boots are suitable, and what to do so as not to focus on the shortcomings, you will learn further.

Height

Firstly, not all models are suitable for small girls. Ankle boots visually reduce your height. But there are a few tricks that make them suitable for short people too.

1. Create a single vertical line in the image. To do this, choose the right color: avoid contrast, match the color of your shoes to the shade of your tights or trousers.
2. The shape of the nose of the product. An elongated nose visually elongates the leg, making it slimmer and more graceful. A blunter one, on the contrary, creates the effect of a voluminous line of the hips and draws attention to them.The universal shape is almond-shaped (slightly rounded, elongated).
3. Wedge heel. It should be graceful, not large, rough. Many short girls, in an attempt to increase their height a little, choose a pair with a massive wedge heel. But this additional detail creates a disposition effect and makes the silhouette heavier. In order to visually increase your height, a neat platform or small wedge heel in combination with a thin heel is suitable.
4. Silhouette. For short girls, it is very important to maintain a light silhouette. To do this, you need to choose the right trousers that will not puff up at the bottom. Skinny jeans, leggings, and cropped ones are suitable.
5. Lacing visually adds height and makes the legs more graceful. But straps located across, on the contrary, make them visually shorter.
6. Low-heeled shoes make your legs look shorter. Especially if they are combined with midi skirts.
7. Short (but not too short) skirts and shorts with tights that match the color of your shoes visually increase your height.

Figure

1. Heel. The selection of heel thickness depends on the figure: proportions must be respected. Those with curvy hips should avoid thin high heels. This shape visually makes the hip line heavier, and due to disproportions, the effect of “obesity” is created. On the contrary, such heels are suitable for girls who are too thin and petite, but massive ones are not. They look comical.
2. Product height. The principle of selecting height is simple: in order for the leg to look slimmer, the shoe should end where the foot already Total. If it is needed add volume - end at the very wide ankle area. Also suitable for height correction.
3. Large, massive shoes with wide decorations are not suitable for those with very thin legs.For such a figure, it is better to choose options without unnecessary accessories. In the ankle area, the pair should fit snugly: lacing or a lock is used for this.
4. Ankle width. A problem that many girls worry about. In this case, you don’t have to give up ankle boots. The main thing is to choose the right model. You can use voluminous shoes: with beautiful cutouts, wide. With the help of such a pair, the effect is created as if a thin leg has “drowned” in wide, voluminous shoes.

Tips: how to avoid imbalances

The rules are simple:

• low heels are not suitable for trousers that are “pipe” or too tight (like leggings);
• the longer the trousers, the higher the heel;
• choose a bag depending on the shape of your ankle boots;
• combine a slightly longer (below the knee) skirt with a scarf. This will create a very proportional image;
• If you wear a skirt or dress, choose thick tights rather than transparent ones.
