To make it really simple here is a brief outline on how to choose your perfect boot:
 | Ankle Boots: - This is a funky option. Great with pants, worn with tights/leggins and a skirt.
Suits: Skinny ankles, long legs, shapely legs Avoid: Long skirts past the knee; this can make you look frumpy. Tube mini-skirts; it can give the wrong leggier look. Great: Dresses finishing just above the knee, subtle A-line bubble miniskirts and wonderful with the skinny leg jeans or pants with a slight fabric scrunched over them. |
 | Mid-Calf Boots:
Suits: Style accentuates the wonderful calf muscles and you can make a point of difference from the standard knee-high boot. Avoid: Skirt & the boot meeting to close together. Great: Worn with shorter or longer skits. Very cute with minis and opaque tights or dark pantyhose. This style accentuates the calf muscle, so if you do not wish to accentuate this area it is best to avoid this style. |
 | Tucking your Jeans:
There is the perception that if you are a bit wider on the top of your legs you should never tuck in your jeans. Again, it is all about giving your legs the correct illusion. First of all you need skinny jeans to do this as wide or boot leg jeans are going to add too much weight to your legs & boots. Also, a knee high boot of the same tone as your pants will make your legs look like the boot joins the jean providing the right silhouette with no bagginess on the sides, nor the wrong length of boot that completely cuts you leg in half. |
Knee-High Boots:- VERY IMPORTANT – The boot must fit snuggly around the leg. Not too tight that almost looks suffocating and not too loose, which looks awkward too. This type of boot can be tricky if it does not fit well to the shape of your leg.
For the Cuddlier Leg: It can be difficult to find a boot to fit around the top of your leg. For this reason, stretchy boots can be very flattering and also comfortable. If you are not so tall, avoid huge contrast with opaque and boots. You want to create a longer leg illusion.
Watch your heels as well. The thinner the heel the heavier your leg will look. Wedges are a great option; chunkier heels give the right illusion. Remember it is all about proportion.
For the Thinner Leg: For skinny ankles or calves you may want to opt for the Western style boot. Slouch boots are also are great choice.
Finally, remember that like any accessory, you need to keep them in scale with you. Huge items can dwarf petite women, while tiny delicate ones can make a tall or larger person appear bulkier and bigger. So apply this principle with the heels of your boot too.
