Ankle boots with tights and dresses

6 replies

Are these the sort of ankle boots I can wear with tights and a dress?
I don't wear heels at all so I'm thinking for meals, drinks but also just days out.
I'm clueless with shoes!
I've got narrow feet but fat legs so I struggle to find knee high boots that fit me (I've bought loads in the past!)

Leather Lace Up Block Heel Ankle Boots by Jones Bootmaker at M&S

This pair of ankle boots from Jones Bootmaker is shaped in a standard fit, with a leather upper and a textile lining for daily comfort. Lace up fastening gives a secure, adjustable feel, and the block heel adds a subtle lift.

They would go with a dress and chunkyish cardigan or wide neck/off the shoulder slouchy jumper over a light weight dress. I feel the weight of the boot needs to be balanced out.
A similar boot without laces and just the side zip, and maybe slightly more heel, more point, would be less heavy looking and go well with a more tailored look like a coat, long cardigan or wrap.
But I'm not on trend so can't really add much about fashion or style, I just love wearing boots and only own one pair of shoes.

I think tights and knee length/mini dresses look nice with a shorter length boot or a shoe boot. The longer length boots look nice with midi’s. Knee highs with mini skirts.
