It may only be spring but with the recent fashion weeks showing us what we will be wearing in autumn/winter now is a great time to get ahead of the fashion crowd and start wearing next season's clothes now.
If there is one shoe trend that is perfect all year round and is bang on trend for autumn/winter it has to be the ankle boot. Not only are they are a style classic that will never go out of fashion but they are also a big trend for this year.
At the Chanel autumn/winter 2011/12 catwalk show the models wore flat ankle boots with Herringbone tweeds and skinny jeans. Meanwhile Giles Deacon opted for lace-up ankle boots with a peep toe at his fashion week show, and at New York fashion week Altuzarra featured vampy, platformed ankle boots.
The wonderful thing about a good pair of ankle boots is that they are so versatile and hardwearing. You can literally pair them with most things in your wardrobe. They look equally as good under, or indeed over, jeans or trousers as they do with skirts and dresses. Depending in the style of women's boots they can also be dressed up so will look good for a day’s shopping, in the office or even on a night out.
What's more they are perfect at this time of year when the weather can be a bit changeable as they can be accessorised with summer's flirty dresses for a perfect spring time look.
Ankle boots also don't have to be confined to black or brown, they can be a number of bright, bold or even metallic or pastel colours depending on your mood. They can also be high-heeled, mid height, wedged or flat depending on your style and needs. As long as they hit the ankle then you won't go wrong.
Because ankle boots never date or go out of style, by investing in a pair now you'll be able to wear them now for a great spring look and then when autumn comes around you'll have a fashionable pair to take you right through until next summer.
For a fab new pair of ankle boots you can't go far wrong with a short pair of Uggs or can try Bench, Clarks or Diesel.
Lace-up Ankle Boots is a style that appeared in all major designers fashion presentations and for that will be one of the main trends to fall this season. This look is an evolution on the always popular and beautiful ankle booties trend.

Ankle boots are not just for winter they are the perfect choice for the spring mild weather days when it is warm enough for shorts or mini-skirts but still cold enough to allow the usage of short length boots. One trend that help to enhance the look in those spring days are cut-outs that expose the skin of the foot and leg.

The winter has been characterized by the use of high boots. We have seen sharp or flat, with strings, ribbons or lace. Their reign seemed absolute, but it seems that this long boots will now have to compete with this new alternative: these ankle boots.
The designs of these boots are a little inspired by architectural structures. Large platforms, solid and stylish. In addition to the stature that we provide, these boots can be quite comfortable, because they ensure stability thanks to its broad base.
