Ankle boots are cute, hip and perfect for fall. But pairing them with skirts can be tricky. Here are some inspiration pictures and ideas for finding the best skirts to wear with your new booties!

A simple rule to remember: The heavier the boots, the slimmer the skirt. The opposite is true as well; with daintier boots, try a wider skirt. There are always style exceptions, but this rule makes things simpler.

                         HEAVIER BOOTS + SLIMMER SKIRT

Pair platforms and chunky heeled boots with pencil skirts, slim maxis and other minimalist silhouettes.

These cute platform booties have a tough edge to them. They look great combined with Harley Davidson-esque fashions (like this shearling leather vest). A slim denim pencil skirt balances the chunky platform and hardware on the boots and lets them take center stage.

                         DAINTIER BOOTS + WIDER SKIRT

Pair feminine heeled oxfords and pointy-toed booties with A-line, pleated and flared skirts, and other feminine and flouncy silhouettes.
