Now I’m sure you already know how much I love my black ankle boots from Django & Juliette, I mean I practically wore them EVERYDAY this Winter!
But now that Spring is on its way (oh and I’ve popped across the ditch for 6 weeks) I’ll be pulling out some of my other favourite ankle boots – the NUDE ankle boot.
These little beauties are a great transeasonal piece – wear them with your pants/jeans when it’s still chilly and rainy, but they also work really well with certain summer frocks because they aren’t as heavy as a black boot.
So here are three ways to wear a Nude Ankle Boot…. (mine are the gorgeous Tayla boots from Country Road – get them here)
With Cuffed Jeans – I often find that ankle boots and jeans are a hard combination to get right – do you tuck in? Do you wear the jeans over the top? So my solution to that was just to roll up my jeans enough for the boots to sit underneath them!
This is a great Spring option – it’s not so cold anymore, but a bit of foot coverage is required. A nude boot also helps lighten up your outfit so you aren’t wearing heavy, dark black into the warmer months.
I’m wearing a more relaxed style of boyfriend jean here, but the same principle applies for your skinny jeans too!
In between seasons – It’s not quite sandals weather, but tights and boots just seem to much. Throw on you nude ankles boots with bare legs and you’ve hit the transseasonal nail right on the head.
The nude boot will blend into your legs more than a dark boot so it makes your legs look longer and slimmer (never a bad thing right?) plus as above, you can make your clothes the statement, and just have a neutral shoe that doesn’t draw away from your outfit.
I know it’s a mirror selfie – but don’t hold that against me, I hate them too – but you get the idea right?
With chambray – by nature, chambray is normally quite a light coloured fabric and once again, sometimes a dark shoe or boot can look to heavy with it.
This is my go-to plane outfit at the moment – the pants and comfy and have a stretchy waist band, and the boots are lightweight and easy to take off (they didn’t even beep going through security – bonus!)
You could also substitute the chambray pants for a chambray or denim dress to the same effect. The light boots work really well with the light coloured fabrics.

I have two pairs that are slightly darker than nude: one suede (D & Co) and one leather (Maya McQueen)I love them and they’re absolutely so versatile.
ooooh they sound amazing! Versatility is key isn’t it 🙂
I just packed my nude boots to wear with bare legs (hopefully!) and spring dresses on my girls trip to Sydney this weekend. Fingers crossed its warm enough!
Sounds like the perfect shoe for it! I find that legs feel the cold the least so as long as you have a warm jacket on, you’ll be fine!
Let me know what the weather is like! I’m heading to Sydney on Monday 🙂
I’d been looking for a pair of nude ankle boots for ages knowing spring was coming, and when I was in Melbourne recently there was a sale in Florsheim and I found a pair of boots that were just the most beautiful shape and gorgeous leather, but instead of nude they were more like cream, which, you know, defeats the purpose of a nude boot as they wouldn’t blend in with my legs. BUT I loved them so much that I bought them anyway, and when I tried them on at home with a short skirt and bare legs, I was horrified to discover that the boots were the exact colour of my legs after all! Ah winter, what you do to me…
Best. Comment. Ever! I actually laughed out aloud 🙂
Love those looks – I have found ankle boots and jeans difficult too. I just can’t seem to get them to sit right (folded or not). I love that look with the chambray pants – I have them too and haven’t even thought to try them with my boots which are a bit more tan but might just work. Certainly something to try.
