Plan ahead. Avoid mixing contrasting colors, such as white booties and a black dress. This will “cut” your legs in half, and make them appear too short.
If you have a pear-shaped body, your hips are wider than your shoulders. Opt for a simple pair of ankle boots with a heel. If you have an inverted triangle shape, your shoulders are wider than your hips. Try a pair of brightly colored boots. Heavily-embellished styles will also work. This will give the illusion of curvier legs. If you have a rectangle body shape, your hips, waist, and shoulders are the same size. Try a pair of detailed boots, as this will give the illusion of curves. If you have an apple body shape, your widest point will be your waist or torso. Opt for a pair of brightly colored or heavily-embellished boots. This will draw the attention away from your waist, and give the illusion of curves.
If you are short and slim, go for heeled boots that cover the ankle. This will make your legs appear longer. Avoid boots that end at or below the ankle.
If you are tall and curve, skip the cuff details. Too much detailing along the cuff will draw too much attention to your calves, and make them appear thicker than they actually are. Instead, opt for plain cuffs. If you are tall and slender, you can go with any style of boot.
If you must wear a longer dress, consider wearing some opaque tights that match the color of your boot. The ideal combination is black boots and black tights. This will make your legs appear longer.
Try pairing longer dresses with fancier boots that have slimmer heels and toes. Casual boots, with wide cuffs and chunky heels will look better with shorter dresses.
If you are short and slim, try bubble skirts, rompers, and mini dresses. To make your legs appear longer, wear some opaque tights that match the color of your boot. If you are petite and curvy, try an A-line dress that ends just above the knee if you are petite and curve. Avoid wearing dresses that end below the knee, as this will make your legs appear shorter. If you are tall and curvy, try a long tunic-type dress or a semi-voluminous dress with dark tights. This will help make your legs appear more slender. If you are tall and slender, try a dress that ends just above the knee.
Pair boots with pointed toes and slender heels with fancier dresses. Pair boots with rounded toes and flat or chunky heels with casual dresses. Try sleek dresses with boots that have sleek heels. If your dress is simple, then you can go wild with the accessories. Try cowboy styled boots with high-waisted dresses for that vintage feel.
If you are wearing simple, leather boots and a boho styled dress, try adding a wide, leather belt, some feather earrings, and a rustic necklace made from natural stones. If you are wearing a simple dress with leather, studded boots, try adding a matching, studded leather belt, and some silver jewelry. Leather ankle boots, a sleeveless tribal patterned midi, a long necklace, and a fedora all look fabulous for a boho look.
