10 Summery Ways to Wear Your Ankle Boots

Sick of your sandals and open-toe shoes? Give your good-old ankle boots some love this summer. While the style typically thrives in the fall, there are plenty of weather-appropriate ways to wear them during the warmer months. From adding a pair of booties to your go-to denim shorts look to subbing the style in for your typical heels-and-dress outfit combo, boots are a great way to freshen your summer looks.

To help you hop on the trend, we’re sharing our favorite celebrity outfits as inspiration. While Bella Hadid pairs her boots with a super-simple bodysuit and cool denim skirt, Jessica Alba opts for a classic look wearing a sleeveless dress and studded booties, proving no matter your personal style, there are ways to pull off boots in the summer.
