"Reader Andrea writes, &amp;quot;I just purchased a pair of black ankle cowboy boots, but I&amp;#x27;m not exactly sure of the best ways to wear them. Any style solutions?&amp;quot; We&amp;#x27;ve a few cute ways to wear &amp;#x27;em--and three affordable, click-to-buy outfit ideas!--after the jump. I happen to think cowboy boots are some of the chicest shoes on the planet--they&amp;#x27;re timeless in that Ralph Lauren kind of way, and they look amazing with jeans and a white T-shirt or a long skirt and a simple tank top. And your updated ankle version removes some of the yee-haw factor and makes them totally wearable for urban cowgirls everywhere. Here are a few cute ways to start adding them into your wardrobe (by the way, the pair we&amp;#x27;ve got here are from Franco Sarto and they&amp;#x27;re just $99 at Lord &amp;amp; Taylor): Sign up for Glamour.com&amp;amp;#8217;s Style Tips of the Week and Beauty Tip of the Day newsletters! LOOK #1: Get Girly. Since your cowboy boots are black leather, they have an automatic sense of edginess to them, and a smart way to temper that is by pairing &amp;#x27;em with something super-femme. I love the idea of making everything in the look feel kinda rock &amp;#x27;n roll (studded cuffs, leather jacket or slouchy knit vest) except for a sweet floral dress. The cardigan and tights keep it from looking too summery. LOOK #2: Be leggy in leggings. The cool thing about ankle-length cowboy boots is, they have a wide opening at the top, so your legs will look slimmer and sleeker as soon as you put them on (keep that in mind as a general tip while shopping for ankle boots--the looser/wider they are at the top, the thinner your legs will look). Take advantage of that by pairing them with leggings and a boyfriend blazer--just make sure your bum is covered, because leggings are NOT pants! LOOK #3: Add a little glitz. What&amp;#x27;s more American than cowboy boots with jeans? To keep this look from being too &amp;quot;meanwhile back at the ranch...&amp;quot; opt for a pair of skinnies you can tuck into your boots and go for a black, gray, or dark wash instead of something true-blue. Then add in a bit of dazzle with a sequined top (it&amp;#x27;s a great way to recycle your New Year&amp;#x27;s outfit!) and some statement earrings. There you have it, Andrea!
