1. WITH A SHIFT DRESS & HAT

Booties work great with a longer shift dress because they don’t take away from the dress like a taller boot might. And adding a hat gives the look an extra element of style, while still keeping it casual.

2. WITH WHITE DISTRESSED JEANS

White distressed jeans are really easy to play up with booties because you can wear pretty much any color or pattern with them without going wrong. These leopard booties have a lot of detail, so adding a simple grey tee is all that is needed.

3. CASUAL & DISTRESSED SIMILAR STRIPE SHIRT  ||  DISTRESSED DENIM JACKET  ||  SIMILAR BLACK DISTRESSED JEANS  ||  TAN BLOCK HEEL BOOTIES  ||  SIMILAR BAG  ||  SUNGLASSES

Mixing dressier booties like these block heel sandals with a casual, distressed look pulls everything together. Mixing nicer pieces with more causal pieces is the key to a successful street style look.

4. TUCKED INTO LEATHER PANTS BLUE OVERSIZED SWEATER (wearing a small)  ||  SIMILAR BLACK FAUX LEATHER PANTS HERE AND HERE  ||  BLACK STUDDED BOOTIES  ||  BLACK BAG  ||  SUNGLASSES

Tucking a taller pair of booties into leather pants elongates your legs, and effortlessly dresses up your look. Adding an oversized sweater keeps the look casual without taking away from the booties.

5. BLACK ON BLACK + A NECK TIESIMILAR WHITE TEE  ||  SIMILAR FAUX LEATHER JACKET  ||  SIMILAR BLACK DISTRESSED JEANS  ||  SIMILAR BLACK BOOTIES  ||  BROWN LEATHER BAG  ||  SIMILAR BANDANA  ||  SUNGLASSES  ||  GOLD CIRCLE BRACELET  ||  TURQUOISE RING

Black booties work with black jeans because they blend the look together without becoming a distraction. And adding a necktie draws your eyes up to balance the look out.

6. WITH A PENCIL SKIRTWHITE TOP (wearing a small, low in stock; similar top here)  ||  BLACK SKIRT (wearing an XS)  ||  WRAP BELT  ||  BLACK BOOTIES  ||  BLACK SHOULDER BAG  ||  GLASSES (only $12! and the perfect size frames)  ||  BLACK RING  ||  GOLD CHOKER ||  GOLD BALL HINGED BRACELET

Booties with a heel that come up slightly higher than your ankles work best with pencil skirts. Because pencil skirts are fitted, finding a boot that fits snug without too much gapping around your leg is key.

7. WITH A LONG CARDIGAN

With a longer dressier cardigan you can get away with wearing booties with a heel on them. With a simpler cardigan, adding booties with less of a heel would keep the look more casual.

8. ADD A VEST

Adding a long vest dresses your look up the same way a longer cardigan does. Pairing a vest with wedge booties plays up that layered, feminine look well.
