Rocking The Rocker Look With Ankle Boots

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011

Aside from music, people are attracted to rock because of its fashion style. The rocker look is so out there, so rebellious, so fascinating and so appealing. This is why rock fans do not just want to get in on the music. They want to get in on the look as well.

Achieving the rocker look may appear simple, and it actually is, but you have to be able to draw the fine line between pushing the boundaries of fashion and committing a fashion faux pas. An easy way to rock the rocker look is by donning a fabulous pair of ankle boots. There are many, different kinds of ankle boots which means there are also many different ways to rock the look. Here are some rock-worthy tips.

1. One rock look basic is leather. And by leather, we mean leather jackets. The rock look is all about tasteful excesses so if you can rock a pair of hot leather jeans, then go all leather. Finish the rocker leather wear with a pair of leather ankle boots. You can also try accessorizing with leather bracelets.

2. For your leg wear, it does not have to be just skinny jeans. You can achieve the rocker look with leggings, ripped denim skirts or even boot cut jeans—preferably ripped too. Of course, the kind of bottoms that you wear will affect your footwear, but the great thing about ankle boots is that they are flexible and you can wear them with a variety of outfits.

3. Going for the rocker look is the perfect excuse to over accessorize. The idea here is to attract attention, so bring out your flashy accessories. You can start with a big, bold neckwear and then work around it. And for this particular look, you can also violate the one arm/wrist only for bracelets. Go crazy on the gold and silver bangles—just make sure they don’t fall off your arms.

Remember that rock is about self-expression, regardless of what others will say. So make sure your rocker look represents who you are. And whatever look you come up with, don’t forget to finish it off with a hot pair of ankle boots.

Tips When Wearing Ankle Boots with Skinny Jeans

Friday, February 25th, 2011

We all know that one of the best ways to wear ankle boots is to wear them with skinny jeans. Whether you choose to wear flat ankle boots, gladiator sandal boots, or high heeled ankle boots, you can never go wrong with a pair of skinny jeans. But even when wearing them with skinny jeans, there are certain factors you need to take into consideration so you can rock the look without alerting the fashion police.

1. First of all, make sure you have a pair of pants with a good fit. Go one size higher if you feel your skin bulging over the top. A little bit of a high waist on your skinny jeans is actually considered fashionable.

2. When choosing the color and style of your ankle boots, remember that your choice reflects the look that you want to project. If you are feeling a bit playful, flat ankle boots will be more appropriate. For a sleek, urban vibe, pointy toe ankle boots will do the trick. To up the hotness factor, nothing beats a pair of high heeled ankle boots.

3. A little contrast isn’t bad but it would be preferred and much more fashionable, if your ankle boots and skinny jeans are of the same shade. You don’t want these two competing for attention. Opt for darker shades. It creates the illusion of longer and slimmer legs. If you are unsure about which dark shade to choose, remember: you can never go wrong with black.

4. Here is where it’s okay to go for contrast: choosing your top and your accessories. Pair your skinny jeans and ankle boots with something loose and billowy. Wearing something tighter is a little bit over the top. Match it with some chunky fashion jewelry like hoop earrings and a multi-layered necklace to finish off the look.
