Okay, so I’ve been seeing this “ankle boots with tights” look everywhere lately, and I finally decided to give it a shot. I’m not gonna lie, I was a little intimidated at first. I mean, I’m no fashionista, but I do like to try new things, and this felt like a good way to spice up my usual outfits.
Picking the Right Stuff
First things first, I needed to figure out what I already had in my closet. I dug out a few pairs of ankle boots: my trusty black ones, a pair of brown suede ones, and some edgier ones with buckles. For tights, I had the basic black opaque ones, some sheer black ones, and a pair of thicker, ribbed ones. It’s really cold here, so no way for any super thin tights.
The Experiment Begins
Day 1: The Safe Bet
I played it safe and went with my black ankle boots and black opaque tights. It was an easy look. I threw on a simple sweater dress, and honestly, it looked pretty good! It was comfy, warm, and felt put-together without being too much.
- Boots: Black leather ankle boots
- Tights: Black opaque tights
- Outfit: Grey sweater dress, simple silver necklace
Day 2: Branching Out (Slightly)
Feeling a bit more confident, I tried the brown suede boots. I paired them with the same black opaque tights. I added a knitted skirt and a chunky cardigan. The color of the boots don’t match the color of the tights but it was acceptable.

- Tights: Black opaque tights
- Outfit: Knitted skirt, cream-colored chunky cardigan, brown leather belt
Day 3: Feeling Bold!
This is where I got nervous. I decided to try my black buckled boots with the sheer black tights. I wasn’t sure if it would be too much, but I went for it anyway. I paired it with a shorter, black, A-line skirt and a fitted top. I added a scarf to add a color splash. Surprisingly, I really liked it! It felt a bit more dressed up and a little edgy, but still totally wearable.

Day 4:Trying something warmer.
I chose my black ankle boots with the thicker, ribbed * ribbed ones are more thick, I decided to try a mini skirt with a white shirt and a sweater. I feel warm and comfortable.
- Boots: Black ankle boots.
- Tights: thicker, ribbed ones.
- Outfit: Mini skirt, white shirt, sweater.

Don’t be afraid to play around with different colors, textures, and styles. You might be surprised at what you discover! My feet feel warm and I think I will keep trying different combinations in the future!
