Booty booty booty booty rockin’ everywhere. Who knew Rapper Bubba Sparxx could see into this fall’s fashion future when he wrote his hit song twelve years ago? Well, maybe he didn’t realize it, but booties and ankle boots are one of the most treaded trends for the season. Unlike thigh-highs that tend to be a bit sticky for the Miami “fall,” ankle boots are the prefect fit strut with into the new season
Go West
Both Fendi and Louis Vuitton created ankle boots that have a Western feel, almost a condensed cowboy boot in Fendi’s case, but with a twist. Choose from yellow, blue, pink crocodile-embossed version or the brand’s iconic F logo print with a two-toned heel with geometric cut out. Louis Vuitton’s Fireball Ankle Boot is a leather bootie available in black or white leather patent LV logo flames in cacao or mocha hues respectively flaring up the boot.
Go East
Known as the symbol of good luck, power and strength, dragon embroidery on Gucci’s Leather boots will breathe life into your fall wardrobe. The bordeaux leather boot features the dragon design, a nod to Gucci's creative director, Alessandro Michele’s, connection with mystical creatures.
Go Non-Traditional
Open toe boots? Yep, it’s a thing and both Prada and Valentino have options to make you believe. Prada’s Neoprene open-toe booties fit like a glove so much so that you’ll think you’re wearing sneakers, yet the metal stiletto heel signals that you’re not. Valentino’s Studwrap Open-Toe Ankle Boot might fool you into thinking you’re in a heel, but the adjustable crossing buckle closure on the front keeps you in snug.
And while most of the country is ready to pack up white after Labor Day, rebellious Floridians are still shopping for crisp alabaster, like Christian Louboutin's slender So Kate white calfskin ankle boots.
