These Once Unpopular Ankle Boots Are Everywhere Now

When it comes to ankle boots, there are specific silhouettes that reign supreme. The first style that probably comes to your mind? Classic black ankle boots. We're right there with you—there's a reason this iteration never goes out of style with its cool, goes-with-everything nature. Let's also note that printed, metallic, and velvet boots are also incredibly popular. But we've seen a resurgence of one style recently that feels so unexpected and fresh: white boots.

That's right—just like we spotted in heels a few months ago, we've seen a host of street style stars and It girls step out in all-white versions (despite the fact that white shoes haven't always been the most popular and were thought of as a "no-go" by many in the winter months). We'll always wear our go-to black boots, but a white pair feels incredibly cool and forward right now.

Interested in testing out this look? Go on to check out how fashion A-listers are wearing white boots right now. Plus, go a bit further to shop our favourite boots of the moment.
