Ankle boots can be a little difficult for a lot of women to wear because they tend to make the calves look thicker. But when they're worn well, ankle boots are also one of the most dynamic looks going. Here are some of the season's hottest styles in ankle boots for women.

Ankle boots with open toes and/or cut out uppers are all the rage this season, and they don't get much hotter than these killer boots from Marciano. With so many cut-outs they barely qualify as boots, these sexy ankle boots feature front laces, 4.5" heels, .5" platform soles, and multi-textured uppers.
Looking far more expensive than its $55 price tag, this ankle boot has a posh, streamlined look that's easy to pair with skirts or pants. Available in lots of great colors, including red, gray, black and tan, this faux suede boot has concealed platform soles and sky-high heels. But the icing on the cake is the buckled belt that hits right above the ankle.
These Jessica Simpson ankle boots are cute, versatile and sexy. Available in black or brown suede, they combine slightly slouchy uppers with 3.25" heels, making them perfect for skinny jeans, or wearing with simple skirts and dresses.
Looking for a pair of flat ankle boots with lots of style? Check out these stunners from Marc Jacobs. The uppers are something to behold in dark wine textured patent upper, and the design is simple and classic. Though they're actually more like mid-calf boots, they still offer shorter shafts, nearly non-existent heels, and style to spare.
For a glamorous, dressy pair of ankle boots that aren't too fussy, have a look at the 'Apollo' from Stuart Weitzman. Available in black or red, these sexy ankle boots have glossy, patent leather uppers, and 4.5" stiletto heels. Either shade is bound to get attention, but the red is insanely dynamic.
If you're jumping on the "open toed boot" bandwagon this season, then you should definitely check out these sexy ankle boot from Charles David. The open toes, rich suede uppers and 3.75" heels would be enough to turn heads on their own, but the crossing leather straps around the ankles really command attention. Available in four great colors, my favorite is the light camel.
Simple and stylish, these ankle boots have a classic design that would allow you to wear them for years to come. And they're available in all the right colors, including black, dark gray and wine. Ideal for pairing with pants, suits, skirts or dresses, these ankle boots feature 4.25" heels and slightly pointed toes.
