Top Ankle Boots

By Desiree Stimpert, About.com

Given that some of this season's hottest styles include leggings, long skirts and extremely wide pants, it's only natural that ankle boots will be one of the top footwear styles for fall. Check out these top picks for styles ranging from casual to dressy.

1. Steve Madden "Mitchel" - Buckled Ankle Boots

With a 4" heel that's rugged and chunky, and dual buckles on the side, the big advantage to these ankle boots is that they're totally casual, but loaded with style. Available in dark brown or black, both colors are fab and versatile.

2. Jessica Simpson "Break" - Sexy Suede Ankle Boots

Just in case you thought only Jessica's sandals were sexy, here's an ankle boot that will keep you looking hot through the fall and winter months as well. With 4" heels, these stretch suede beauties are suited to everything from jeans to skirts, and come in brown or blue.

3. Report "Rosetta" - Slouchy, Gathered Ankle Boots

These boots take me back to a place in the 80s that I'd hoped I'd never have to revisit, but they are going to be <b>hot</b> this season, so I had to include them. With gathered fronts, these slouchy ankle boots have 3.5" heels and come in black or teal.

4. Lucchese Ankle Boots with Western Flair

With western styling and gorgeous red uppers, these boots are hot enough to turn even the staunchest city girl into a ranch hand. Also available in black or brown, boots like these should only be worn with jeans or casual pants.

5. Steve Madden "Akibus" - Contemporary Ankle Boots

Nearly a bootie, these stylish and unique ankle boots offer up the perfect look for autumn. With gathered leather vamps and 3" stacked heels, these boots are the ideal compromise between dressy and casual. Available in distressed brown or a black.

6. Anne Klein "Carsyn" - Dressy Ankle Boots

If it's a dressy ankle boot you're after, these Anne Klein pretties will definitely do the trick. With 2.25" heels, and uppers of suede, leather or patent, there's a version and color to suit every type of wardrobe. The decorative strap adds a nice classy touch.
