Booties
Top Women's Booties

By Desiree Stimpert, About.com

Ranging from sleek and chic styles, to retro and trendy versions, booties are hot this season, and here are a few of the hottest.

Dress Booties for Women - Nine West 'Phantom'

Chic, sleek and sophisticated, these simple booties feature side cutouts, open toes, and 4" heels. But the best part about them is that they're so easy to wear, because their streamlined design means you could pair them with everything from jeans to skirts and pants to dresses. Available in black leather or purple, gray or black suede.

Cutout Booties - Sergio Zelcer 'Darma'

Open toes and cutout sides make these booties almost more like shoes, but they still have the high uppers that bootie fans adore. And when you get a load of what they look like, I'm guessing you won't care about such technicalities. The suede uppers and metallic gold trim and heels make these booties one of the dressier styles on the list, and they're not short on sex appeal either. If you're looking for a pair of "night out" booties, you should definitely give these stunners a look.

Suede Booties - Marc by Marc Jacobs '694906'

These stunners from Marc Jacobs are actually tall enough to make it onto my ankle boots list, but they're short enough that I think fans of booties will appreciate them as well. How could they not? I'm not sure I've ever coveted a pair of short boots more than these lookers. The chunky and glossy 4" heels, .75" concealed platform soles, and dark red suede uppers are enough to set these booties apart from the crowd, but the excitement doesn't stop there, as they also feature grosgrain ribbon wrapped around the middle, and tied in a bow at the ankle.

Booties with Bows - Dollhouse 'Kim'

These adorable booties represent Fall's ruffle and bow trend in a fantastic way. With suede uppers, almond toes and 3" heels, these feminine booties are on my wish list in both brown and black. While they'd look cute with pants, I'd really love to see these paired with tights and a simple dress.

Ruffled Booties with Open Toes - Elizabeth and James 'Lola'

The open toes on these booties will keep the trendiest among us happy, while the 4" stiletto heels are ideal for anyone looking for booties with extra sex appeal. But it's the zipper-trimmed ruffled fronts on these Elizabeth and James booties send them straight to the top of the list. Available in metallic pewter or, my personal favorite, black suede.

Velvet Lace-Up Booties - Moschino Cheap and Chic 'Belle Epoque'

I love velvet footwear, and these velvet booties are no exception. With high, thick heels, platform soles, and pretty ribbon lacing, these black velvet booties look so luxurious, they make me want to throw a party just so I can wear them.
