While you probably own a fair number of ankle boots — or booties, as you might refer to them — it's time to upgrade your closet. This year's fresh trends mean updated silhouettes like cowboy boots, and there are so many outfit ideas that come with just this one shape alone. So imagine the possibilities ahead when we tell you we've gathered looks across the board that are grounded with all types of ankle boots. Some have lucite heels or come in animal print, some are metallic, and some have unexpected buckles, studs, or cutouts.
