Thanks to a blog reader, Sherri, for asking me to post “what to wear with the bootie trend” that I highlighted last week. Great question! Here are some suggestions of several different ways to sport booties late summer into fall…

1. A shirtdress (pictured shirtdress by Elizabeth and James). Wear booties barelegged with this dress during warm months and add a pair of opaque or patterned tights for Fall.

2. A ruffled, floral feminine dress (pictured by Fire/Nordstrom Juniors). This is a great way to incorporate booties into your summer wardrobe. Just throw on a denim jacket for a cute transitional Fall look.

3. Cropped or cuffed pants with a tee, jacket, or cardi. I saw a pair of military-styled cargo pants cuffed with booties in Lucky Magazine and loved the look. Below is a pic of a similar look featured on Anthropologie.com. Since the military look is a huge trend for fall, this is a great way to blend western booties into a military motif!

4. Cropped or cuffed jeans. Of course, a straight or skinny leg jean is going to look best cuffed! Throw on booties with a pair of fitted jeans, a long tee and a statement necklace for a laid-back, funky look.

These Citizens are currently my favorite straight-legs. They look great cuffed!

5. An above-the-knee skirt. Any casual or whimsical skirt, including denim, cargo or floral-printed, should pair well with booties. The thing to love about skirts is that most styles and patterns can be worn year-round simply by adding tights.
