Celebs are known for just going for it and owning their looks—despite what the fashion universe deems sartorially acceptable. This became particularly clear after going through the skinny-jean "mistakes" fashion A-listers make on the regular.
Well, it's not only skinnies that celebrities are styling in unconventional ways. Stars like Jessica Biel, Jasmine Tookes, and Victoria Beckham push the boundaries with their ankle boot outfits as well. Keep scrolling to check out the "don'ts" celebs (and our team) ignore when it comes to wearing their booties. Plus, shop our favorite ankle boots of the moment if you're feeling inspired to test out their perfect offbeat ensembles as well.
While skinnies are the common jeans of choice to tuck into booties, a looser pair where the jeans bunch is actually quite forward, despite the fact that it may not be the most streamlined look. Right, Hailey Rhode Bieber?
It's time to finally break that age-old styling trope that you can't wear navy and black together. Jessica Biel clearly agrees, pairing navy boots rather than black with her dark jeans.
Stirrup leggings are polarizing in nature. While we've seen them styled with sneakers a lot, the casual look over sophisticated pointed boots feels so wrong that it's right. We're here for this, Victoria Beckham.
Going for leather boots with leather pants like Jasmine Tookes is wearing here isn't always the preferred choice, because the booties can get lost in the look. But the leather-on-leather vibe is actually quite cool.
We typically see either a no-sock look with ankle boots or a more statement tall sock style. But if you're feeling ankle socks and want to show them off like Gigi Hadid here, go for it.
