Here's How Celebrities 5'4" and Under Wear Boots
If you’re not a petite person, you may not see boot season as a challenge, but let me assure you it can be. While not a huge inconvenience, choosing great shoes for a petite frame can be tricky because the height of the heel and the shaft can drastically change the appearance of your frame. Instead of merely prescribing what pairs to wear or not, though, we’re looking to some well-known petite ladies to set an example. Seven of them, to be specific.
Considering the below A-list talents not only have great taste but also the regular help of stylists, we’re keen to follow their lead when it comes to the best boot outfits to try this fall. This includes both classic combinations, like jeans and ankle boots, and more inventive ones, such as chunky platforms with printed cropped trousers. In short: You’ve got options. Read on for seven celeb-approved ways to wear boots when you’re a proud member of the 5’4”-and-under club.
Zoë Kravitz, 5'2"
Kravitz pairs a bold pair of trousers that hits right at her ankle with a super-chunky pair of platform boots.

Emma Roberts, 5'2"
Roberts sports a miniskirt-and-lace-up-boot combination. The mix of short hemline, ankle boot, and sheer tighs creates an elongated appearance.

Kim Kardashian West, 5'3"
Try wearing your sock boots à la Kardashian West: with a baggy pair of pants bunched and tucked in for an elevated athleisure look.

Yara Shahidi, 5'3"
Midi dresses sometimes fall more like a maxi on a petite frame, but these spiky-heeled ankle booties rebalance those proportions.
Shop similar pieces:
Reese Witherspoon, 5'1"
A timeless pairing of slim-fit jeans and ankle boots is great on any frame. We especially like how Witherspoon's ankles peek ever so slightly between her jean hem and her booties.
Shop similar pieces:
Nicole Richie, 5'1"
If you're all about creating an elongated line, go for a monochrome approach, seen here on Richie. Plus, when have slick, black pants and booties ever been a bad idea?
Shop similar pieces:
Ariana Grande, 5'0"
It's a Grande signature style move: super-oversize sweatshirt plus over-the-knee heeled boots. If you're looking for a less conventional pairing, this one's for you.
