White boots outfit ideas: How to wear white boots to add flair to any outfit

White boots have been particularly on trend for a couple of seasons now, and this is a look that isn’t going anywhere soon. Adding a pair of white boots can add an unexpected element to an outfit, and can be an especially good look for the warmer months when black or dark boots can look too ‘heavy’. So, how should you style your white boots? How to wear white boots? We will give you lots of white boots outfit ideas.

Best white boots

Before thinking about how to style them, let’s take a look at the most stylish white boots you can choose.

Troy @thethriftanista above (read her style interview here) wears her white boots with a denim jumpsuit and on-trend belt bag. Note how she rolls up the hems of her pants to show off her boots.

Now onto some specific white boots you could choose…

Dream pairs

If you’re looking for a classic, minimal style of white boot that is purse friendly, the Dream Pairs boots (below) could be ideal. They have a relatively high heel so you may want to save them for days you won’t be on your feet too much. The block heel makes them easier to walk in than skinny stilettos. They come in white or a good choice of neutrals and red, and reviewers say they get lots of compliments when they wear them.

Cushionaire

If you want to combine two trends in one – the white shade and chunky lug soles – then how about the Cushionaire Chelsea boots below? You could wear with your jeans, or you could bring a little “toughness” to your summer dresses outfits. They have a memory foam insert to make them more comfortable to wear.

Chinese laundry

Another option with a chunky sole, but this time with a heel. The wide heel of the ankle boots below will help you distribute your weight and balance to make them easier to walk in than many other heels. Reviewers say they are super comfortable and don’t feel like you are walking in heels.

Skechers

Another big trend recently has been the lace-up, hiking style boot that you can wear day-to-day rather than just for walking. You could tuck your skinny jeans or leggings into the Skechers boots (below) or wear with your dresses and skirts.

White lug sole boots

The pull-on lug sole boots (below) come in a choice of neutral shades. You can opt for white or cream, both of which are an off-white shade rather than bright white.

Zip boots

The big zippers on the ankle boots (below) give them a bit of a vintage feel, while still being very modern. If you like a smaller heel, these could be a good option as the heel is just under two inches. Reviewers say they are comfortable and fashionable.

Peep toe booties

If you’re choosing your booties for warm months, then opting for a bootie-sandal hybrid could give you the look of boots while keeping your feet cool. The peep toe booties (below) give the look of boots while being summer appropriate. Reviewers say they look great with jeans, and most say they are very comfortable.

Cole haan white booties

A pricier option for you, but the Cole Haan booties (below) should be an investment that you can wear year after year. One reviewer even said these are the nicest boots she has ever owned, while another said she liked them so much, she immediately bought a second pair.
