10 Ankle Boots With Socks Outfits to Copy ASAP
Now that winter is in full swing, it's time to pack away your summer sandals and slides and trade them in for stylish yet snow-friendly ankle boots. The cold-weather shoes come in all colors, styles, and silhouettes, from classic black to optic white and from Western-inspired to skin-tight sock booties—so you'll have no problem finding a pair that works for you.

As it turns out, though, pairing ankle boots with socks can actually look very stylish, and fashion girls have nailed the combo to a T. Ahead, see 10 ways to wear the duo, and then shop our favorite socks to pair with all your ankle boots this winter.
