How to Style White Boots: Jorts, Statement Jackets, and More

White boots sound way more intimidating than their black and brown counterparts, but if you're wondering how to style white boots, the key is to treat them like any other shoe! Sure, they're a brighter, more impactful shade than your go-to neutrals, but that's part of their magic; they can be subtle and simple, blending in with the rest of your outfit, or take it to the next level as an element of surprise. Just try swapping your black boots for a pair of white ones and see how it makes you feel—not to mention how it transforms even the simplest outfit into something special.

Though white boots seem like a spring or summer accessory because of their lighter color, they were all over the streets of New York, Paris, London, and Milan during Fashion Month, proving that the shoe can go anywhere and do anything. All that street style got us thinking (and styling!), so ahead, we put together some of our favorite ways to style trendy white boots.

Pointy White Ankle Boots

Pointy boots give you so many options for styling, but we're partial to the shorter style. A pair of pointy or almond-shaped peeking out from baggy light-wash denim, paired with an oversized button-down shirt and a jacket looks ultra cool—a classic outfit formula with a twist.

Knee-High White Boots

A mini skirt or mini dress is an easy partner for knee-high boots, but so is a slightly longer dress paired with a statement-making coat—one of our favorite fall and winter trends this year! Have fun playing with different combinations, as white knee-high boots can be styled in so many ways: '60s go-go girl like Sabrina Carpenter, sleek and minimalist, funky and fun, you name it.

Slouchy White Boots

The contrast between the sporty pullover anorak jacket, plaid mini, and slouchy boots with visible socks is so much fun!

White Cowboy Boots

Yee haw! When styling white cowboy boots, you can easily lean into the Western vibes like cowboy boot queens Bella Hadid and Kacey Musgraves and pair them with jeans or try something more boho, like this Parisian street style look we're obsessed with. Cowboy boots also look great with a floaty skirt and denim jacket, which conveys a very Y2K vibe.

Chunky White Boots

Play with proportions when styling chunky white boots. Obviously they're a great match for jeans, joggers, or carpenter-style pants, but they also look great with a patterned skirt or midi dress, topped with an equally cool coat.
