No matter how stylish your look is, you still need to get from A to B. Those of us with busy lives and no inclination to totter around all day on stilettos will be relieved to know that the hottest footwear solution of the season is the humble lace-up ankle boot. A wondrously rugged counterpoint to your prettiest floating dresses, as well as a clever way to show just a hint of ankle when paired with cropped trousers, these boots are a brilliant investment as they last forever – as proved by our gallery of stylish girls, all of whom are wearing vintage boots. Take inspiration from this season’s catwalks of Christian Dior and pair with a zingy pair of ankle socks for a look with substance as well as style.
