These boots are the hottest of hot tickets and sure to impress every time. Consider an ankle high cut for a super sexy alternative to full-calf or even thigh high boots.

You get the foot hugging look and feel of a boot, but the upper ends at the ankle leaving the entire length of the wearer’s leg exposed to grab all the attention. Heels of at least 11cm ensure leg muscles are flexed for maximum sensuality. Simply delicious!

Ankle boots come in many sleek and sexy styles. They can be dressed down and worn subtly in neutral tones and without adornments to the office or an intimate cocktail party.

How daring are you anyway? It’s up to you with a sleek pair of ankle boots.

Whatever it’s made of, and whether it comes with or without buckles, tabs and poppers, the main effect of a slouch boot on your silhouette is to add pleated bulk to the lower leg. For this reason, it is best worn on the outside of skinny trousers or jeans, and has to be balanced up above with a correspondingly bulky top, scarf or coat. Remember that although brown slouch boots can be chic and smart, they are always casual-looking, and so are unlikely to work well with formal wear.

Short slouch boots are less ‘customizable’ than long. A well-fitting long boot can be pulled up to the knee to be worn with A-line skirts, for example, or pushed down to ankle-height with skinny jeans or a mini-skirt. (Worn with any short, plain skirt, slouch boots offer a great opportunity to show off brightly colored or patterned tights.) If you have trouble with boots generally because they won’t fit your calves, look for a slouch boot with a zip and a wider, more sculpted shape. If the slouch boot is too tight, you don’t enjoy the same degree of playful, loose crumple at different heights; if it’s too loose, it won’t pull up and stay up.

As with any style of boot, if you decide to buy one in good-quality leather or suede, invest in some protective shine or spray and use it. You’ll keep the boots looking good for a lot longer.

Melissa Button Boot: The Frye Melissa Button boot is the best seller out of the entire lineup. It has button-like features at the top of the boot shaft, and has the traditional pull on style. It’s very clearly boots made with a riding style in mind with its long and sleek shaft, despite the fact it doesn’t have the word “Riding” in its name.

Melissa Honeycomb Boot: This is one of the newer models in the Frye Melissa collection. If you prefer a touch of femininity with your boots but still like the slightly rugged appeal, then you will love the Melissa Honeycomb boot. It has a studded harness around the ankle part of the boot, not to mention it’s available in black or brown shades.

Melissa Tall Riding Boot: the design of this boot is very much for women who prefer straight riding boots. However, what sets it apart from other boots is the fact that it features vintage style lacing just below the mid-calf level. It’s a riding boot, yes; but it still has a romantic charm to it which will definitely make it appeal to women of all sorts.

Melissa Short Boot: This model is perfect for those who prefer the shorter harness boot style. It comes in amazing colors, and the boot goes up to about mid-calf, and what really sets it apart from the rest of the others is the fact that the lower portion of the boot tends to highly complement the upper portion with its curved and feminine design.

All in all, the boots in the Frye Melissa collection share one thing in common: all of its designs feature a distinctly sleek yet feminine appeal. It’s a perfect addition to the women’s Frye boots collection, and is a sure-fire great addition to any woman’s weekend wardrobe!
