White booties are versatile and easy to style. Pair them with blue, black, or white jeans for an easy outfit. To mix it up, wear your white booties with skirts and shorts. You can even wear your white booties on nicer occasions with dresses, skirts, or suits. White booties go with every color and so many different styles of clothing, so get ready to enjoy experimenting with different outfits.

Steps

Method 1

Method 1 of 3:

Styling with Jeans

1. 
   1
   Pair your white booties with blue jeans for a casual look. Blue jeans will be the most casual look, great for hanging out with friends or running errands. You can pair your blue jeans with a white top if you want to coordinate with your booties, a black top for contrast, or a colorful top to mix it up.

   • A long gray cardigan can make this outfit perfect for fall.
2. 
   2
   Wear black jeans with your booties for slightly more formal occasions. If your work lets you wear black jeans, pairing them with white booties is a great way to make the outfit a little bit fancier. Black jeans and white boots go well with a blue or white button-down.

   • Keep in mind that straight-cut black jeans are dressier than faded, cropped, or skinny black jeans.

   Create a bold, all-white look with white jeans, booties, and a top. You have to be fairly confident to pull this one off, and make sure it’s a day where you won’t really be outside much so there’s no chance of getting your white outfit dirty. Try pairing a loose white blouse with skinny white jeans, or a tighter white top for looser jeans.

   • Consider adding a pop of color to your all-white outfit with a colorful handbag.

   Wear white booties with cropped jeans that end above your boots. Cropped jeans are a great item to style with white booties. You can get cropped jeans that just brush the top of your booties, or ones that show a little bit of ankle – it’s up to you.

   • Wide-leg crop jeans will give you a more dramatic look, while skinny cropped jeans will look cute and playful.
5.

   Try double cuffing your full-length jeans above your boots. Roll up the jeans at the bottom hem twice in crisp folds. Make the folds wide enough that your cuffs reach the top of your booties or a little higher to show a bit of ankle.

   • You may have to unroll and try again a few times before you find a height that you like.
6.

   Go for a more casual single cuff look as an alternative. Single cuff your jeans by rolling up the bottoms 2 to 3 inches (5.1 to 7.6 cm). Your cuffed jeans should end just at or above the tops of your white booties.

   • The single cuff isn’t for everyone, so if seeing the hem of your denim bothers you, you can always go back to double cuffing.

Method 2 of 3:

Keeping it Casual with Shorts and Skirts

1. 
   1
   Wear white booties with jeans shorts or dress shorts. While it’s most common to see people wearing boots with full length pants, wearing jean shorts or dress shorts with boots is a fun way to change up your normal summer outfit. If you’re wearing short shorts, pair them with a loose top for a balanced outfit, but if your shorts are on the longer side, you can wear a tighter top.

   • Wearing shorts with high-heeled boots can visually elongate your legs.
2. 
   2
   Try a colorful mini skirt with white booties. Wear a skater mini that flares out, a bodycon mini, or even a denim mini skirt. When wearing a mini skirt, you might want to pair it with a looser, longer top to balance how much skin you are showing. Mini skirts look great with crop tops or graphic tee shirts.

   • Wear tights under a mini skirt in the winter to stay warm and stylish.
3. 
   3
   Pair a denim skirt with white booties for a flirty look. Denim skirts are a cute option for spring and summer outfits. Your favorite denim skirt will look great with white booties, whether it’s a pencil skirt, a mini skirt, or even a full length denim skirt.

   • Wear a crop top with your denim skirt for a more casual settings, or tuck in a nice blouse to step it up a notch.
4. 
   4
   Avoid wearing white booties with athletic shorts. Athletic shorts are comfortable and can even be fashionable, but they look better when paired with running shoes, sneakers, or flip-flops. Sweatpants and athletic shorts are just a little too informal to look good with booties.

Method 3 of 3:

Dressing Up with Dresses and Suits

1. 
   1
   Dress up a short summer dress with white booties. White booties go well with all kinds of short summer dresses, from colorful floral prints to all-white dresses. The booties will instantly make a sundress look just a little bit fancier, and perfect for a date.

   • Don’t wear your white booties if you’re going to the beach though – they’ll be a real pain on the sand and will probably get dirty.
2. 
   2
   Try a long, flowing maxi dress with heeled white booties. Heeled booties instantly make your maxi dress seem classier. For a smooth look, wear a maxi dress that extends beyond the tops of your booties, so that you can’t see any ankle.

   • Maxi dresses look great with lots of accessories like beaded necklaces, bangles, and earrings.
   • Wearing booties instead of sandals with your maxi dresses means you can wear them in the winter, too.
3.

   Pair your favorite jumpsuit with white booties. Different kinds of jumpsuits are good for different occasions– a cotton printed jumpsuit is great for casual wear, while a linen jumpsuit is dressier. Dress up your jumpsuit with a formal blazer or dress it down with a leather or denim jacket.

   • White booties with heels can also lengthen your legs if your jumpsuit is a little too long when you wear flats.
4. 
   4
   Wear white booties with a colorful pantsuit for powerful business attire. White booties are great to pair with pantsuits, because white goes with every color, from the brightest reds to the softest purples. White booties and a colorful pantsuit is a bold look – so try it on before at home before wearing it to an important meeting.

   • For a job interview, you should probably stick to a more conventional black pantsuit with black shoes.

  White booties can be a fun and unexpected way to spice up any look. For unexpected pop, try an all black look featuring a pair of black skinny jeans, a black blouse and the white booties.

  If you want a classic look, combine a pair of medium wash high-waisted mom jeans, a white button down and the white booties. For an edgy look, on the other hand, pair your white booties with a printed mini skirt and white band-tee.
