FOR THICKETY CALVED WOMEN
I guess for some its hard to choose footwear that not only compliments the outfit, but the structure of your body as well. I have thick legs, but the one thing i hate are my calves. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING BOUT LADIES!!! If you are one of the unlucky Samoan girls who was cursed with THICKETY THICK CALVES......well WELCOME TO THE CLUB!! Thank goodness they now create AWESOME shoes for the the "big calved" chicks. The biggest problematic shoe are boots here's how to wear them.

The Best Pants for Ankle Boots
This one is definitely a no-brainer -- ankle boots work with any kind of pants. The advantage to wearing them over shoes or taller boots is that you get ankle coverage without the bulk of a knee-high boot. But -- and this is a big "but" -- the only pants that work well tucked into ankle boots are very tight ones. The pic to the top right is TORRID'S skinny jean for plus size women. Classic, Fitted or Regular boot cut Jeans are also good jeans in wearing a variety of boots. Wal-Mart carries the cutest classic jeans and there under $20.

Boots with Long Skirts
Whether they're flat or heeled, ankle boots and long skirts are a classic combination. While I personally prefer to pair them with a long skirt that is on the fuller side, I've also seen ankle boots paired fairly successfully with long skirts that are more narrow. Whichever style you prefer, the key is to show no leg. If the skirt isn't long enough to cover the top of the ankle boot on its own, add a pair of tights.

Short Skirts and Ankle Boots
This look is definitely a little more difficult to pull off, because a lot of women don't like their legs. But it works well because instead of showing no leg, you're showing a lot of leg -- the real trouble comes in when you only show a little leg. Look for skirts that are a couple of inches above the knee or shorter and skip anything that's too full.


DON’T fear wearing boots with leggings. While most plus size women stay far away from leggings, if you wear knee high boots and a long sweater, leggings work great for any shape. Just be sure your long sweater hits you below the waist about 2-4 inches, for the best look.
DON'T be afraid to try high heeled boots, even if you’re fairly tall. High heeled boots can be great for adding length to your legs, creating an overall slimming appearance for all body types. Flat boots can actually make your legs look stumpier. It’s best to pair high heeled boots with fitted jeans or dresses and skirts.

DON’T fall victim to the upcoming trend of ankle boots. While ankle boots can be flattering if you have slim legs, if you carry more weight on your lower half of your body, stay away from ankle boots. They can make your legs look larger than they are and even make them appear shorter.

PLEASE DONT ROCK ANKLE BOOTS IF YOU HAVE "THANKLES" LADIES!!
