Color
Even in pinkish-nude hues, colorful booties can be hard to coordinate. Do as Kendall Jenner and pair your rainbow shoes with an all-neutral outfit. The more monochrome, the better!

Shiny
Patent leather boots make more of a statement than most think. Because of their high-shine surface, make sure you incorporate other textures and patterns into your outfit. Jamie Chung's wool skirt and plaid top equally draw the eyes as the shoes. If you do wear another shiny texture, like the actress' leather jacket, opt for something in a different but complementary color.

Wide Mouth
Wide-mouth boots can oftentimes look too casual or frumpy, as it doesn't hug the ankle like most booties. To elevate the shoes, stick to leggings or skinny-leg pants, which will make your stems look smaller compared to the slouchy boot. For more dramatic contrast, Olivia Palermo created a top-heavy effect with an oversize vest, which makes her bottom half look even slimmer.
Retro
When it comes to retro or '70s-inspired boots, your outfit can make the difference between costume-y and cool-girl chic. When wearing block-heeled, streamlined shoes, like Naomi Watts, pair your footwear with slouchier silhouettes. The actress' gauchos and oversize layers balance out the sleek shoes.

Lace-Up
Lace-up booties, or urban trekkers as they are called among the fashion set, definitely exude more casual vibes than other boot iterations. However, because there are so many elements to this shoe (shoelaces, heels, aggressive soles), it's best to keep your outfit simple, like Ciara's tank-and-jeans combo or even a basic mini-dress.
