I’m an ankle-boot-year-round kind of girl. Shoe of choice, for sure. They’re tough without being over the top, match up with everything from jeans to dresses, and add a cool factor to any outfit. So when the folks at DUO reached out with the chance to select a pair of their tailored-to-fit boots, I went straight to the ankle boot section and honed in on the DUO Axil boots. Black leather, textured snake skin effect, double zips, and a pointed toe? Please and thank you.
DUO makes online shopping for boots and shoes a breeze by upping the success rate of getting your size right on the first try. You use the handy fit tips to take measurements of how wide your foot is, the size, and calf circumference (if you’re ordering tall boots). The process results in a more exact fit, which means a match made in shoe heaven for you.
I paired my Axil boots with a floaty top, and then balanced all that black with a pair of bright white jeans + a light faux leather jacket. The result is a spring-like neutral outfit with some toughness.
(Speaking of jackets, remember that killer drapey jacket from last fall? Now it comes in spring-friendly dove gray and is 25% off now with code SPRING25. GO.)

Love the masculine booties paired with the feminine swiss dot top. Such contrasts are my favorite. Great tan leather jacket, also.
Okay so I’m kind of obsessed with that jacket and then I saw it’s a Lauren Conrad jacket and I’m not even surprised. You look fantastic in it!
love the neutrals

I agree that ankle boots are a great way to add a little edge to outfits any time of year. I however can stand them with the heat and humidity of summer, so do give them up for a few months.
A great outfit of neutrals
Love these booties!

You look beautifull I love your blouse and shoes a lot
You are the queen of the ankle boot, and nobody rocks it as good as you! You always style them so well! I don’t have too many ankle boots because they never seem to fit me right, so I love the idea of DUO giving insight into the sizing. That’s genius!
I love a good ankle boot! Totally agree – they can be worn year round with dresses, skirts, jeans, etc. Great styling!
