How to wear them?
Booties are tough to wear, as they visually shorten your legs. So its best suited for women with long, lean legs. If you really want to wear booties, pair them with a short skirt or shorts to elongate your legs as much as possible.

For the summer, sandal bootie would work best as they are perfect to show off your toes while still wearing the boot style. As the name suggests, a sandal bootie is a hybrid between an ankle boot and a sandal. This style allows your toes to breathe in the soaring temperature and is also a great transition piece for the fall.

On the lright is Givenchy's Lace open toe Sandal Bootie, available at 50% discount, click here to buy.

Pair slightly tough, open-toe booties with a floral or mini dress to get a modern yet feminine look. Black Booties gives a tough look while neutrals and metallics would lend a lighter touch. Greys have become quite popular.
