Wardrobe reboot: London's best ankle boots

Just because the weather is getting colder, doesn't mean your mood has to. Wrap your feet up in a pair of ankle boots that tend to find the perfect balance between style and comfort.

Perfect for almost every occasion that comes your way, they are used to their maximum potential when paired with skinny-leg jeans. With a skirt, if you haven't been blessed with Kate moss pins, they often cut off the leg in an unflattering place, giving off the illusion of stumpy, chunky calves. Not what we're going for.

For the office, pair them with some tight black jeans and a tucked-in loose blouse for a sophisticated-yet-comfortable look. If you're feeling a little braver, try them with a pair of simple, tailored culottes and a protruding sock for a more layered effect. Add a thin roll neck and sleeveless jacket to enhance the layering.

For a more casual affair (but smarter than a just-rolled-out-of-bed day) dark denim skinnys look perfect tucked into a more interesting pair of ankle boots - the & Other Stories or Zara ones for example - with a loose cashmere jumper. Or a t-shirt. Or an oversized shirt actually. These boots chic-up almost any look.

ES magazine have picked out ten of the best ankle boots for this season, all for under £150.
