Inside any notable gentleman’s wardrobe, you’ll probably find ankle boots—versatile boots that reach your ankle or just above it. Ankle boots bring just the right amount of sophistication, edge, and character to your outfit and they have a long and interesting history dating back to the Victorian era.
Since your pants should typically fall just over the top of your boots, slim-fitting pants look best with mens ankle boots casual or formal.
Here are some of our top outfit ideas for men’s ankle boots:
Go Casual Sneakers are the typical go-to for a relaxed vibe, but suede or leather ankle boots can also complement a white t-shirt, slim fit or loose fit jeans, and an overshirt or a bomber, aviator, or zip-up jacket.
Our yellow pepper Nappa suede ankle boots are an excellent choice or our blue alligator embossed Chelsea sneaker boots where sneakers and ankle boots become one. Mens slip on ankle boots are also convenient and comfortable.
Smart or Business-Casual Mens ankle boots suede or with a lighter color have a more casual feel than classic leather and black boots. When you want a suave business-casual outfit for a day at the office, try straight-leg work pants or chinos, a patterned or button-down shirt, a blazer, and these Mezlan Omar plain black genuine leather ankle boots.
Go smart-casual on that date with our Belvedere black genuine crocodile ankle boots or our black Mezlan deerskin mens slip on ankle boots and your best black or dark jeans, a patterned sweater or shirt, and a double-breasted coat, a trench coat, or a blazer jacket.
Party or Formal Swap out your loafers, oxford shoes, and dress shoes for sleek leather luxury ankle boots like our Duca Di Matiste genuine leather mens black ankle boots. When it comes to party or formal wear, mens black ankle boots amplify blue, gray, and black suits. Brown boots like our Belvedere brown Chelsea alligator boots also look classy with navy blue, brown, and beige colored suits.
If you’re heading out to a party in your favorite waistcoat or dress shirt, go for a more head-turning style with lively patterns and pops of color, like our Esquire hunter green alligator monk strap ankle boots or our Antonio Cerrelli red leather python print Chelsea boots. Men’s snakeskin ankle boots really make a statement.
Whether you’re dressed to the nines for a party, attending a meeting in a business suit, or stepping out on a Sunday in a more relaxed look, the right mens ankle boots casual or formal will set off your outfit. We offer memorable designs, from the colorful and the glossy to the textured, patterned, and mens snakeskin ankle boots.

To care for genuine leather ankle boots:
You know you’ve found the right fit when you feel some resistance putting your foot in the shoe, but you don’t have to push hard to get your foot in. Your foot should feel snug, secure, and comfortable. If your foot easily slides into the boot and you have plenty of room to move it around, it’s probably too big. If it feels too tight, the boot is too small.
You can take steps to protect your genuine leather boots on rainy days by spraying them with a waterproof protectant spray or waxing them to add a layer of protection. Leather is a naturally durable material that repels water better than suede, which has more of a velvety surface and texture.
Ideally, you should avoid getting your suede boots wet, but if they do get wet, use a microfiber cloth to gently dab the boots and soak up some of the water. Gently brush the suede with a soft bristle brush and let them air dry.
