Let’s take a break for a while from over-the-knee and knee-high cognac boots, and turn our radar instead to ankle boots in cognac color. Or in Minka Kelly’s case, ankle boots in the shade of light cognac. Take a look:

This year’s Esquire‘s Sexiest Woman Alive was seen leaving a salon in Beverly Hills, CA, looking urbane cool in lace-up, wedge, ankle boots, which she paired with a fringed and patterned gray open-front cardigan over a white top and skinny cargo pants. She finished the crush-worthy look with what appears to be an Alexander Wang Darcy Slouchy Hobo, and Ray-Ban aviators.
So, do you like Minka’s look? If you ask me, I actually love it. It’s perfectly styled for some casual R&R. The on-trend lace up, wedge, ankle boots are the perfect complement to the skinny jeans and the interesting sweater. Altogether, Minka Kelly here looked classically chic.
If you’re looking for a comfy pair of boots that add some height yet are easy on your feet, wedge ankle boots fit that category perfectly. They’re easy to walk in than the regular-heeled boots, and has that cosmopolitan look about them. Plus, they go well with just about any outfit. Get them with laces, too, to give your boots some sleek edge. So go, start off your ankle boot buying with these amazing pieces:
