Stitch Trim Ankle Boots

There is something about a black-and-white combination that we just can't resist. Case in point: these gorgeous ankle boots. Made in a refreshing chalk-white hue; set on a black sole which also sports a sturdy 5cm heel; and finished with intricate stitch-trimming, these boots are a standout pair that will boost your style currency whenever you slip into them. Keep the monochromatic vibe going by pairing these boots with a black top, an off-white pleated skirt, and a crossbody bag from the same colour family.
