Some ladies may balk that it is still too early for boots, but not this year.  Summer booties have stepped up and became every fashionista’s favorite footwear!

It may be hot and sunny, but when you want to look sexy on the streets, leave the sandals at home!  Short denim shorts, comfy t-shirt, sunglasses?  Complete the look with a pair of summer boots that goes right up to your ankles!

Admittedly, it is not a comfortable shoe to be in, so in as little as half an hour under the sun, you’d probably wish for your flip flops and hoped you did not leave them home.

But do not worry, there are the open-toe booties that Rachel Bilson was seen in recently:

Better right?  You’d love it more if you learned that open toed summer booties come in a lot of styles.  TotallyMyStyle.com’s top three are:

Wedge Booties with Studs

Peep Toe Canvas Boots

Peep Toe Leather Boots

These lovely boots are much more comfortable and would go with just about anything from sundresses, to night gowns, to tees!  Also, if you noticed, we picked really low cuts.  These are not necessarily sandals, but they are not last season’s cowboy boots either.  In effect, summer boots mix style and comfort.

Also, because it is summer, do stay away from black and other heavy colors.  Summer fashion is all about color and prints, pairing this with black just does not make sense!

Further, do accessorize.  First, if you are going to wear a pair of ankle length summer boots, you might want to put on anklets.  But thin anklets will not do it, wear something wider and more noticeable.

Also, bangles would go well with summer boots.  With the big and clunky look of summer boots, bangles would just be perfect!

Lastly, if you are going to wear leather boots, you can certainly top it all off with leather accents!
