How to Style Pointed-Toe Kitten Heel Booties This How to Style Pointed-Toe Kitten Heel Booties This Winter ❄️

I recently bought these pointed-toe kitten heel booties, and I’m obsessed! They’re cute, comfortable, and budget-friendly—always a win. If you’re wondering how to style kitten heel booties in winter, here are 3 pant pairings I’m loving right now:

1️⃣ Flare Jeans – These booties pair perfectly with flare jeans. The slight heel gives you a little extra height while elongating the foot, making flare jeans look even more flattering.

2️⃣ Wide-Leg Trousers – Looking for a winter-friendly work shoe to replace heels or flats in cold weather? These kitten heel booties are the perfect option. They look polished, chic, and pair beautifully with trouser pants.

3️⃣ Wide-Leg Jeans – I love how these booties instantly elevate wide-leg jeans. They’re perfect for date night or anytime you want to feel a bit more put-together while still wearing jeans this winter ❄️
