Boots and summer are words that just do not go together. At least as far as we're concerned. Boots are for the winter (OK, maybe fall too) or extremely rainy weather. Summer is for flip flops and sandals, right?

Not so fast. Mystyle is taking everything we thought we knew about footwear and flipping it on its head. They're telling is it's OK, and actually incredibly stylish, to wear boots in the summer. So long as you wear them right. Short boots, otherwise known as booties, are the perfect hot weather accessory.

When do short boots in the summer work? Well, it's best to wear them when you're rocking a short dress or skirt. When we say short, we mean something above the knee. Mystyle is totally right that if the dress hits below the knee, the look can appear totally frumpy. Cropped boots can be super cute with a little dress or skirt on and can save you the pain of making sure you have the perfect pedicure at all times.
