If you're feeling like we're in a bit of an ankle-boot dry spell, you're not wrong—especially as far as celebrities are concerned. Knee-high boots and flats have reigned supreme this season, but that doesn't mean ankle boots are out by any means. It's a staple shoe style that we all own. On that note, there's some new ankle-boot outfit inspiration courtesy of Sydney Sweeney.
Sweeney has been spending a lot of time in NYC to film The Housemaid, and she packed a NYC cool girl–coded wardrobe to see her through her time there. The fact of the matter is that East Coasters have a few more months of winter to contend with, and that amounts to a lot of outfits to choose. While out on a rainy night in the city, Sweeney was photographed wearing an ankle-boot outfit that makes the boots look fresh, NYC-appropriate, and very 2025. She wore a fitted black leather jacket layered over a camel sweater with a leather miniskirt, sheer tights, and black leather combat boots with a sock-like fit. I don't know about you, but I'm newly inspired to wear some leather on leather with my ankle boots.
