When the sun begins to shine in the spring time it does not mean that the cold weather is behind us, so a pair of womens ankle boots could be the ideal footwear to bridge the two seasons.

Taking a look at the styles that are available at the moment, Look magazine stated that ankle boots with a strap are a "perfect transitional buy" that will toughen up even the most feminine of styles of dress that are currently on offer.

Not only will the boots look good for the spring, they will be a great purchase that will work all year round, the publication added, meaning that getting a pair now could be a good investment for the coming 12 months.

If this modern style of footwear sounds like your thing, take a look at the Whitney boots from Red or Dead.

Available in either black or tan brown, the ankle boots have an unusual strap detail with a buckle from the top of the boot to the sole.
