Looking for a lace up heels outfit with a little something extra? Think a black halter mini, white ankle ribbons or pointed shoes with your favorite jeans.
These images include a mix of lace-up heels, other shoe styles and outfit combinations worth a closer look.
You can keep things simple or go all out with bows and sparkle. I especially love the white mini with straps winding up the calves. There are also a few dressier skirt looks if you want something beyond a short dress.
Outfits with ankle ties, pretty straps and more
black halter and ankle ties
We’re starting off strong with this gorgeous black-on-black look. The halter neckline and short ruffled hem are so pretty with those thin ankle ties.

If you want a lace up heels outfit without lots of extra accessories, start here. Add large hoops like the ones shown to finish it off.
peplum top and cuffed jeans
How cute is this black peplum top? I love the little shoulder ruffles with the cuffed blue jeans.
The black open-toe heels have rows of narrow straps across the front.
Try a wide dark headband if you want to follow the whole look.
brown jacket and floral hem
This white skirt may just be one of my favorites here. The sheer floral border looks so pretty below the oversized dark brown jacket.
The shoes are black cross-strap mules rather than lace-ups. Keep them as shown for this version, or try black ankle-tie heels as your own variation.
wide gray trousers
Don’t want to go all out with a dress? This white shirt and gray trouser combination is a lovely starting point.
I love the dark sweater draped over the shoulders.

The long hems hide most of the shoes here. If you’re adapting this outfit for lace-up heels, I’d choose shorter hems so you can actually see the ties.
pink set and gold details
I am obsessed with this pink combination. The patterned strapless top and mini skirt are already a lot of fun, plus those long side ties add another detail.
The black sandals have gold-colored decorations down the front. Try gold-tone bracelets to echo them like this look does.
black blazer and sheer florals
If you love an all-black outfit with a little sparkle, this one is for you. A long blazer sits over a sheer floral skirt, with pointed slingbacks underneath.
The dangling earrings and shiny rounded clutch are my favorite extras. These aren’t lace-up shoes, but the outfit offers a dressier direction for a heel swap.
graphic tank and studded straps
Who says you have to wear a dress with strappy heels? This black graphic tank and ripped blue shorts keep things casual up top.
I love the little studs along the crossing shoe straps. Add a structured handbag if you want to follow this mix of casual clothes and dressier accessories.
white flowers and ribbon bows
How gorgeous are these white bows? The pointed shoes and sheer floral leg coverings create a boot-like look, with long ribbons hanging down the sides.
Only part of the outfit is visible, including a sheer white skirt. I’d keep the rest simple if you want these floral details to be the main attraction.
dark mini and jeweled sandals
If you are looking for lots of little details, then this one is for you. There’s a fitted dark mini, a shiny purple bag and decorated black sandals.
The ankle bows and heart-shaped shoe ornaments are so cute. I’d keep the necklace simple like the one here rather than adding another big accessory.
white tank and laced pants
The lacing is on the pants this time! Two rows run down the front of the glossy black trousers, with a sheer white asymmetric tank above.
The shoes shown are black open-toe slides rather than lace-up heels. I love the small black shoulder bag with this simple color combination.
burgundy florals and tall boots
I am obsessed with the flared sleeves on this burgundy dress. The black floral pattern looks gorgeous beside the matching dark red bag.
This collage pairs it with tall black platform boots, not lace-up heels. For a different version, you could try black ankle-tie sandals and keep the burgundy accessories.
white florals and pale ribbons
This is actually one of my favorite lace up heels outfits in the selection. The pale ribbons wrap above pointed shoes, right below the cropped white floral pants.
The matching long-sleeve top has a scalloped neckline and little front openings. Don’t forget statement earrings if you want that same dressed-up finish.
front knot and cream accessories
If you are looking for something simple to put together, this one is for you. The pale mini dress has short flutter sleeves and a knot at the front.
I love the little top-handle bag with the light-colored strappy sandals. Keep your accessories in similar pale shades to try this combination.
silver flowers and a bow bag
The sparkle fans are going to love this! These silver-colored sandals have winding straps and large flower decorations. The matching bag adds a little bow too.
This image shows accessories rather than a full outfit. I’d pair them with a plain black mini dress so those pretty flowers stay easy to see.
brown blazer and matching boots
I love this dark brown blazer with the matching short skirt. The tall pointed boots and small chain-handled bag keep the brown going from top to bottom.

This is a boot outfit rather than a lace-up heel look. Save it for the color combination if you’re planning your own brown sandal version.
white mini and calf ties
How cute is this white mini dress? The fitted bodice opens into a flared skirt, with white sandal ties crossing up the calves.
This one doesn’t need lots of extra decoration. I’d keep the matching white shoes and let those long ties do their thing.
pointed heels and frayed jeans
Don’t want to wear a mini dress? No problem! Try an off-the-shoulder beige top with slim blue jeans and pale pointed lace-up heels.
The frayed hems sit just above the shoe ties. That little leopard-print clutch is my favorite finishing touch.
dark corset and a wide belt
There’s so much to love in this collage, from the floral corset top to the oversized brown belt. The short faded blue skirt is a cute choice with both.
Tall brown boots are shown here rather than lace-up heels. Keep the gold-tone jewelry and brown bag if you want to borrow the accessories for another shoe pairing.

open back and trailing bow
This dress is all about the back. I love the large opening and the long bow tails hanging below the short cream skirt.
The outfit is shown with dark tights and black closed-toe shoes, not visible lace-up heels. The matching hair bow is such a pretty detail to keep.

sheer skirt and chunky boots
Last but definitely not least, we have this full pale skirt with a black floral top. I am obsessed with all those sheer layers!
The black lace-up boots have chunky soles rather than the delicate heels seen earlier. They give this outfit a completely different look, especially with the skirt spreading around them.
