Tell your teen to forget about sandals! This summer, girls’ footwear is all about boots… fringed boots!

So what’s the right way to wear this warm-weather footwear? Check out these celeb examples:

Whether dressed for the red carpet or a shopping excursion with girlfriends, Ashley Tisdale (left) always has the look teens want. Here she pairs fringed boots with a pair of dark skinny jeans. Ashley’s summery top and fun sunglasses add a seasonal element to the outfit.

Actress Joy Bryant (right) struts her stuff like the former model she is. Combining a pair of fringe boots with a knee-length flowered skirt, Joy pulls together a cool and casual ensemble. By switching out the jean jacket for a fitted blazer, she can go from casual to dressy in an instant.

Sometimes she looks like she needs a new stylist, but this time Mischa Barton (left) got it right. Her moccasin boots and Native American-inspired mini are perfectly complementary, and her simple white T-shirt keeps her from looking like she’s in costume.

Becki Newton (right) steps out in a pair of rhinestone-studded fringe boots. The Ugly Betty star donned an adorable strapless dress at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in NYC. The dressy elements on these heeled boots makes them perfect for dresses and jeans, but pairing them with Daisy Dukes might just send the wrong message…

Miley Cyrus (left), on the other hand, shows how not to wear fringe boots. Her train wreck of an outfit is made even worse with suede royal blue footwear. She might have looked cool with the layered tees or the neon boots, but wearing them together — along with those holey tights — is just plain wrong.

Other celebrities sighted wearing fringe boots in summer include Hilary Duff, Vanessa Hudgens, Carmen Electra, Kim Kardashian, Sienna Miller, Lauren Conrad, Kate Hudson, and Kate Moss.

You and your teen will find a fabulous selection of fringe boots online at Zappos, Amazon, Totem Pole, and Sheplers.

Okay, so there are pros to wearing warm-weather boots: you’ll look trendy, and you can skip a few pedicures. But don’t you think the con of having sweaty, stinky feet totally outweighs the benefits?
