Regardless of the season, are an essential wardrobe item. In spring, you can find celebs, influencers, and fashion editors like moi wearing 'em with tiered and . In the fall, you'll peep the bomber jackets and leather pants combo.
In the winter, it's shearling , , and wool pants. There are so many ways to wear 'em. But one of my absolute fave ways to wear ankle boots is with jeans.
I get it—it can be a lil tricky trying to figure out how to style ankle boots with jeans. You probably have questions like, "should the hem go outside or inside the boot?" Or, "how high is too high when it comes to wearing cropped denim with the boot?" Or, maybe you're even wondering which jeans ( , , or both?!) work best with ankle boots. Well, I've scoured through the best street style photos to help answer these q's visually! I also found the necessary pieces you will need to hit this outfit combo like a pro.
With Cuffed Jeans Cuffing your jeans is the recipe for success, especially if you have a printed boot that you want to show off. The trick is to have the new cuffed hem rest just below the top of the ankle boot (so you can't see it, even when you take a step). Once you know where you want your cuff to lay, work backwards from there.
I always think two rolls for a cuff looks best and locks in the cuff for the entire day without being too bulky. With Baggy Pants If you've been itching to give baggy pants a try, consider pairing them with ankle boots. To get this look, partially tuck your jeans in some Timberlands.
Add a blazer, hoodie, a luxe bag, and voilà. With a Bubble Hem Bubble hems are popping off (ha, get it?) everywhere right now but what if I told you, you can create your own version of the trend? Put on a pair of , grab a colorful scrunchie, and bunch up the material so that your cute combat boots get some shine. With a Cargo Vibe Go for a cargo version of a Canadian tux, then add some rocker booties (a pair of black pointed ones that feature belted studs on 'em).
The below pair from Steve Madden is so edgy, but you can also shop this pair from . With a Lil Skin Showing I know I just went on and on about the perfect placement of a cuff, but there is more than one great way to cuff jeans and wear ankle boots. My second favorite way is rolling your jeans up to your calf—in doing so, you break up where the hem of your jeans would naturally meet the top of your ankle boots and open up the look.
With Slouchy Jeans Sometimes, it's cool to wear slouchy jeans that graze the ground ever so slightly. Wear a pointed-toe or square-toe boot so it peeks out and makes a statement. With Some Flair Get into some jeans with a fancy hem! Your ankle boots will help accentuate the head-turning detail and we love that! With Tucked Pants Tucking in your jeans is an easy solution for both rainy days and superior style.
You won't have to worry about your pants doubling as a mop for all the puddles on the street, but you may have to field lots of compliments! With Platforms How about a barrel style jean with platform ankle boots? Bring some polish to the get up with a blazer. With Cropped Jeans Keep things easy and go for a raw-hem crewneck with cropped jeans (no need to cuff these), then add the : animal print boots. With White Denim White jeans are still jeans, okay? Go for a monochromatic feel and layer up with different shades of white—but don't be afraid to add some contrast with black ankle boots and a bag.
Orrrr, you can go full-out monochrome with ivory booties.
