There’s nothing that compares to the comfort and style of a good pair of denim jeans. While fashion trends come and go from year to year, jeans remain a staple garment found in nearly every man and woman’s wardrobe. Of course, there’s a good reason for this: you can dress them, dress them down, or find somewhere in the middle. You can even wear jeans with a pair of your favorite boots, which is something we’re going to discuss more of in this blog post.
Boot-Cut Jeans
The easiest way to wear jeans with boots is to choose the appropriate cut. We’ve talked about this before on the MakeYourOwnJeans.com blog, but it’s worth mentioning again that there are several different cut styles of jeans, including slim, skinny, straight leg, wide leg, and boot. As the name suggests, boot-cut jeans have a larger opening around the ankle, which is used for wrapping over the tops of boots. This creates a natural, easy-on-the-eyes appearance that’s perfect for high-sitting footwear, boots included.
Note: if you’re going to sport a pair boot-cut jeans with boots, make sure the jeans go over your boots. Because they are so open around the ankles, this is really the only suitable way to wear them.
Straight-Leg Jeans
Don’t let the name “boot-cut” jeans fool you into thinking they are they only jeans you can wear with boots. Sure, they are the most popular, but there are several other cuts available from which to choose as well, including straight leg. While many men prefer the look of boot-cut jeans with boots, women often prefer straight leg. It contours to fit their body, creating the impression of a slimmer figure. Unlike boot cut, straight-leg jeans do not flare open around the ankles, running the same length throughout the entirety of the jeans.
One of the perks of wearing straight-leg jeans with boots is the simple fact that you can wear them either over or underneath your boots. If you have a pair of stylish knee-high boots, for instance, you may want to wear your jeans underneath them. Doing so draws attention to your boots while still maintaining the same, slim figure.
These are just a few of the many ways that you can wear jeans with boots. Feel free to experiment with other fashion combos not listed here to see what works and what doesn’t. After all, the only way you’ll know if an outfit looks right is by trying it for yourself.
