Deciding which type of ankle boots with which type of jeans should we wear to look trendy and cool is not an easy job. When we can choose the right types of outfits, we look perfect and this perfect look is important to make ourselves confident. When we try to match jeans with perfect ankle boots, we sometimes get into a dilemma.

After reading this, you will get an idea to have a perfect matching outfit about how to wear ankle boots with jeans. So, let’s get into this. When we are deciding outfit for ankle boots with jeans, we have to consider so many variables. Because there we have many options of boots as well as jeans.

If we consider booties first, we see that there exist three types of ankle boots: short booties (which has a short shaft and does not cover up the toe), medium-length booties (which has a medium shaft and may cover the toe but doesn’t go above it) and tall ankle booties (which has a long shaft, it covers the toe and above toe in the leg).

Now come about jeans; jeans are of versatile types in our fashion world. Skinny jeans, wide-leg jeans, straight-leg jeans are some of those types.

Ankle boots with skinny jeans:


No doubt, skinny jeans are widely used by fashion aware people among all types of jeans. If we cuff the hem of our jeans and then try short ankle or medium height ankle booties, it will be such an amazing match. We have to be careful to have the cuff, not more than two or three fingers wide.

This style makes the leg look cleaner and more streamlined. This cuffed jean draws the attention of people to look at this small portion of your leg. But if the skinny jeans are not that long, we can just keep it a single cuff so a single silver line is seen of your leg.

By the way, we can do this style with longer jeans also by making a single wide cuff. In case of getting skinny jeans a bit longer, tucking the jeans into booties can be a good match. But at first, we have to make sure that the jean is skinny; otherwise, the extra part of the fabric will make a bunch near the ankle.

Creating faux crop skinny jeans is another easy way to style with booties. In this, we have to just roll up the jeans under. This style is mostly done with the short shaft or medium shaft ankle boots.

Ankle boots with wide-leg jeans:


Compared with skinny jeans, wide-leg jeans are more comfortable to wear. These feel like sweatpants. These jeans are much more usable for regular use than skinny pants. Moreover, going to sleep wearing skinny pants is a bit uncomfortable but wearing wide-leg pants is not.

After reading these lines, one thing which may come to your mind is that from now you should always wear wide-leg jeans and avoid skinny jeans. But no, there’s also much more information that is not included among these lines and those missing information may impact your decision. So yes, let’s know more about wide-leg jeans. Wide leg jeans cannot be styled up with old ankle boots.

To style up with this pair of jeans, a trendy pair of small shafted or Medium shafted ankle boots are required. On the other hand, old ankle boots go and get fitted with skinny jeans. The main reason behind this is when we wear skinny pants, the most highlighted and attractive point is the sliver line of the leg above our toe.

While in terms of wide-leg jeans pant, the silver line of our skin cannot be seen and the boots under the pant attract everyone. Besides, people look shorter wearing wide-leg pants. It can be approximated that wide-leg jeans are not our first choice over skinny jeans to style up trendy.

If we want to compare straight length jeans with skinny jeans, we will end up finding that wearing ankle boots with straight length jeans is handier and easier than wearing ankle boots with skinny jeans. A reason behind this can be skinny jeans sometimes need to be cuffed or rolled but for the straight length jeans, there’s no need to cuff or roll the jeans.

All three types of booties normally go with straight leg jeans where we just have to be careful that the hem of the jeans is not much far away from the top of the ankle boots. It sometimes gives an unflattering look to your outfit and the beautiful silver line of the leg cannot be seen which is most important to look attractive.

That’s why the gap between jeans and ankle boots should not be more than one inch wide. When we want us to look formal and trendy as well, straight leg jeans with ankle boots are the best option.
