These 33 Boots Are Guaranteed to Make Your Jeans Look 10 Times Chicer

As we get deeper into the colder months, I'm sure you, like me, have been busy bringing out all your boots now that the weather actually calls for them. For those chilly days when you don't want to think too hard about what to wear, an easy jeans-and-boots combo will never fail you. Throw on a coordinating knit sweater or cardigan and a warm coat and you're good to go. The only thing you might have to think about when it comes to the lower portion of your look is what jeans go with what boots. If you haven't gotten rid of your skinny jeans yet, they do work well with mid-calf and knee-high boots with a wider shaft. You can also messily stuff your wide-leg jeans into taller boots for a cool, undone look.
Wide- and barrel-leg jeans can fit over boots with a wider shaft, and straight-leg jeans always look perfect with trusty ankle boots. Keep scrolling to shop all the best boots that'll liven up even your most basic pair of jeans, from moto and Western styles to sleek square-toe and stiletto alternatives.
