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 it. 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 quite gotten rid of your skinny jeans yet, they do work well with mid-calf or knee-high boots with a wider shaft. If you have, you can also messily stuff your wider-leg jeans into taller boots for a cool, more 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. From moto and Western styles to sleek square-toe and stiletto alternatives, keep scrolling to shop all the best boots that'll liven up even your most basic pair of jeans.

She's always trying to get ahead of the next big trend before it goes mainstream and loves discovering fashion brands with a unique point of view (Chopova Lowena, Sandy Liang, and Bode being some of her current favorites). She also spends an unhealthy amount of time online shopping for the perfect piece, and now that she's in L.A., she's rediscovering her soft spot for malls.
