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.
From the side seam to the square toe, every detail of these mid-calf boots is perfection.
These are great because the shaft is slim, making it easy to fit underneath any denim style (minus skinny).

Give your skinny jeans new life with these shiny, wide-shaft boots.

If you're shopping for more subtle Western boots, look no further than these suede ones.
Sock-like boot shapes can be work with any jeans silhouette, and I'm loving the snakeskin effect on these.
Tabis are divisive, but they can really make a simple outfit stand out.
I love a pair of boots that really hug your calves. Plus, these ones are waterproof as a bonus.
On those days when you don't feel like dressing up, run your errands in baggy jeans and these Mini Platform Ugg Boots.

These worn-in leather boots will go well with barrel-leg jeans for a full-on yeehaw vibe.
Or opt for boots with a stiletto heel if you want something a little sleeker.
