Making Basic Jeans Look Elegant Is Easy—Just Add Autumn's Most Expensive-Looking Boot Trend
Nothing elevates denim like suede. Discover the enduringly chic combination below.


The unsung hero of my wardrobe and the backbone of so many of my best looks, jeans are a truly indispensable part of my capsule collection.
They’re the piece I reach for without thinking: trainers and jeans for a dash to the shops, a heeled pairing for work events. But right now, we’ve hit that sweet spot of the season—the perfect weather for my favourite styling formula: jeans and suede boots. There’s something elegant yet easy about this pairing as both are imbued with a relaxed energy. It’s not the obvious leather-boot match, but a softer, more interesting combination that feels chic and considered.
This week, Katie Holmes showed me exactly why it works so well, opting for high-waisted blue jeans styled with inky black suede boots for an outing in New York. Building on the polished foundation, she layered a black turtleneck beneath a navy jacket, creating a polished outfit that was grounded by the chic denim and shoe combination.
Soft, supple and luxe, suede boots have an expensive-looking quality that instantly elevates even the most casual pair of jeans. It helps that suede is often positioned at higher price points, which may be why the pairing feels so high end, even when your boots might come from an affordable brand. Whatever your budget, rest assured there are plenty of beautiful suede boot options peppering the designer and high street markets right now.
Ahead, discover the suede boots and jeans I’m recommending this autumn.
