The Only Boot Styles I'd Wear With Skinny Jeans

Seeing as I wear some combination of boots and jeans just about every day in the colder months (at least six days a week), I've become pretty picky when it comes to my pairings. After all, with so much practice, I like to think I’ve learned a thing or two about which combos look best and what feels the most current. Since skinny jeans feel like they're simultaneously among the most popular denim choices but also one of the trickiest to style with boots, today I thought I'd share the top three types that I like to wear them with. Keep reading to see what they are, read about why, and, of course, shop my picks for each.

1. Sock Boots

In my opinion, sock boots (and any other very slim-fitting ankle boots) are the easiest to style with skinny jeans because they slip under them, creating an elongating and really flattering look.

2. Over-the-Knee Boots

While knee-boots and midcalf boots can be easily paired with straight-leg jeans, over-the-knee boots not only look best with a skinny style but are also easier to get on your feet.

3. Hiker Boots

Something about the utility-inspired look of hiker and lace-up boots perfectly contrasts the sleekness of skinny jeans.

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing , and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
