Emily Ratajkowski Just Wore the 2018 Version of Skinny Jeans and Chelsea Boots

Skinny jeans and ankle boots are a uniform for many at this time of year, but what is the 2018 version of this trusty double act? Well, look to Emily Ratajkowski. The model is one of the many fashion girls who've been wearing straight-leg jeans with animal-print boots. It's safe to say it's the new-season update of skinnies and classic Chelsea boots.
Ratajkowski's shoes of choice have a muted python print and pointed toes, however, there are hundreds of animal-print boots for you to choose from. Snake, zebra, leopard, tiger… All of these wild prints look amazing with any wash of denim. The best thing about straight-leg jeans is that you don't face the awkward "Should I tuck in the boots or not?" styling question.
