Should boots still be worn over jeans?

[tinierclanger]

That's it. Any definitive answers?

Don't think you'll ever get a definitive answer on her but I think it still looks good!

The whole point of boots (leather at least) is to keep your feet dry and clean. And why get lovely boots and then hide them with jeans that go onto the wet ground and soak up water?

i love 70s style, so I'm going for it.

I've got mid-calf boots for this winter.

I hope so, I did it this morning. It's looked good for years so I'd have thought it still looks good.
What I was wondering about is- brown almost knee high boots over black leggings?

I wore that today DebiTheScot as it was so wet today and my brown boots are waterproof (but only cost me £45!).

Yes, as long as the boots are flat

Bugger, is it wrong to tuck your jeans into wedge boots then?

Agree with omni - I think the consensus this season is flat or low heeled boots over jeans is OK. Preferably mid calf. Chunky biker / riding boots ideal.

Hmm I'd have to see them

I can't do links omni but I have ordered these:

From dune

when on they slouch more than stay upright - should I return them?

Think they could go over skinny jeans.

Doh!

I have just bought some riding boots from Clarks - will def be wearing leggings and skinny jeans tucked in - this is my winter staple look!

Yes if you play down the rest of the outfit so its not too dressy iyswim - slouchy is good.

The Viv pirate boots would be best - I noticed that even M&S had a copy of them. In fact M&S had some very nice limited edition boots recently - I bought 2 different styles

I agree with TheBolter flat or low heel boots over jeans is fine

I prefer leggings with boots, worn with tunics, denim/checked shirts or big jumpers. I'm sure jeans are still ok though!

Thankyou both! I like them but have never done the jeans into boots before. Have got straightleg rather than skinny as I am not confident enough for skinny jeans being a size 16! It would definitely be a casual outfit omni.

Do you have a link to the M&S boots?

these are the Viv copys.

I bought these but in brown with a red zip up the back and the other ones have already fallen off the website though I only bought them 3 weeks ago - they are grey old fashioned workman boots - sort of victorian looking with a zip up the side. Like this

I have also got these on order from Next

If you can get the link to work.

i have some brown fly london ones i got following a recommendation on here - when i wear them over jeans i cant fasten them or if i eventually get them fastened thay pull my jeans down so my bum crack appears

Thank you! My boots are all flat so I think I am safe.

so flat mid calf boots are the way forward for with jeans and leggings then is that right?

Mine are like these but brown and longer, maybe a bit less chunky too actually. Pretty much knee length though but tough, I'm not buying new ones!

What about the ankle boots with jeans or leggings tucked in? Like these I quite like that look but wondered if it was a bit teenagery, and if I could do the school run (which is literally a run more often than not!) in them without killing my feet.

I'd wear them
