Boots, straight leg jeans - help!!!!

28 replies

ScaredOfCows · 06/10/2010 18:53

Can anyone suggest a style of boots for straight leg jeans. Have tried tucking them into my knee length boots, but I don't like that they are then baggy around my knees. Have tried jeans over long boots, but that doesn't look right either. I don't wear heels (am tall) so I need some ideas and inspiration.

Can anyone provide some???

I think you need to get skinny jeans and then they will be fine with the boots you have.

cyb · 06/10/2010 19:22

yes yes to skinny jeans.

brimfull · 06/10/2010 19:22

I wear boots similar style to these with straight leg jeans

or do you already have boots and need to know what jeans

Jbck · 06/10/2010 19:25

I'm liking ggirl's suggestion or a short biker type boot. Something chunky with either a square toe if you've little feet or a round toe if you're bigger than about a 5/6.

cyb · 06/10/2010 19:26

Do you wear jeans tucked into those gg? Dont they look a bit baggy and mannish?

brimfull · 06/10/2010 19:27

arf no I'm not tucking nothing in

cyb · 06/10/2010 19:28

why wear boots then?

brimfull · 06/10/2010 19:30

cos don't like any shoes in winter that are flat

unless you can recommend?

dexter73 · 06/10/2010 19:31

I wear boots under my straight leg jeans. Not knee high boots but ankle boots to keep my ankles warm!

cyb · 06/10/2010 19:32

ooh funny you should say that gg just ordered a pair of grey brogues from Next .

brimfull · 06/10/2010 19:32

brimfull · 06/10/2010 19:32

brimfull · 06/10/2010 19:33

cyb · 06/10/2010 19:34

needed something chunkyish and vaguely on trend for work. I have enough boots, believe it or not

dexter73 · 06/10/2010 19:35

link to your brogues please??

cyb · 06/10/2010 19:37

no brogues look like clown shoes with skinnies unless rolled up and bare legged

I will wear with tapered trews and my Gap curvy jeans most prob

cyb · 06/10/2010 19:40

here

I will imagine I'm someone from The Sartorialist when I wear them arf

brimfull · 06/10/2010 19:45

yes those are quite chunky ones
they're lovely

I was thinking the dainty ones like jazz shoes

ScaredOfCows · 06/10/2010 19:51

Thanks for suggestions so far. Am too wide of hip and thigh for skinny jeans (and think they best suit women in their 40's who have a better figure than mine).

Have been wearing them with suede pumps since the weather got colder, but getting chilly feet now.

I cant wear a dainty jazz shoe am too tall.

Scared why not try skinnies? You may have to wear longer tops but its worth it

brimfull · 06/10/2010 20:10

actually I may try skinnys

at size 16 will need a tent to cover my tummy but I have a really nice tunic that looks shit with straight legs so never wear it

cyb · 06/10/2010 20:14

go on! Be brave! you wont regret it

noddyholder · 06/10/2010 20:20

I like skinnies with socks and brogues

monkeyfacegrace · 06/10/2010 20:25

Get to Oasis, buy Cherry jeans and Jake Biker boots.

Fab combo!

ScaredOfCows · 06/10/2010 21:12

Oooh - liking Jake biker boots! Not liking skinny jeans on me though...

Feel a shopping trip coming on tomorrow.
