Cropped jeans/trousers and long boots.... Mistake or chic ?

[NomDePlume]

I like the idea of this in theory for winter and have seen it looking great, and not so great, on all shapes and sizes, so I figure it may well be a good thing to try... What do you make of the look ? I think it may well be a bit more wearable and less 'horseriding/wellie-chic' as tuck-your-long-jeans-into-boots idea, am I wrong ?!

i wore it last year, quite liked it, will do again. but i tuck my jeans into boots too, sometimes.... so no help at all really!

Try it and see? Do you have long boots you can wear to go and try on cropped trousers (or vice versa!)

depends were you live - if you live in a hip and happening place like a big city it probably looks ultra chic and stylish. If you live in an Emmerdale Farm type of place it will look odd

I love this look, it was a firm favourite with me last year. Also eeks out a little more wear of your summer crops but like hoxtonchix i also tuck jeans into boots.

I can't wear the jeans tucked in look as i just looks stupid, but I will wear long boots and cropped jeans, i think that looks nice.

Personally I think it has to be jeans or at least a heavy fabric.

I live in a city, so not a problem.

I do have long boots to try it out.

I think it can look quite sexy for a night out if you go for a smarter tailored cropped trouser, killer boots and a strappy top.

I'm going to do it.

Hurrah !

A licence to shop

High boots though or flatter ones? (Or either!)

Higher, probably. Kitten heel at the lowest.

the prob wiht jeans in boots sithat you get a baggy knee thign going on
loevt he crops and boots idea

Ooh yes, I love wearing boots with cropped trousers. I was wondering today if it was cold enough to do it (it wasn't).

I did crops and boots last winter and plan to do it again. Loved it. I do flat boots, or wedges as I can't be doing with heels and sore feet.

Didn't know it was a "look" for this winter. Hurrah!

I always wear boots with cropped trousers, and have done for yonks.

NEVER wear them tucked in though. Yuk!

hmm is a good smart cas' look too id say

It looks great on my 8yo.

I think it looks ridiculous!

i did it last year too - have nice pair of cropped tweed trousers and used to wear killer boots with them or with my frye type boots i wear more casual jeans

I say chic. I think boots with a heel with cropped are hard to carry off though.
