If you're not skinny enough for skinny jeans or leggings, what boots do you wear over your bootleg/straight leg jeans?

I wear straight leg jeans due to my thighs not quite suiting leggings or skinnies.

Obv these do not tuck into boots so well. so what boots do you wear?

Over or under jeans?

i wouldnt wear high boots over these jeans -id wear ankle boots under the jeans and depending on length of jeans the height of heel -though i prefer medium for comfort and i feel dumpy in flat

I wear ankle boots over the jeans - along the lines of Fly London Mary or Osmond

Slightly O/T but surely anyone can wear leggings with a mini skirt/dress over the top? They just look like thick tights.

I wouldn't - there's just too much fabric to arrange well. Won't the knees end up looking all rucked up and untidy?

The only jeans I'd wear with knee-high boots are skinnies. With straight jeans, I'd wear ankle boots/heels but tbh the jeans ending at the top of the boot/shoe, which seems to be the trend, is not a great look for me cos it makes my legs look shorter so I avoid it.

Bootcut I only wear with cons, trainers etc.

OP you could cover thighs by wearing tunic length dress/top with leggings and boots like Silk suggested?

I would agree with the ankle boots, if the tops are wide enough you can kind of tuck them in a little (straight legs though, not bootcuts).
