Straight jeans with ankle boots?

Or do they need to be skinny? Thinking of jeans tucked in as opposed to out over.

Thanks

hmm not tucked in , will look like a pirate

Depends if they are piratey/steampunk type boots - if so, tuck in jeans and go with the look.
If the boots are very plain, hide them beneath the jeans, not worth showing off.

I think ankle boots are ok to be visible with leggings/jeggings - you don't really get much choice there.

No.....skinnies tucked in, straight will be too loose, not fitted enough,won't be flattering .......sorry

That's okay - pretty much what I thought. So now I need to find the perfect boots to wear with skinnies in, straights out and comfortable enough not to squish my newly grown bunion Wink!

Thanks

When you find some Millie let us know. I need some too as its seems the knee length boot thing is over and I'm feeling a little frumpy which is a shame because I'm not sure ankle boots and skinnies is going to be a good look on me.

Yes they need to be skinny if you are wearing ankle boots IMO

Snowmummy, I tried these on in HoF a few weeks back and quite liked them. Didn't buy them at the time as I had shown Ash to DH online and he preferred them. However, am not sure the Ash boots would work under jeans? Have you seen any you can link to? Smile

I kind of like both of those but I just can't see me with those and skinny jeans. I haven't seen any that I think I could wear with skinnies!

I have a pair of flat chelsea boots that I now wear with skinnies tucked in. But if I was wearing straight jeans I'd wear the boots under the jeans; otherwise I look like I am wearing bicycle clips.

OP, if you like those Ash boots, ASOS do something very similar and a lot cheaper here. They come in lots of colours.

OP. look at the recent "new look Marant look a like boot" thread I was on as it discussed similar looking ankle boots. think the New Look ones are sold out now Sad, but I got the Qualheim boots from Aldo for £50 over the weekend which are similar. think they work with straight or skinny leg jeans. (sorry can't link to thread on phone!)

Millie1 · 20/03/2012 14:28

Thanks for the links ladies. Might just order the Aldo boots to try - Moomin do they work with skinnies in and straights out over them?

I don't tuck my skinnies in, they kinda just sit on top, but think a straighter leg would sit over no problem.

Thanks MooMin
