It always used to be! I have long black suede boots I wear with black jeans and trousers but am stuck as to what I should be wearing with dark blue jeans. Currently ballet flats which is freezing and daft in winter so I really need some new boots. I wear skinny jeans and am 28. What do you wear with blue jeans?

I know what you mean about black with denim. I usually wear a tan colour boot instead when it comes to blue colours.

I view denim as neutral. You can wear anything with it.

I'm with burnishedsilver.

When I wear blue jeans, I base my footwear decisions on the top that I'm wearing.

Really? Interesting. Maybe no need for new boots afterall.

I would go for brown but sure black would look fine.
Google next and things and see what the models have on with blue jeans

Meow75 · 15/01/2014 13:41

Awww, Elizabeth, that latest post makes me so sad!!!

Love buying new boots

elizabethtailored · 15/01/2014 13:43

I can't find any I like anyway which aren't black! Am not a fan of tan. was wondering about a sort of taupey/mid grey colour? and I prefer suede to leather. In other words - am quite picky!

I prefer brown myself but DD who's young and trendy wears black.

I think a lot depends on the boots- knee highs look ok in black but I think some styles of ( not all) ankle boots can look a bit old fashioned.

Normally wear black leather boots with dark blue skinnies... nice and toasty Smile

That said, you need a choice of pairs: smart, casual, waterproof, not waterproof (as in your suede ones), high heels, flat, suitable for going out in...

That's at least three new pairs justified.

Black looks best with dark denim or if you are wearing a black top or a black coat.

ilovepowerhoop · 15/01/2014 13:57

I just wear black shoes/boots with jeans

Meow75 · 15/01/2014 13:58

ooooh, grey boots.

You're making me salivate. I hate the month of January - always, always skint!!!

PrammyMammy · 15/01/2014 14:00

I wear black boots with blue jeans all the time. Shock

StripyPenguin · 15/01/2014 14:01

Black boots.

Twinklestein · 15/01/2014 14:05

I don't like black with dark blue so I got some dark blue suede boots for my dark jeans.

blibblibs · 15/01/2014 14:06

I have tan, very dark brown and green boots and only ever wear blue jeans.

Twinklestein · 15/01/2014 14:08

These are the ones I got, 'Coverup' by Stuart Weitzman.

What colour boots with blue jeans? Is black a no no?

I almost always wear black boots with denim. I'm not a fan of tan either, it is too orangey for me. Dark brown is nice but black is my favourite.

Minnieisthedevilmouse · 15/01/2014 15:43

I've never ever ever heard of this rule. Unsure what age had to do with it either.

Wear the boot you like and stuff the colour? I think brown can be very casual where black smarter. Horses for courses!

cloudskitchen · 15/01/2014 15:46

On the whole I never wear black with dark blue however denim is neutral and therefore in my opinion goes with any other colour (except more denim Shock )

elizabethtailored · 15/01/2014 16:36

Nothing to do with my age but was trying to give an idea of style and what I liked.

Definitely used to be not done to wear black with denim - had to be brown. Brown and blue. Black and black. But this stems from my youth and is obviously very out of date now which is good news for me!

I always wear black boots with dark blue denim. Biker boots or ankle boots usually. I have dark brown wintery knee boots that I love with them too, looks more casual and countrified.

Drywhiteplease · 15/01/2014 18:53

Anything....stone suede, tan leather, black ....all depends on the rest of the outfit and I'm a bit of a sucker for a matching bag.

MrsCampbellBlack · 15/01/2014 19:30

I mostly wear either black, chocolate brown or navy.

I like lighter boots on other people but not on me.

TallulahBetty · 15/01/2014 19:39

Any colour. I too base my footwear on what the top is.
