Boyfriend jeans in winter

22 replies

MilkThistle187 · 03/10/2014 21:05

I wore boyfriends a lot over the summer with a deep turn up and espadrilles or skate shoes or sandals. But I just can't make them work with winter footwear, they just look wrong on me with ankle boots. How do you wear them in winter?

I'm wondering this too so watching with interest...

dexter73 · 03/10/2014 21:12

I have no idea either. I think mine will be put to the bottom of the jeans pile until spring as I don't want to have cold ankles!

TeaAddict235 · 03/10/2014 21:13

i'm planning on still wearing them with my Dunlops or Campers.

dexter73 · 03/10/2014 21:15

What about your poor, cold ankles Tea? Leg warmers?!!

If it's not too chilly they work OK with ankle boots, but I do tend to save them for the summer.

I think they look great with lace-up ankle boots (DM style)

cerealqueen · 03/10/2014 22:52

wear them longer with clogs?

cerealqueen · 03/10/2014 23:00

knee high socks till it gets really cold....

TeaAddict235 · 04/10/2014 07:23

yeah, I know, fashion victim here: i'll wear ankle socks and be brave Wink

Andcake · 04/10/2014 07:28

I wear mine with these kind of shoe boot ankle boot.

I also wear them with lace up ankle boots, and brogues.

I8toys · 04/10/2014 14:46

I've been wearing mine with grey suede soft slouchy type biker boots from la redoute. Look fine

Gorgeous

Boyfriend jeans in winter
WhatSheZed · 04/10/2014 18:34

Brogues!

lovemyboo · 04/10/2014 23:26

Timberlands but without the deep turn up.

Or yes once again to brogues!

Chumhum · 05/10/2014 08:33

I wore mine with Chelsea boots this week, I was worried I'd look a bit Ronald McDonald but it looked good.

MilkThistle187 · 05/10/2014 09:17

Thanks for all the ideas. The problem is that I am quite short and the only way I can wear bf's is with a deep turn up above the ankle otherwise I just look swamped. I tried them with a few pairs of ankle boots and they don't look too bad with a pair that comes quite high up on the leg so that the jeans come down over the top of the boot.

Shoe boots, brogues, etc although I love them look wrong because of the 'gap' IYKWIM. The gap looks great with bare legs but bare legs are out of the question for me when the temp drops below 18 degrees Grin

I am braving out winter in my boyfrienmds with converse lo tops, just gritting my teeth against the chill factor round my ankles!

Twinklestein · 09/10/2014 23:51

If you looked swamped it sounds like they're too big OP, have you tried skinny boyfriends?

I also think if you're short turnups make your legs look shorter.

You could go the other way and roll them down and wear them over heeled ankle boots to give you height.

Brogues (no visible socks)
High heels (no visible socks)
Cuban heeled ankle boots (as above)
Loafers (visible socks)
