Skinny jeans and ankle boots

[Haroldplaystheharmonica]

How do you wear skinny jeans with ankle boots? Tucked in? Rolled up? With thick chunky socks poking out of the top?

I just don't know! Help me...!

I wear mine with jeggings so they are stretchy and I can put them over them top. Works for me.

I tuck mine in to my boots, but as they're too long and go under my foot, which is uncomfortable, I do a turn up in the jeans which is covered by the boot. I do think it makes my calves look a bit chunkier though, because you can see where the boots stop.

I doubt think the tucked in look works with my leg shape. I tallish with a medium build. I wear with skinny jeans or cords and leave the fabric to scrunch up at the top of the boot.

I worked drainpipe and ankle boot look to death when I was 10/11, I'm not going back there.

You need to cuff the jeans. Tucked in can look awful and definitely don't pull the jeans over the top of the boots

I like this way!

Definitely not tucked in!

Cuff them.

Show some ankle.

This demostrates it well:

I would cuff mine. But it's winter and I don't live in LA. I want warm ankles.

Depending on the particular pair of jeans I either roll them a little, or let them "scrunch" on top of the boot.

Tucking in only works with certain styles of boots, certainly not with Chelsea boots or similar.

I cuff mine most of the time :)

I have seen lots of exposed socks on the trendies recently which would work with a turn up (when did they become cuffs?!?!)

What about with biker boots? Sorry to jump in! Like these....shop.mango.com/GB/p0/women/accessories/leather-biker-ankle-boots/?id=33060318_02&n=1&s=accesorios.zapatos&ident=0_accesorio42,442,342_0_1416435147270&ts=1416435147270

hi cuffers, do you have to be tall to cuff? Im small and feel cuffing would make me look dumpy.

Great! Thanks all. Loving that article on cuffing turning up jeans

I think biker boots are the only style that look good with skinnies tucked in really.

Those Mango ones are really nice bobkate

Exposed socks with cuffs are VERY hipster, when you can't see any skin at all. At least I only see male hipster studenty types trying that. I don't think it's really caught on otherwise. Hipster is kind of mainstream fringe (not in the way that it's not accessible, more that people don't choose it as a style!) so maybe just give it time. I see a lot of them get it wrong though (IMO)- not plain enough, clashing etc.

I don't think you have to be tall at all, have you tried it in a full length mirror? Then you get a good idea of proportions. The only thing is avoiding straying into the capri pants territory (apols if anyone wears those!).

I only started cuffing because my skinnies would have escaped from my Chelsea boots and just look really messy and I'd be forever checking them to tuck them in again. I have a little tattoo just above my ankle which I use to judge cuff length. Would recommend that as a cuff length gaging method ;)

I know this isn't what you meant Velour but I imagined a tattoo that literally has a line drawn to mark the perfect cuff length!

haha! I'm not that anal
