Jeans and ankle boots - how??

[Dancergirl]

Saw a great article a few weeks ago about combining cropped jeans, ankle boots and a blazer for spring. I really like this look but how practical is it?

Are full-length jeans with boots a no-no?

It does look nice to have a bit of bare skin between jeans and boots but don't your legs get cold? You can't really wear that until the weather is spring-like by which time it's surely time to ditch the boots for more spring-like footwear?

i think it can look great, as long as the ankle boots are really ankle boots (not higher) and there is a clear gap between the jeans and the boots - a small gap just visually shortens the leg imo, whereas an obvious one has a different visual effect. I wouldn't worry about getting cold - it's only a couple of inches of leg you're exposing!

It's fine, either way. I wear skinnies tucked into highish ankle boots, mine are all full length skinnies. I'd also happily roll them up and wear with ankle boots. I wouldn't be worried about an inch of flesh showing and getting cold.

Thanks, I might try rolling them up!

I’ve just been looking at this on Pinterest ironically! Thought it might help :)

I've been wearing this all winter except when freezing then I wear dresses and wooly tights which are much warmer than trousers. Now it's beginning to hint at spring I'm getting my trainers out again (well, unless the snow returns).

presumably if your jeans are a bit cropped you needn't roll them, right?

It seems i've been on trend all winter! and only because my skinnies have all gradually shrunk in the dryer ...

Fraggle I roll up a tiny bit with my ankle skimmer jeans but that's more to get the correct level of casualness.

Ive been getting it wrong, i tuck mine in. Will clearly have to start rolling them up. 🤣

ooh count - it's a minefield

I've just got some new ones so will have a play around

I wear ankle grazer skinny jeans with ankle boots

Brilliant helpful pic suckysnow, thank you! I wear my skinnies like that with trainers and usually full length with ankle boots, am going to try the turns ups with the ankle boots..

Good to know. Its that time of year again!

@Bluntness100 same here! 😂

I'll just be waiting for a mumsnetter to tap me on the shoulder and say ehrm you're wearing those wrong. 🤣

The crop that’s in style is also slightly flared though, not an option if you’re short and curvy

I used to do this but worth rolled jeans back when that was the fashion. Did it all winter. Never cold.

I've had jeans & the gap today & not been cold!

Did have a loose jumper with a vest top underneath on my top half though!

sucky thanks for that, very helpful. I've been doing the first 'wrong' one - jeans sitting on top of ankle boot.

though, not an option if you’re short and curvy

Meh. According to the rules of fashion, nothing is an option if you are short and curvy

I must be cussed because those pictures make me determined to do it wrong, and strut the streets.

If I'm wearing a longer ankle boot like Dr Martens or biker ankle boots then I think jeans are fine tucked in (need to be skinny on the calf). Otherwise I turn up or wear ankle grazer jeans.

I don't find it cold unless it's one of those baltic snowy days of recent times.

I tried the roll em up a bit thing and it did look like it cut my legs off a little. Hmmm. Maybe not used to it.

What do you do for socks with very low ankle boots? I normally wear normal black ankle socks which were hidden with full length jeans.

You just wear trainer socks, similar to these:

They are high enough not to slip off your heel.
