Which boot with which jeans?

I’ve always worn skinny jeans so just either wore long boots or a biker boot with them.
I’m trying to change up what jeans I wear. I have some straight legs and have some girlfriend and some slim straight coming.
What sort of boots do I wear with these? Knee highs obvs don’t fit but bikers don’t either as the jeans don’t tuck in but are not wide enough to go over the boots.
I presume I need different boots for different leg styles of jeans but have no clue!
Help please?? Thank you.

I tend to wear ankle boots for those styles, in fact, bought some last week (jeans and ankle boots!).

For skinny jeans, I like to have them turned up to meet the top of the boot, rather than tucked in. These I ages demonstrate what I mean urbsuburbstyle.com/blog/2019/11/14/the-tip-how-to-wear-jeans-and-booties

I was just debating this! My default is white trainers but when the weather turns, my ankles won’t cope.
I’m thinking of getting some platform lace up thick soles combat boots - a bit like DMs - maybe in a suede or nubuck and then letting bottom of rolled up straight leg jean sit just at top. Basically how I looked in 1990!! I’ll add a square neck body and big fluffy cardi and be done with it!

Yes, I roll up my skinnies. I haven’t bought girlfriend jeans yet because I wasn’t sure how to wear them.

Think my skinnies may be too tight to cuff (thank you COVID!) 😳

Hi, can i join in and ask, what length should wide leg jeans be on a 5ft 3 inch petite, leg length is 28", most people seems to wear them slightly cropped with a bit of ankle showing, just brought my very first pair at 60 years old after only wearing skinnies all my life, I have tried loads of other styles on but they always seem to look rubbish, these fit perfect, just like my skinnies on waist and bum with wide leg.

I would wear girlfriend jeans with trainers rather than boots. Straight leg or skinny jeans look good with a small amount of turn up over the top of the boot.

Thank you for all the tips - it’s a minefield for me!
