Styling advice needed on these boots

DH bought me these boots and I love them.
However I need to refresh my look a bit and would like some styling ideas.

I have stopped wearing jeans, I wear trainers, leggings and overside sweatshirts for work unless I am in a meeting or supporting someone at court or similar.

Im a size 16( for now!!) and 5ft5.
I like a casual look.
All ideas would be very welcome.

Some great tights and a denim or corduroy skirt.

Would you not wear them with your leggings and sweatshirts/knit with socks?

jeans and jumper, tights and skirt as pp said.

They are lovely, what a great present.

I would wear them with straight leg cords, cuffed to the top of the boots. M&S have some nice ones although I think a lot of sizes are out of stock.

Maybe a denim shirt dress and tights.

Why have you stopped wearing jeans? Is it a comfort thing?

Do a Pinterest search for Grenson boots. They are very similar and might give some inspiration.

They're lovely. Style them as you would Grenson Nanettes or hiking boots.

Why have you stopped wearing jeans? Is it a comfort thing? I put weight on. Ive been slowly losing it but im not ready to wear them again. I've been dying to have so.e wide leg ones but Im not going a size bigger!
I never thought of a corduroy skirt, thats a good call or maybe a pinafore.

Would you not wear them with your leggings and sweatshirts/knit with socks?
Yes, I would, but I was thinking of a fresher look for me as I tend to wear leggings and sweatshirts all the time.

I'd been on Pinterest this afternoon for something else I never thought to look there.
Thanks for the ideas.

I totally get the anti-jeans stance. I put on an enormous amount of weight over the last few years and found myself very reluctant to wear jeans (or indeed anything with a proper waistband), although I did have to give in and buy bigger sizes! Thankfully it's now gone again and I'm back in the jeans.

Worth having a look on Vinted to get a couple of cheap pairs in your current size that would be comfortable? Those boots would look really lovely with jeans.
