Boots with jeans

[Thingsthatgo]

I ditched my skinny jeans many years ago, but I love wearing boots, and I really liked that I could show off my boots over skinnies, rather than hiding them under wide legged jeans.
Can I tuck in straight or slim jeans to boots? (I have chunky thighs, so they might just look like skinny jeans!)
Or cropped/rolled up jeans?
if you have any photo examples, that would be great.

I dont think either skinny jeans or tucked in jeans are a good look.
The only people who can wear skinny jeans are people like my sister who have model slim long legs.
I am a size 10 but look awful in them because Im too curvy.
Really we need to take a long hard look at what actually suits us rather than trying to keep old styles alive for too long.

OP isn't suggesting wearing skinnies though, whether they suit her or not.

I would say no, you can't tuck slim or straight jeans in and look good. What kind of boots are we talking about? If you want to show them off I'm assuming they're decent boots. Chunky boots can work with cropped flare jeans. Bootlegs work best with pointed toe boots IMO.

Thanks @owlpassportmostly chunky flats, I have some Zadig & Voltaire that I love, and it makes me sad that they are hidden. I don’t really wear skirts or dresses. I am mostly in wide legged or flared/bootcut trousers. Maybe I need to try some cropped styles.

Have you thought about trousers that arent jeans. I have a pair of skechers go walk trousers in grey which I tuck into boots and they look great with a longer length jumper. They are quite long though so I had to take the hems up.
