One of the most natural pairings that exists in fashion is jeans and boots. It's a combination that's appropriate for a multitude of occasions, style types, and age groups, and it's timeless enough to truly never go out of style. That said, it's not exactly foolproof. Not all boots work with all types of jeans, but luckily for you, we found 25 options that do.
The key when choosing the least-awkward boots to wear with jeans is this: Select ones that are tight enough to wear under your jeans or wide enough to wear over them, and/or short enough or tall enough so that they don't bunch up at the hem. Sounds easy enough, right? Yes and no, but per usual, we're here to help.
