I Live in Skinny Jeans and Black Ankle Boots—Here Are My Favorite Outfits

I recently dove into one of the biggest workhorses in my wardrobe—black skinny jeans—and highlighted my favorite outfits featuring the trend. But after thinking about my daily uniforms further, I realized that my black boots also hold just as much significance in my wardrobe as skinnies. And when you combine the two—black skinny jeans and booties—well, that’s just the start of a perfect outfit in my opinion.

The rest of the fashion universe must agree with me because the style elite consistently posts forward ensembles on Instagram featuring the two closet staples. Their looks are too good not to share, so I'm showcasing the coolest outfits with skinny jeans and black ankle boots of the moment, along with the best silhouettes to shop now. Trust, I’ll be copping a few (if not all) of what’s coming ahead.

While simple, a white knit, long coat, black jeans, and ankle boot look is extremely elegant.

For a downtown vibe, don't underestimate the power of a moto jacket, cropped jeans, and boots ensemble.

While featuring only a few pieces with the leopard top, skinnies, and booties, this vibe still feels high-concept due to its statement nature.

If skinnies and boots are your thing for travel, try them with a tee and slouchy blazer for a comfortable yet elevated look.
