No matter who you are and what your personal style is, you've probably paired jeans and boots together at least a handful of times. In my case, this is my go-to combination in the winter. Whether it's flares with sock boots or straight-legs with chunky stompers, it's a simple formula that never fails.
We've hit that point in the year when everyone is all about the boots , and we've already talked at length about 2025's key denim cuts. It's only natural, then, to start mentally inserting them into outfits. But you don't have to rely solely on your imagination—Instagram's best-dressed influencers have already provided ample inspiration.
One thing is for sure: This outfit formula certainly isn't one-size-fits-all. We've seen smart interpretations featuring blazers and indigo denim, cosy styling where statement knitwear and lug-soled boots compete for attention, and everything in between. Nine looks in particular have stood out to us—check them out below.
1. Neutral Blazer + Flared Jeans + Pointed-Toe Boots
Style Notes: Together with wide-leg jeans and pointed boots, this is a look we'll be wearing well into next year.
Shop the Look:
M&S blazers are amongst my favourite.
Oh-so seventies.
Pointed boots are a staple wardrobe piece.
2. Trench Coat + Blue Jeans + Brown Boots
Style Notes: A trench coat is a key winter layer, but you can also carry it into spring when the weather is a little breezy. While a trench looks good with everything, we'll be keeping it classic with true-blue jeans and neutral ankle boots.
Shop the Look:
I adore this trench.
A straight-leg jean is a go-to for me.
I'm all over rich hues like this.
3. Quilted Jacket + Ecru Jeans + Chelsea Boots
Style Notes: There's no better option to beat the chill than a quilted jacket. Ecru jeans will keep the outfit from feeling heavy, then finish the look with Chelsea boots for bonus comfort points.
Shop the Look:
One of The Frankie Shop's bestsellers.
Don't reserve whites for summer, they can still feel crisp and fresh in autumn.
Dune nails it every time.
4. Relaxed Jumper + Distressed Jeans + Cowboy Boots
Style Notes: Tap into your inner cowgirl with a pair of suede western boots, like Alice. Show them off by tucking in your jeans, then chuck on a neutral knit to balance out the statement styling.
Shop the Look:
I immediately bought this M&S jumper, it's such a classic style.
Agolde is known for their high-quality denim.
These feel traditional but not costume-y.
5. Oversized Blazer + Indigo Jeans + Square-Toe Boots
Style Notes: Balance out your sleekest boots with a boxy, masculine-cut blazer and add indigo jeans for a 2025 spin. It's that simple.
Shop the Look:
A modern icon.
An indigo wash is a great alternative to black.
This Mango pair look much more expensive than they are.
6. Suede Jacket + Bootcut Jeans + Patent Boots
Style Notes: Suede jackets are everywhere this season—and we mean everywhere. Style this trending piece the best way you know how... with jeans and boots, of course.
Shop the Look:
This ticks every box.
That's right, bootcuts are back.
The heel is my favourite part.
7. Leather Trench Coat + Baggy Jeans + Heeled Ankle Boots
Style Notes: Baggy jeans sit on the more casual side of the denim spectrum, but can be easily dressed up with the right pieces—for example, a leather trench coat and sleek ankle boots.
Shop the Look:
This faux leather version looks like the real deal, and it's a fraction of the price.
Aligne are one of my favourite brands for denim.
Love.
8. Smart Coat + Black Jeans + Pointed-Toe Ankle Boots
Style Notes: Jeans can look so polished when paired with a smart coat and sleek boots, as Anouk proves. A cable knit jumper helps block out the cold, too.
Shop the Look:
This will be in your wardrobe for years.
Slim jeans are making their comeback.
Aeyde is one of my all time favourite shoe brands.
9. Long-Sleeved Top + Black Jeans + Burgundy Boots
Style Notes: You can always count on Parisians to make a minimal outfit look enviably chic. The pop of burgundy is a considered detail that makes all the difference here.
Shop the Look:
It's always great to stock up on fresh basics.
Such a chic, every day jean.
Tuck these under wide-leg jeans.
