Emma Roberts Just Proved This Jeans-and–Ankle Boots Combo Is Still in Style
Emma Roberts isn't just a Scream Queen. She's the queen of cool jeans-and–ankle boots outfits (sorry—we had to). One of the denim trends the stylish actress has championed since it first came to be about three years ago is cropped flares. Another trend that came to be about three years ago is white boots. With the power of those two trends combined, Roberts recently took to Instagram to post her Thanksgiving Day look, which consisted of the aforementioned cropped flares and white boots, fittingly paired with a retro sweater. We'll always love wearing cropped flares with ankle boots, as they easily solve the predicament of boots causing your jeans to bunch up around the ankles (not a good look).
The jeans that Roberts chose are by Mother, a brand that she wears on repeat, and the ankle boots are by Vagabond and ring in at a mere $175. Once again, Roberts has proven how skilled she is at finding cool, affordable shoes, and these are readily available at Nordstrom. Keep scrolling to see her look and shop the combo (including her exact ankle boots), and see more of her best denim outfits on Instagram at the end.
