All My Favorite Skinny-Jean Outfits Feature This Shoe Style

As someone who personally lives in skinny jeans with a specific daily uniform, I’m always curious to see how other fellow fashion people style their skinnies. Because new outfit inspo never hurt anyone, right? Well, after recently scrolling through my “saved” board on Instagram, I realized that all of my recent favorite skinny-jean looks have one thing in common, and it’s that they feature black ankle boots.
This honestly makes perfect sense because despite your stance on skinnies, in general, the denim style really is a classic silhouette at this point—and so are black ankle boots. So if you put the two together, well that's just a no-fail outfit right there. To get a sense of the outfits in question, I’m showcasing seven standouts right here. And because I know we all love to shop, I curated a selection of my favorite skinnies and booties as well. Enjoy.
Pair your blue skinnies and black boots with a white T-shirt and blazer for a chill yet polished vibe.
Embrace this look on the weekends with a graphic tee, long coat, and a crossbody bag.
Skinnies and booties literally go with anything—white puffer coats included.
Into distressed skinny jeans? Test them out with studded boots, a turtleneck, a sleek camel coat, and fun accessories.
A leather jacket makes any outfit (even one with skinny jeans and boots) feel that much cooler.
Black skinny jeans over black boots, complete with a white top and long coat, feel especially modern.
Try this 'fit for a night out with ripped jeans, pointed boots, and a moto-inspired coat.
