How To Wear Jeans With Boots
The jeans and boots combination is a staple for every Autumn/Winter wardrobe. A common feature of utilitarian workwear-inspired fashion, the chunky boots and jeans trend has been around for some time, and it’s not going anywhere soon.
So, how do you get on board? How should you pair your jeans and boots? Which brands should you be wearing? Don’t worry; we have you covered with our handy guide that features tips and tricks from our style experts at Stuarts.

Cuff or no cuff?
When wearing jeans with boots, you should consider the length of the denim compared to the boot height. You want to show off your boots, but you don’t want the jeans to sit too high on your legs.
You can layer your jeans and boots in one of two ways; stacking or cuffing. Stacking your jeans simply means letting your jeans bunch above the shoes and is suited towards skinny and slim tapered jeans. Cuffing your jeans is ideal for boxier fits with selvedge denim and straight regular-fitting ensembles.
How to cuff jeans with men’s boots
- Put your jeans on with your boots and roll your jeans over the bottom of your shoes.
- From here, grab the bottom of your jeans and fold the hem back on itself with the aim of a 1.5-inch lip.
- After you have rolled your jeans once, roll them again to keep them secure.
- Make sure you only roll the jeans twice, as any more rotations will leave the cuff looking too bulky.
Cuffing allows you to create a clean break between the end of your denim and the start of your shoes. One tip to consider is that the larger the cuff area, the shorter your legs will look. If you want to create the illusion of a longer leg, ensure your cuff isn’t too bulky.
Colour combinations to choose when wearing boots with jeans
When deciding how to wear your boots and jeans, one particularly important thing is the colour choice of your pairing. You want to ensure that the colours work well together, and once you strike the right balance, the colour combination can take your outfit to the next level. Colour matching can make or break an outfit – so make sure you opt for one of the following choices.
Brown and blue
When wearing boots, brown and blue complement one another perfectly. Opting for the blue and brown combination offers you versatility with your styling, as blue jeans are a wardrobe staple for any modern gentleman and can be dressed down for off-duty days or up with a crisp classic shirt. If you want to step up the styling further, try incorporating light earthy tones into the top half of your outfit with a jacket, overshirt or ‘shacket’.
All black
The all-black combo will also go with a wide range of looks. Try tapered black jeans with black boots for a sleek look that will give you an unbroken trouser line. This look is great if you want to show off a statement piece on the top half of your ensemble. If you do decide to opt for the all-black look, we have a selection of black jeans in various fits to suit.
Have fun with it
When choosing the colour combination of your jeans and boots, have fun with your pairing. Monochrome, tonal or all one colour are three main combinations to stick to, but it’s the confidence and styling of an outfit that will make it work.
