18 Outfit Ideas For How to Wear Ankle Boots With Jeans

Cuff up your straight-leg jeans to show a little skin between the top of your ankle boots and the hem of your jeans.

Elongate your legs like Cindy Bruna with a pair of black skinny jeans and block-heel booties in the same dark hue, mixing in printed tops with ease.

Keep it slouchy with a pair of boyfriend jeans and ankle boots, mixing in some edgy details like a top with cutout sleeves.

Go light and airy like Caro Daur with light-gray-wash jeans, styling them with bright-white ankle boots, even as the temperature begins to dip.

Take a cue from Jeanette Madsen this season with a black-and-white look, styled with red ankle boots and white jeans for just the right amount of color.

Go edgy like May Berthelot with ankle-crop jeans with a raw or cutoff hemline. Then slip into chunky motorcycle ankle boots for a true '90s vibe.

While you might always tend to reach for black footwear, consider a pair of burgundy leather ankle boots this season. They offer a brighter base for your ankle-crop denim and more colorful jackets and tops.

Mix all the classics together this season, with a Breton stripe, a leather jacket, straight-leg jeans that are polished off with a belt, and — of course — the perfect pair of black leather ankle boots.

Style winter whites to cozy perfection, adding flatform ankle moto boots for a chic contrast to your white jeans.

Style your classic blue straight-leg jeans with a pair of ankle boots that boast a subtle pattern, bright pop of color, or metallic sheen, like Veronika Heilbrunner did.

Whether you shop embellished jeans or DIY a pair, style them with classic leather ankle boots that keep the spotlight on the feathered hem.

With wide-leg jeans, slip into contrasting ankle boots, and throw on a luxe, suede jacket. While you might not be able to see much of the ankle booties, the unrestrictive height of the boot shaft allows for easy layering without the bulk.

Mix up your leather hues by topping your denim look with a brown mid-thigh coat and black leather ankle boots that peek out from underneath the hem of your jeans.

With a pair of looser jeans, slip into '90s-inspired lug-sole ankle boots, and top it with an oversize mid-calf coat.

Ankle boots are a great way to lean into winter whites, as demonstrated by Astrid Boutrot. When styling a leather jacket and jeans, opt for a pair of white boots to brighten up your overall outfit.

When opting for oversize silhouettes — think loose, dark-wash jeans, a boxy denim top, and a belt or jacket tied around your waist like Yoyo Cao — choose a slightly chunkier ankle boot to keep the theme going strong.

Even with a pair of classic black heeled booties, choose jeans that allow them to peek out from under a rolled hem or similar style.
