For a Casual Look

There are many ways to style men's boots with skinny jeans for a casual look. The key is finding the right balance between the boot and the type of 'casual' skinny jeans look you are going for. 

A safe 'daytime casual' option would be to style brown desert boots with light skinny jeans, such as acid-washed denim.  A plain dark or light grey t-shirt would complete this look, as remember - simplicity is key when it comes to appearing casual. 

Another great option is to combine washed-out blue skinny jeans with hiking boots. This creates a relaxed look that can be seamlessly completed with a grey cashmere sweater. 

So, in essence, these are the boots to choose with skinny jeans - when a casual look is your main priority:

  • 'Desert' style boots

  • Combat boots (with a matte finish, such as canvas)

  • Simple suede ankle boots

  • Slip-on brogue style boots



For an Industrial Look

Styling skinny jeans with boots for an industrial look relies more on matching up and complementing the textures and color palette of the boots with the jeans.

An industrial style will bring to mind a heavy-duty type of aesthetic. Think ripped jeans, distressed clothing, chunky materials, and leather jackets. 

So it stands to reason that your boots (and skinny jeans) should reflect this.

Style combat boots with distressed skinny jeans for a classic industrial look because combat boots are a great option for industrial style and post-apocalyptic looks, but you can also go with 'worker' boot, or biker boots too.

 Pair them with distressed or ripped skinny jeans that come all the way down to your ankle - and roll up the hems over the top of the boots for a ruched effect. Top this look off with a checked shirt or a plain t-shirt paired with a distressed denim jacket. 

These are the types of boots to consider with distressed skinny jeans for an industrial look:

  • Combat boots

  • Biker boots

  • Worker boots

For an Outdoors Look

If you are going for an outdoor look (sometimes colloquially known as the 'urban lumberjack' look), hiking boots or timberlands paired with washed-out blue skinny jeans would work really well. This is a classic combo! You can also go for more earthy tones, such as jungle-green skinny jeans with dark brown hiking boots. 

To top this look off, a plaid shirt is the perfect rugged man's choice. If you have to wear a coat, parka, or a jacket, then make sure you pick one in earth-tones

The idea here is to look rugged, almost like you were meant to be outside in nature. So storm cuffs, flap pockets, and fitting collars are encouraged. A nice dark and plain scarf will also add another dimension. 

If you want to style an outdoors look with skinny jeans, opt for these types of men's boots:

  • Hiking boots

  • Timberland style boots

  • Brown or tan suede effect ankle boots

For an Evening Look

For an evening look, or the look - or for a seamless 'day to night' style, you can opt for slightly smarter boots; bordering on dress shoes. In this scenario, Chelsea boots, brogues, or any low to mid-heel smart boots will work well.

Dark Chelsea boots will pair well with dark, brown, or navy skinny jeans. Lighter Chelsea boots will go well with a plain light grey pair of jeans. 

Admittedly, black and brown can be a bit tricky to pull off for most men (and women for that matter) but it can be done! Go for boots in a very dark brown, then make it pop some more by topping your look off with a brown watch or some other accent up top. Steer clear of the 'brown-boots-brown-belt' fashion fail, though! The key here is subtle accents, not a total match.

The perfect way to complete an evening look based on skinny jeans with boots is with a leather jacket, either in black, grey, or brown. Keep things simple with a plain monochrome T-shirt underneath, or add a little edge with a graphic print or a punk-inspired distressed Tee

Alternatively, you can go for leather-trimmed lace-up boots, which pair quite well with skinny black jeans. Top this look with a matching suit jacket, sports coat or blazer for the ultimate dressed up look without looking totally formal.  

Boots that pair well with dark skinny jeans for an evening style are:

  • Chelsea boots

  • Leather-trimmed lace-up boots

  • Suede slip-on

  • Brogue-style boots

As you can see, there is a pair of boots and skinny jeans for every look out there. All you have to do is identify the style you want to go for. This will help you figure out what boots to wear and what jeans to pair them with.
