Skinny jeans would be great. However, like you, I am not a perfect size 0 so skinny jeans looks weird on me. Options 1: leggings, loose top that goes all the way down to thigh or above the knee, belt on the loose top to emphasize your waist, and boots. Option 2: I buy the brand "Not Your Daughter's Jeans" from Nordstrom. Good quality jeans, stretchy coz it is specially made to lift your but up and tuck your stomach in. You can choose from boot cut or skinny (I use the boot cut). The material is not too clingy like skinny jeans but "skinny" enough to tuck inside the boots. Hope that helps!
You pretty much have to use skinny or straight leg jeans to do it. Wide legged jeans have too much material to stuff into the boot and are too loose on top to get that "look"
Yes, skinny jeans are a good route for this BUT I've also seen women roll their jeans to the top of their boots and wear them this way.
I have one pair of skinny jeans that I only wear with boots. I like my boots to hit mid calf, but it's more of a personal preference.
I have a cheap pair of $15 skinny jeans I bought from Kohl's (they're just regular length and I need long, so they're ONLY for wearing with boots) that I wear with boots. Otherwise they get bunched up in my boot and start slipping out. The skinny jeans (which look ridiculous on me otherwise) stay inside. And they were only $15 =]
I buy cheap skinny jeans to wear with boots! Wide leg probably won't work because as a PP said, there is too much fabric and you don't get the right look.
@EJS: I do the same thing. I need long length for all other jeans but with skinny jeans I can wear regular!
Yeah, you need skinnier jeans. Wide legged jeans won't fit in the boots. I tuck my jeans into my socks to make sure they stay put... that can help if the jeans aren't quite "skinny" enough at the bottom.
I like the boots that hit mid to upper calf, 3-4 inches below the knee.
I agree with blueshoes2, I also tuck my jeans into my socks. I have these big ol white tube socks that I put on over my jeans. It keeps the jeans from rolling up and it keeps then nice and tight inside the boots.
I wear skinny jeans but straight leg or boot cut works if you can fold the excess material inside the boot smoothly. I've also seen people who roll their jeans or leave them loosely on top of the boots as stephinPA mentioned too.
Skinny jeans are easiest, but I also wear straight leg and boot cut sometimes. If it's not too much extra fabric you can fold it over at the bottom of the pant.
This might be kind of obvious, but if you have high boots, you probably want a zipper on the side to make it easier to put on over jeans. If it doesn't have a zipper it can be next to impossible to wear them over pants.
I guess I just don't understand the look...I walk around the mall and go "Why?"
I wish jeans could just be jeans. but everyone is going to the skinny jeans...and they aren't a style everyone can wear. :(
Maybe it's just me?
@MissLily: Like anything, it depends on your body type/shape. Personally, skinny jeans are very flattering on me (and I'm NOT a size 0!) so I love the trend! I also wear skinny/straight leg jeans with pumps or flats.
@misslily - I think skinny jeans lose some of their "look" when you wear boots over them. You can't really tell that they are skinny jeans anymore at that point.
You def need skinny jeans. Skinny jeans can be flattering on pear shapes as long as you get some that fit! I think a good height is right below the knee. But I love boots of all heights! I agree, leggings could work with tall boots, too.
I have a booty and I've been wearing skinny jeans for 4 years. It's all about proportion - layering a tunic on top to take the emphasis off your butt, and so on.
But yes, skinny jeans are very much a necessity for this look. When I first saw Kate Moss walking around with the look way before I knew skinny jeans existed, I managed to painstakingly fold and tuck my jeans into boots. It was uncomfortable - so buy a cheap pair or get some leggings, absolutely.
Lol, when I read the title of this post I thought, "I'll just take a picture of what I'm wearing today." Then, I realized you weren't talking about stuffing your jeans into knee-high snow boots so you can wade through 3 foot drifts on your way to work. Right... Sometimes I forget that other parts of the world still wear fashionable clothing in the winter... :)
Skinnies or leggings! Or you can put on a tight pair of socks over the bottom of the jeans to suck it all in!
I hate to say it, but if you can't wear skinny jeans, then skinny jeans with boots over them probably won't work for you either.
@jojo bananas
I totally disagree! I always wear boot cut jeans because I think it looks better on me. however, I bought skinny jeans specifically for the boots over jeans look and I think it works if you do it all correctly - the boots help balance the booty and if you wear the right top, it looks awesome!
@ Miss Lilly – I totally understand. Sometimes, there are people in the mall who should NOT be wearing the latest fashion just because they’re the latest. Another pet peeve:
Tweens or teenage girls who wear super short shorts (their asses are almost showing) or mini skirts, but wear the Ugg boots! I don’t get it. Are you cold? Or are you hot? I live in Chicago so….don’t understand why you’re wearing super short shorts or mini skirts in the winter time. Sometimes I wonder whether these girls have parents who check before the leave the house. I feel like going up to them and saying “Honey…there’s a difference between being sexy….and skanky. This get up right now smells like skank.”
I wear skinny jeans, which for some reason are NEVER skinny enough on my legs. (Gap Always Skinny... not so much, but still my favorite jeans). I wear dorky tall socks and tuck my jeans into my socks, then throw on the Hunters!
@hazel - haha, the fug girls just teased Kate Hudson for wearing uggs with a mini dress. I had a college roommate who used to go out in the dead of winter, in Wisconsin, in a mini skirt and Uggs, and come back with bright red legs because that's what happens when you leave your skin exposed in 10 degree weather!
Yeah you pretty much need skinny jeans to tuck into boots. You might be able to get away with straight leg, but wide leg probably won't work. I like the Gap Always skinny for that purpose--even though I'm not a skinny jeans kind of gal, I have some for boots. I also got a really cute pair at Old Navy last year.
I have the Gap skinny jeans also! They are the only skinny jeans that look good on me. But I can't rock the boots over the jeans look. I am a size 2, but I cannot fit my calves into most boots, especially with jeans on!
MissLily--i hear ya on the skinnies, i really do not think they are flattering on most body shapes. and the irony is that when they first came out earlier in the decade, EVERYONE was saying this. skinny jeans took a long time to catch on! now everyone is wearing them and thinks they look fine on any body shape. i guess most people have acclimatized to the look of any body in skinnies, but i really have not. they really shorten your legs! i never wear skinnies, always straight legs, even though i have a hard time finding them :/
i love boots with jeans though :)
im to volumptious to wear skinny jeans but i do love leggings and i have tall boots and short ones that look cute
Sorry, this post is about jeans not leggings.
I have the Gap skinny jeans too. I just love the look of boots with jeans or leggings. But I agree, you have to balance the look out with the right top - a longer tunic or flowy top are my go-tos.
Thanks ladies, this is helpful. I love the idea of leggings too--I never thought of that!

Hi Ladies!
I keep seeing people wear boots over their jeans and it looks so cute! I really want to do it but I have no idea how to. I usually buy wide-legged jeans since I think I'm more "pear-shaped". Do you have to use skinny jeans to do it? Also, how high of a boot should you have? Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
