Straight, wide-leg or cropped? Here's which jeans go best with ankle boots

Autumn is the perfect time for fashion classics, and the combination of jeans and ankle boots proves once again why it deserves its timeless-favourite status. Practical, effortless and with a touch of elegance, it works for almost any occasion, from a morning coffee to an evening out. However, the key lies in finding the right balance. The perfect cut of jeans can completely change the look and highlight your ankle boots in the best possible way.

Straight-cut jeans are always a safe choice. They visually elongate the legs and create a neat, balanced silhouette. If cropped hems are your style, ankle boots will take centre stage, especially if they come in an interesting colour or texture. Wide-leg cuts bring a sense of ease and movement, while slim fits emphasise the shape and make the footwear the focal point of the outfit.

In the end, it all comes down to your mood. When you want a touch of sophistication, go for dark, straight-cut jeans and heeled ankle boots; for a more relaxed feel, choose cropped or wide-leg styles that exude a sense of effortless ease.
