If you know me at all then you know that there’s no clothing item I’d rather wear than a classic pair of jeans. Rain or shine, snow or sun you’re almost guaranteed to see me completing my outfits with a wash of denim. As familiar as I am with styling up the piece in my wardrobe, I’m always on the lookout for new ways to wear my favourite garment—particularly at the turn of the season.
Keen to revive my winter wardrobe I’ve spent some time skimming through the Instagram pages of my favourite French influencers to see exactly how the French style set are styling their jeans with boots for the winter months. Read on to discover everything I found.
FRENCH GIRL WINTER JEANS AND BOOTS OUTFITS TO COPY THIS SEASON:
1. STRAIGHT LEG JEANS + POINTED TOE BOOTS
Style Notes: Straight-leg jeans are a wardrobe non-negotiable, and they’re my first port of call whenever I’m in need of an easy and versatile outfit base for chilly winter days. Wearing well with a sleek pointed-toe boot, this clever pairing makes a denim outfit feel so much more elegant, without losing the wearable edge that makes denim so appealing.

2. REALXED JEANS + SKEEPSKIN BOOTS
Style Notes: When winter’s chill has totally set in and you can’t bear the thought of wearing anything that isn’t fluffy, then a sheepskin boot is the single item you need to have on your radar. To style your fluffy boots in the most French-women way possible, wear them with relaxed jeans and pair with a simple, fuss-free jacket.
