My screen-time prompts continue to harass me, and my New Year’s resolution to spend less time on social media is already out the window. But what am I supposed to do? The new-season styling inspiration that’s domoinating my For You Page has simply been too good… It’s all in the name of research, I tell myself.
If you’ve also been spending a little more time on social media than you probably should, then you’ve likely locked eyes on the same trend as me. A subtle styling trick that’s burst onto the style scene this season, I’ve noted that a highly chic group of people have started styling their jeans tucked into boots.
A small but impactful wardrobe edit, this emerging styling trend helps to streamline the silhouette whilst adding an equestrian-inspired edge. Nodding to the very specific styling trick that jockeys adhere to when riding horses, I find that this outfit combination imparts an expensive-looking energy into a look, via its heavy association with the affluent sport.
Adopted by the style set, fashion people are wearing this pairing with straight and skinny jeans to create a smoother look, or wide relaxed or baggy styles to give it a more un-done feel. In terms of boots, we’ve seen the trend interpreted in a number of ways. Styling well with the biker boots that are trending right now, I’ve also seen the trend worn with heeled styles and pull-on pairs, too.
In terms of styling the rest of the look, you’d be surprised to find out just how versatile this combination is. Wearing well with a blazer and a polo-neck for an equestrian-inspired take, this also looks super chic when worn with the rest of your wardrobe, including chunky knits, bomber jackets, simple tees and button-downs, too.
A small but mighty outfit update, this emerging trend has the ability to entirely energise a simple jeans outfit. The best thing about the trend? No shopping trips required, simply style your favourite knee-high or calf-length boots on top of a slim-fitting pair of jeans and you’re set. If however, you’re looking to give your wardrobe a little upgrade, read on to discover our edit of the best jeans and boots to shop now.
