I had this boyfriend once…
Ah yes, the boyfriend jean. Cozy, comfortable, and lazy, just like the real thing. Ok, we’re kidding, and we’ll even admit the timeless pairing of sneakers and your boyfriend jeans is the perfect fashion remedy for most casual occasions. But have you considered breaking away the norm? Step away from your traditional inner thoughts of wearing sneakers with your boyfriend’s and mix it up a little with some statement boots.

Love to cuff ’em? So do we. Just because you’re wearing boots with your boyfriends doesn’t mean you have to hide your denim under all that leather. Take facets of when you’re wearing your boyfriends with sneakers and transfer that over to when you’re wearing boots. Let the world see those amazing shoes! Plus it doesn’t hurt to have a little protection around the ankles when the temperature starts to drop and the snow level starts to rise.

Skinnies and flats? Nah…
Time to hit one of the fall seasons on-point trends: Victorian-inspired footwear textures and fabrics like brocade and velvet. Skinny jeans are a forever staple so consider it an opportunity to swap out your luxe flats with your skinnies for a laced ankle boot to change things up a bit.

2017 BoHo Style
Flared denim or culottes need a little-added height to properly visually elongate your legs. How do you do that? Pair your culottes with a stiletto heel bootie or a chunky heel boot and embrace your inner boho chic… or in this case your inner Mary Poppins.
