No matter who you are and what your personal style is, you've probably paired jeans and boots together at least a handful of times. In my case, this is my go-to combination in the winter. Whether it's flares with sock boots or straight-legs with chunky stompers, it's a simple formula that never fails.
We've hit that point in the year when everyone is all about the boots , and we've already talked at length about 2025's key denim cuts. It's only natural, then, to start mentally inserting them into outfits. But you don't have to rely solely on your imagination—Instagram's best-dressed influencers have already provided ample inspiration.
One thing is for sure: This outfit formula certainly isn't one-size-fits-all. We've seen smart interpretations featuring blazers and indigo denim, cosy styling where statement knitwear and lug-soled boots compete for attention, and everything in between. Nine looks in particular have stood out to us—check them out below.
1. Neutral Blazer + Flared Jeans + Pointed-Toe Boots
Style Notes: Together with wide-leg jeans and pointed boots, this is a look we'll be wearing well into spring.
Shop the look:
An all-time favourite.
Oh-so seventies.
Pointed boots are taking over.
2. Trench Coat + Blue Jeans + Brown Boots
Style Notes: A trench coat is a key winter layer, but you can also carry it into spring when the weather is a little breezy. While a trench looks good with everything, we'll be keeping it classic with true-blue jeans and neutral ankle boots.
Shop the look:
Turn up the cuffs to let the check lining show.
Marks and Spencer's denim section is seriously underrated, if you ask me.
I'm all over rich hues like this.
3. Quilted Jacket + Ecru Jeans + Chelsea Boots
Style Notes: There's no better option to beat the chill than a quilted jacket. Ecru jeans will keep the outfit from feeling heavy, then finish the look with Chelsea boots for bonus comfort points.
Shop the look:
The ultimate throw-on layer for colder days.
Such a chic shape.
H&M has nailed it once again.
4. Relaxed Jumper + Distressed Jeans + Cowboy Boots
Style Notes: Tap into your inner cowgirl with a pair of suede western boots, like Alice. Show them off by tucking in your jeans, then chuck on a neutral knit to balance out the statement styling.
Shop the look:
A jumper you'll treasure for life.
From the faded wash to the intentional distressing, everything about this pair is perfect.
These feel traditional but not costume-y.
5. Oversized Blazer + Indigo Jeans + Square-Toe Boots
Style Notes: Balance out your sleekest boots with a boxy, masculine-cut blazer and add indigo jeans for a 2025 spin. It's that simple.
Shop the look:
A modern icon.
The relaxed fit is perfect for off-duty days.
This straight fit is easy to elevate or wear casually with sneakers and a knit.
Vagabond boots always look more expensive than they are.
6. Suede Jacket + Bootcut Jeans + Patent Boots
Style Notes: Suede jackets are everywhere this season—and we mean everywhere. Style this trending piece the best way you know how... with jeans and boots, of course.
Shop the look:
Don't expect this to stick around for long.
That's right, bootcuts are back.
A very French take on the black ankle boot.
7. Leather Trench Coat + Baggy Jeans + Heeled Ankle Boots
Style Notes: Baggy jeans sit on the more casual side of the denim spectrum, but can be easily dressed up with the right pieces—for example, a leather trench coat and sleek ankle boots.
Shop the look:
This faux leather version looks like the real deal, and it's a fraction of the price.
This cut comes in eight versatile washes.
Perhaps my favourite boots on the high street right now.
8. Smart Coat + Black Jeans + Pointed-Toe Ankle Boots
Style Notes: Jeans can look so polished when paired with a smart coat and sleek boots, as Anouk proves. A cable knit jumper helps block out the cold, too.
Shop the look:
A coat you'll reach for everyday.
I love H&M's knitwear collection this year.
I really rate Agolde denim.
A great pair of boots you'd never guess were from the high street.
9. Long-Sleeved Top + Black Jeans + Burgundy Boots
Style Notes: You can always count on Parisians to make a minimal outfit look enviably chic. The pop of burgundy is a considered detail that makes all the difference here.
Shop the look:
It's always great to stock up on fresh basics.
I'm into the barrel leg.
Tuck these under wide-leg jeans.
