What Are Combat Boots?

Combat boots are usually made of leather, but can be made from synthetic materials too. They are stylish and durable, often worn as a fashion statement. However, they were originally made for soldiers, who still wear them today, due to their versatility, and stability. And firm grip.

How to Wear Combat Boots with Jeans

Jeans and combat boots go extremely well together. Whether you wear skinny, loose, short, or long jeans, they will look stylish with a pair of combat boots. However, there are different ways to wear combat boots depending on the type of jeans. That said, here’s how to wear combat boots with different jeans styles.

Skinny Jeans

Styling a pair of combat boots with skinny jeans can do wonders for any outfit. That’s especially true for high-waisted jeans. 

If you have ankle-length jeans, you can simply tuck them into your boots and you’re good to go. Another option is to allow them to lie above your combat boots or roll them up above the boot. If you wear cropped skinny jeans, all you need to do is put on your combats and enjoy the style.

Complete your outfit by adding a tucked shirt or cropped t-shirt and layer with a sweater, cardigan, or jacket and you’re all set up.

Straight-Leg Jeans

That’s because they are wide so they pass over the boots and are much easier and more comfortable to roll up and wear above your combats.

Wide Jeans

Wide jeans and combat boots are an excellent combination if you’re going for a more comfy look. Simply, let your jeans fall over the boots, and you’re all done. Don’t forget to pair them with a stylish top or turtleneck and a short jacket or an oversized coat for the ultimate look.
