Embrace The Flat Ankle Bootie

Most jeans-and-ankle-boots combos require some kind of higher heel. (Say, to elongate a flare or dress up a boyfriend style.) Skinny jeans? They’re at their best with a low menswear moment.

Be Mindful Of Your Hemline

You’re doing this all for the booties. Make sure your jeans are the proper length to show ’em off. A good rule of thumb: Have your denim hit about an inch above the ankle.

Roll, Rather Than Scrunch

If said hemlines are too long, don’t be afraid to roll the cuffs of your skinny jeans. (Yep, just like you would your boyfriend jeans.) It’s a better option than letting them pool and bunch awkwardly.

Having trouble deciding which denim will look best with which leather? Go minimal. Go monochromatic. It will always work.
