Many women prefer to tuck the bottom of their jeans inside their boots. It’s a fun alternative to the traditional style in which jeans are worn over boots. If you are wearing a bold pair of boots and want to show them off to the world, for instance, you may want to tuck your jeans inside them. Doing so will emphasize your boots, making them more visible. But how exactly are you supposed to squeeze the bottom of your jeans into an already tight-fitting pair of boots?
Choose the Right Jeans
Of course, the secret to tucking jeans inside boots relies heavily on the “cut” of the jeans. If the bottom portion of your jeans are too wide and/or baggy, you’ll naturally have a hard time trying to tuck them inside your boots. On the other hand, a pair of jeans with a slim and narrow leg that doesn’t taper open at the bottom will be far easier to tuck inside boots. For this reason, it’s recommended that you choose either straight-leg or skinny jeans, both of which are better suited for this type of style.
Jeans First, Then Boots
Assuming you are wearing skinny or straight-leg jeans, you should have little-to-no problem tucking the bottom inside boots. Just remember to put your jeans on first, and then your boots. If necessary, you can always undo some of your boots’ laces so they’ll fit more easily. Once your boots are over your jeans, you can re-lace them back up — and now you are good to go!
Socks Matter
What type of socks do you plan on wearing? Conventional wisdom should lead you to believe that thicker socks, such as those made of wool, will make it difficult to squeeze jeans inside your boots. Therefore, it’s best to stick with thin, cotton socks instead.
What About Regular Jeans?
While skinny and straight-leg jeans are the preferred choice when tucking the bottom inside boots, this style can still be achieved using standard jeans as well. With that said, you’ll have to be a little creative when wearing standard jeans in this manner. To do this, start by folding the bottom portion of your jeans about 6″ up your ankle. Next, pull the extra denim and fold it over to make a crease. By eliminating the extra denim fabric, your boots should slide right over your jeans.
