What Boots Fashion Pros Will Be Wearing With Wide-Leg Jeans in Fall 2025

You may have heard rumblings of skinny jeans being back in style, but that doesn’t mean wide-leg jeans are going away anytime soon. Dramatic, expansive, and full of personality, these pants will continue to make a statement in fall 2025 and demand a shoe that matches their confident energy. Which is why we’re looking to the most fashionable women we know to determine what boots to wear with wide-leg jeans.

The Fall 2025 trends we’ve seen so far make it clear that flared jeans are not a passing trend, but rather a style secret weapon. Dress them up or down, the exaggerated silhouette still makes a statement. That said, it’s a pair of well-chosen and well-executed boots that act as the anchor. They’re what turns a good outfit into a great one.

So, here’s what boots to wear with wide-leg jeans this fall.

Wide-Leg Culottes + Brown Boots

A ‘70s-inspired pant needs a boot that can match the warmth and texture of the decade. Enter the brown equestrian boot, which softens the look without losing too much of the boho vibe. It’s an outfit made for cozy afternoons at the coffee shop or strolling through the park.

Classic Blue Jeans + A Western Boot

This combo doesn’t come to play. A pair of medium-wash jeans in a wide cut already has a natural retro energy. But combine them with a snakeskin boot, and the whole ensemble becomes an aesthetic statement. It’s sharp and modern, with just a hint of rodeo flair.

Light-Wash Jeans + Black Patent Boots

Light and dark is a combination and contrast that admits no middle ground. Apply the formula to flared white or light-wash jeans with pointed black boots for a Parisian vibe that’s all visual precision and model off-duty elegance. The result is a look that is sharp and intentional, refined but punchy.

White Jeans + Metallic Boots

This combination is like something out of an Architectural Digest editorial. (And before you ask, yes, we are wearing white jeans after Labor Day now.) White flared jeans visually match gold metallic boots for a refined silhouette. It’s the perfect formula for days when you’re looking to convey an air of effortless sophistication without disappearing. Everything is tonal, controlled, and tactile. A look that screams, “I do know fashion, but I don’t need to say it out loud.”

Washed Gray Jeans + Heeled Black Boots

A washed-out gray jean with a loose fit is effortlessly polished when paired with block-heeled black boots. You don’t need to have a Labubu to be on trend with this look, just a structured handbag and stacked earrings. This outfit is quiet sophistication with a little downtown edge.

Black Jeans + Chocolate Boots

Few looks manage to be as restrained yet daring at the same time as an all-black ensemble. This fall, give the formula a subtle twist—and cleverly break a major fashion rule at the same time—by paring your wide-leg black jeans with boots in a deep chocolate brown. The intentional combo conveys a sense of authority: The kind of person who always arrives on time, leads the meeting, and never misses a step.

Flared Jeans + Platform Boots

Extra wide dark and medium-wash denim will elevate any outfit, but platform boots can take the look to new heights (literally and figuratively). Practical as it is eye-catching, this look is made for marching down cobblestone streets and ideal for those who want their silhouette to speak before their words.
