What kind of boots to wear with wide leg jeans?
The key to styling wide-leg jeans with boots lies in choosing the right heel height, shape and width. While sky-high stilettos with wide-leg pants do create a runway-worthy look, they may not be the most comfortable or practical choice for an active day.
A better option is a block heel. Block heels provide extra support and stability, allowing you to confidently stride through your day in style.
Don’t discount the comfort of a slim heel, especially if the heel is only one or two inches in height. A low, sleek heel provides just enough lift to balance out the voluminous silhouette of wide-leg pants while still allowing freedom of movement.
