I realize that boot cuts are “new “ again , and I’m trying to work out the look I want . I don’t ever wear sneakers with jeans , ever , and don’t intend to wear them with bootcuts ( and I have a big collection of fashion sneakers too ) .Just not my look. I think they look most elegant with a bit of a heel or plat/flat form or a wedge ( a la Jennifer Aniston ) . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootcuts-and-footwear#post-2101244 Sat, 22 Feb 2020 16:29:28 +0000 kkards 2101244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>for spring..mules.&nbsp;<br />for summer..wedges<br />and nodding with Janet, re&nbsp;pointed or almond toe </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootcuts-and-footwear#post-2101234 Sat, 22 Feb 2020 15:53:56 +0000 Bennett 2101234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find my bootcut and flare jeans are by far the hardest jeans to style. The wrong footwear makes me feel either too middle-school, too hippie, too normcore, or too cowboy. The only thing that's foolproof is grabbing a sandal, so they have become summer-only bottoms.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootcuts-and-footwear#post-2101215 Sat, 22 Feb 2020 14:54:22 +0000 Janet 2101215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel like bootcuts are best suited to either a pointed or almond toe, or a substantial or flatform type of style. I also like a good block heeled, squarish-toed style with bootcuts. For some reason, round toes on a flat, small sole feel stumpy and not fab on me with flares/bootcuts. Here are some examples of what I wear with bootcuts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootcuts-and-footwear#post-2101211 Sat, 22 Feb 2020 14:42:41 +0000 CarolS 2101211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have always loved boot cut jeans with pointy toed boots. Now that I can't wear pointy toed boots anymore, I am trying to decide where or if boot cuts will fit into the mix for me. I have tried wearing my one pair of full length boot cuts with white sneakers, but I feel like that fell a bit flat. If I can get a pair of Docs to work for me, I might try that. Or maybe will experiment with a shorter bootcut to see how that works.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootcuts-and-footwear#post-2101180 Sat, 22 Feb 2020 12:14:23 +0000 Toban 2101180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love boot cut jeans and pants. For my personal style, I much prefer them with toe shapes that are pointy vs rounded, from flats, pumps, and ankle boots. I’d also consider a square toe shoe if the sides had some angularity. I’ve seen them look great with casual sneakers but it is too casual a look for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootcuts-and-footwear#post-2101162 Sat, 22 Feb 2020 08:57:57 +0000 notsaf 2101162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore all rise boot cuts almost exclusively from about 1994-2010. I'm enjoying the demi cropped version, but not ready for full length yet! I still like them best with heels, and I'm not into heels now. I find the cropped versions to be more versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootcuts-and-footwear#post-2101134 Sat, 22 Feb 2020 04:27:45 +0000 Suz 2101134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, for me it's all about fashion vs. gear sneakers -- I can't do it with my gear sneaks!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootcuts-and-footwear#post-2101132 Sat, 22 Feb 2020 04:24:08 +0000 slim cat 2101132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dressier sneakers like from ECCO, or platform oxfords. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootcuts-and-footwear#post-2101088 Sat, 22 Feb 2020 00:57:53 +0000 Jules 2101088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about with flatform sneakers? I like my bootcuts with my black and white snakeskin slip on sneakers that have a thick white sole (so not quite a flatform but a substantial high contrast sole). It’s really clear my sneakers are fashion, not gear and that helps to my eye - I think I would feel a bit too ‘unintentional normcore’ if I wore my New Balance sneakers, even if in theory I know it’s a current look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootcuts-and-footwear#post-2101081 Sat, 22 Feb 2020 00:24:33 +0000 Murph11 2101081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm 100% with you!&nbsp;Happy to have FULL LENGTH bootcut back in my life (now with a mid-rise), as of <b>today! </b>I plan to wear them with snake loafers, boots, mules, brogues, and although I personally have a hard time with sneakers with jeans (yes, still), I will give them a serious try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootcuts-and-footwear#post-2101076 Sat, 22 Feb 2020 00:10:39 +0000 Angie 2101076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What <b>Suz</b> said.<i> <b></b>And since I was with Suz when she bought her new bootcuts</i>&nbsp;- I know they look KILLER refreshed, trendy and amazing!&nbsp;</p> <p>Look at how <b>Janet</b> wears her bootcut jeans. She's Queen Bootcuts and wears them beautifully too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootcuts-and-footwear#post-2101074 Sat, 22 Feb 2020 00:03:22 +0000 Suz 2101074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love my new bootcuts. I actually got them hemmed to wear with sneakers and/ or I can wear them at the new slightly shorter than before length with a heel -- so they are versatile in the way the elegant floor sweeping lengths are not.&nbsp;</p> <p>The jeans I bought are below, and so are some of the shoes I have worn them with. Some people prefer a pointed toe with a boot cut, and it does look really sharp to my eye. But a rounded toe sneaker is fun and funky. Angie encouraged me to try it and I've enjoyed it for casual wear.&nbsp;</p> <p>Remember, the rise is probably (hopefully!) different on the new bootcuts. This one is billed as mid-rise but it is almost at my navel. So definitely not a low-rise jean. The higher rise means the leg line is lengthened even if you are wearing flats. The leg line will be shortened with a low rise and flats.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootcuts-and-footwear#post-2101071 Fri, 21 Feb 2020 23:56:04 +0000 always trying 2101071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just read somewhere that for bootcuts to look current you should wear them with heels. The heels do not have to be very high, just not sneakers or flats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootcuts-and-footwear#post-2101047 Fri, 21 Feb 2020 22:43:28 +0000 Synne 2101047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am also wondering this. I can't help but feel very dated in bootcuts. This is what i wore back in high school! It's much easier to style mom-jeans, balloon jeans, pleatfronts and the like. Those styles are new to me, and fresh to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootcuts-and-footwear#post-2101044 Fri, 21 Feb 2020 22:39:25 +0000 Lavender&Mint 2101044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My pear-shaped self is VERY happy for the return to bootcuts. It is much easier for me to find a pair of bootcuts that fit well and even flatter.</p> <p>However, I am out of practice in styling bootcuts! Other than wearing the obvious -- boots, duh -- what current footwear would be appropriate? Especially for casual wear. My usual fashion sneaks (a pair of dove-gray New Balances) don't quite look right, but I can't quite pinpoint why. It's probably a proportion issue. All I know is that it reminds me of the early '00s, when I was a college student who lived in in low-rise bootcuts with a pair of Skechers.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p>
