So *This* Is How to Make Bootcut Jeans Look Fresh in 2025
It can take a lot of trial and error to discover the perfect style of jeans for your personal style. If barrel-leg, wide-leg, or tapered styles aren't the right fit, allow us to suggest the humble bootcut. Unlike trendier cuts, this slightly flared denim design is as close to timeless as it gets. And as we head into 2025, we're doubling down on the look by wearing denim on denim with A+ accessories.
The first step in creating this ensemble is finding a denim shirt that pairs well with your favorite bootcut jeans. Once you identify the best bottoms, shop for a shirt with a similar wash—it doesn't have to be a perfect match—then mine your wardrobe for boots, coats, and accessories to complete the look.
Keep scrolling to browse items to mix and match to achieve this elegant denim-on-denim bootcut outfit. Incorporate a mix of textures to keep it interesting, and feel free to layer up accordingly. A pair of hidden cozy socks also goes perfectly with this polished look!
