This Jeans-and-Boots Combo Is Unexpectedly Flattering

Come fall and winter, skinny jeans and ankle boots are an essential combination. But if you're starting to feel bored with the same standard uniform, swapping your denim might just be the simplest solution. A pair of wide-leg jeans is an underappreciated alternative to break out ASAP. Not only is a wider silhouette ideal for concealing a pair of fleece tights underneath (practical, right?), but there's also something cool about going for the opposite of your usual pick.
As proof that wide-leg jeans can be an unexpectedly flattering choice, we're highlighting Margot Robbie sporting a dark-wash pair below. Dressed in a matching denim top and bottoms, Robbie makes a case for the Canadian tuxedo as eveningwear. And her high-waisted jeans lengthen the legs instantly when styled simply with a pair of black ankle boots. So if you're ready to road test a new denim look, this might be just the thing.
Read on to see Margot Robbie's denim ensemble and to shop more wide-leg jeans.
