How do you wear a bootie?
The easiest way to wear a bootie is with jeans. Yes, you can wear them with a straight leg or boot cut denim and let the hem of the jean cover the boot. But these babies are meant to be shown off, not hidden under the hem.
How to wear ankle boots with jeans?
It’s ideal if the hem of your jeans hits around the ankle so that there is space between the top of the boot and your jeans. This works well with a more cropped skinny jean that hits the ankle paired with an ankle boot that has a short shaft. This way, the top of your booties don’t touch your jeans!
What kind of booties should you wear with straight leg jeans?
You can also wear medium and tall booties with straight leg jeans. I’m loving these black jeans paired with brown ankle boots that have a medium shaft. The jeans are grazing the ankle and top of the boot. If you have a straight leg jean that is longer than ankle length, you can wear those with any height bootie as well.
How to wear booties with skinny jeans and a blouse?

How to wear a bootie with jeans?
Try your bootie with a skinny jean to give the footwear a bit more attention. The jean should never puddle or scrunch at the ankle. Instead, the hem should skim the top of the shank of the boot. Are your jeans too long? Roll them with a tiny cuff, leaving about a half-inch between the bottom of the jean and the top of the boot. The look feels intentional and plays well with the studied casual vibe that a bootie and jean evoke. If you have more than a few inches of denim to roll into a cuff, skip the bootie. You want a tiny, tight cuff, not a giant doughnut of fabric at the ankle.
