The latest snaps from fashion week have shown editors, stylists, and the like tucking their pants into their boots. The result is surprisingly very refreshing and not as man-repelling as you might presume. A couple of things to keep in mind if you’re giving it a go; first, pick a boot that hits at your shin or above. If it’s a super low cut you won’t get the full effect and it might just look like you skipped out on your tailor. Second, choose materials that will drape into footwear easily. A pair of stiff corduroys, for example, is not the best option. Lastly, get creative with the color palette. You’re already trying out something new, might as well double down and make it look intentional.
Ahead, a handful of outfits that translate this ’80s-inspired styling trick to 2019, and a few boot and pant pairings to shop for the new season ahead.
