When showing off leather boots, tight snow boots, or rain boots, it's a good idea to tuck the hem of your jeans into them. However, this style is sometimes not easy – or simple – to display. If your pants aren't long enough to fit into your shoes, don't worry. With a few tips, tricks, and minor modifications, you can fit the hem of any type of jeans into your favorite boots.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Using Socks
Step 1. Roll up your jeans
If the jeans are too long, you will need to roll them up. The hem of the pants should not go past the ankles. Rolling it up ensures that the pants are right over the boots. This technique works best on loose-fitting pants, such as flared or boot cut jeans.
Step 2. Fold the excess material outwards
Grasp the bottom hem of your jeans, right at the seam on the inside, and pull them away from your feet. In other words, you need to make the jeans material stretch as far as possible. After that, fold the jeans vertically tightly. Now, your pants will feel tight at the ankles. Don't open the fold.
Step 3. Pull the sock so that it covers the rolled and folded part of the jeans
Keep using one hand to hold the crease of the jeans. Then, use the other hand to put the sock over the crease. The socks should be tight enough to hold the creases in the jeans so they don't change shape.
Step 4. Put on the shoes as usual
Wear shoes carefully to cover socks. The socks should be able to hold the creases of the jeans in place so they don't appear to clump or slide off the shoe. Voila! No one will know that the hem of the pants is secured with the sock inside the shoe.
Method 2 of 3: Wearing Glove Clips
Step 1. Purchase a pair of glove clips
For those of you who don't know, this tool is a small fastener used to attach gloves to sleeves so they don't fall off. You may be able to find them at your nearest convenience store, but it's much easier to find them online. You can buy packs at a time for less through a buy and sell website, like Amazon, or look for homemade products on websites like Etsy.
Step 2. Secure each end of the clip on the hem of both sides of the jeans
This strap will be looped under the leg. Position the clip to ensure it feels comfortable and doesn't tickle. If you're wearing flared or long jeans, you can clip the excess material to secure it.
- Make sure the clip doesn't hit the bone in the ankle. This can make you feel uncomfortable.
- The strap should be close to the center of the foot.
Step 3. Put on your boots
Once your jeans are clamped securely and the straps looped under your stirrup-style legs, you can put on your boots. A glove clip will make this much easier! You don't have to worry about the pants getting lumpy when you put them in your shoes, or getting your hands caught when you put them in your shoes to tidy up your jeans.
After putting on your boots, take a short walk around the house before going outside. You have to make sure that the clips are positioned comfortably and that they are attached properly
Method 3 of 3: Perfecting the Style
Step 1. Make sure your boots match your trouser style
If you're wearing traditional leather boots or neat high boots, it's a good idea to make sure your jeans look neat and matched too. This will create a long, smooth silhouette that will make your legs appear longer and give you a more organized appearance. However, if you're wearing thick army boots, snow boots, bulky boots, and so on, the jeans don't need to be tucked in neatly.
Sometimes, neatly tucked in and perfectly tucked in just don't match the style of the boots. Loose jeans that are left to clump together on top of casual boots will make you look relaxed and trendy
Step 2. Just tuck in the pants
Try to put on your shoes without touching your jeans and watch the results. Sometimes, jeans can expand in a way that creates a cool look that makes you look comfortable and natural. Before you try to fold your pants as neatly as possible and put on your shoes, see if sloppy wear actually looks good.
Step 3. Know what jeans match your boots
In the end, your favorite flare pants might go well with casual army shoes, while your skinny jeans might go well with high suede boots. There's no worse look than a mix of puffy baggy pants and tight boots. So, you have to understand which pants match the type of boots you are wearing. That way, you don't have to bother adjusting the position of your pants and shoes (and get annoyed) while wearing them all day!
