How to Hold Skinny Jeans Down in Boots

Skinny jeans can be fashionable with many different types of boots.

Holding skinny jeans down in boots can be challenging. The jeans are often prone to bunching or creeping up along the calves from the bottom, which can create rolls in the fabric and make it feel uncomfortable. Depending on the type of outfit you're wearing, you may need to vary your approach for keeping your skinny jeans down inside your boots. Buy skinny jeans that fit your body well and don't slouch below your waist. Wearing a belt can also help to keep the jeans taut along your legs, no matter what type of boots you're wearing.

Instructions

1. Use rubber bands to hold your skinny jeans down in boots. Wrap one around each ankle once or twice over your jeans, depending on the size of the rubber band. This keeps your jeans from moving around and creeping up your legs. You can also use hair rubber bands if you don't have regular ones.

2. Fold up the fabric at the bottom of each pant leg. Put on a pair of tight-fitting socks over the jeans. This keeps the jeans down inside your boots and prevents the fabric from bunching up.

3. Consider buying skinny jeans that are cropped or Capri length. This style of jeans is more likely to stay put inside boots, since the boots are taller than the bottom of the pants and there's less fabric near your calves and ankles.

4. Wear skinny jeans that made of a stretchy fabric. These give the appearance of wearing regular skinny jeans but will stay down in boots better as the fabric is more fitted to your body.

5. Put on a thick pair of socks either over or under your skinny jeans. Use a couple safety pins to secure the jeans to your socks. This keeps the bottom of the jeans from moving around and helps them stay put inside your boots.
