Show off your boots with cropped pants or cuffed jeans
These boots are made for walking and for showing off. That is why, cropped pants or cuffed jeans are the perfect piece of clothing to combine them with. Cropped pants with a flared leg are super modern in general and they definitely look best with a chunky boot. However, if you feel like they are too extravagant for you, the other option is to simply wear cuffed jeans. Just grab a pair of your favorite full length jeans and flip up the hem. That way, you will get Irina Shayk’s super modern look.

Tuck your pants into your boots
Tucking your pants into your boots seems like an old fashioned thing to do. However, when we are talking about chunky boots and flared pants, the result is a modern, trendy look, which can be seen on the runways of some of the most famous designers in the world. Pair that with an oversized sweater or coat and you are all set to take the fashion world by storm. Furthermore a cropped leather jacket is always a good addition to any outfit, so you might as well try it out.

How to style chunky boots with a dress?
Now, here it is important to note that boots come in different lengths. They might be ankle high, mid-calf boots or even below the knee boots. Naturally, same goes for dresses – they can be short, midi or full length. In general, you can style dresses with boots in any way you like, simply because the look is incredibly modern. However, there are some pairings, which look better than others.
- Short dress with any length boots. Short dresses show off your legs, so you can wear them with ankle high boots. On the other hand, if the weather is cold, you can cover them a bit more and wear below the knee boots or mid-calf high boots. In general, short dresses look good with any type of boot.
- Midi dress with ankle high or mid-calf boots. Because of the length of the midi dress, a below the knee boot will not look as good, because half of it will be covered by the dress. That is why midi dresses are perfectly complimented by ankle high or mid-calf chunky boots.
- Long dress with ankle high boots. The long dress is going to cover everything, which is why it is best to wear it with ankle high boots.
Mid-calf boots + midi dress is the perfect combination
Pair your boots with a nice skirt for the ultimate business casual outfit
When it comes to skirts the same rules apply as dresses. You can wear short skirts with a boot in any length. Midi skirts with mid-calf or ankle high boots and long skirts are best combined with ankle high boots. In general, when we are talking about pairing a skirt with boots, the best way to finish off the outfit is by wearing an oversized blazer or jacket. This will allow for a super modern business casual outfit, which is definitely going to win you the “Best Dressed” award at the office.
