How to Wear Lace-Up Ankle Boots: 6 Easy Outfits for Men

Lace-up ankle boots are the most versatile shoe a man can own in autumn and winter. Here is how to wear a pair like the Boone Big-Size Lace-Up Boots.

1. Dark jeans and a flannel shirt

Cuff the jeans just above the boot so the lacing shows.

2. Chinos and a heavy knit

Olive or stone chinos with brown boots look smart-casual.

3. Black on black

Black jeans, black tee, black boots, plus a grey overshirt.

4. Workwear jacket

A canvas or chore jacket and straight jeans: the lug sole matches the rugged look.

5. Under a wool coat

Slim trousers and a long coat dress the boots up for the city.

6. Weekend outdoors

With a fleece and thick socks for walks and pubs.

Black or brown?

• Brown: best with denim, olive, navy and earth tones.
• Black: best with grey, black and cooler colours.

How to cuff

One or two narrow turns so the hem sits at or just above the boot top. Avoid bunching.
