Skinny jeans are a no-brainer here since they hug your body from hips to thighs to knees to calves to ankles. As the most snug of all the types of jeans out there, they’re often made with material that has some stretch to it.
Depending on fit, straight leg jeans could also work here. They’re a close cousin to skinny jeans, with the main difference being the width of the hem. As you’d guess from the name, straight leg jeans don’t taper inward at the ankles. Instead, the hem remains straight from hip to ankle for a comfortable, vintage-esque silhouette with more breathing room. In this case, you’d want the jeans to end just above the top of your ankle boots.
And last but not least, bootcut jeans! Also known as slim fit, bootcut earned its name when cowboys (circa 1850ish) needed pants that’d allow them to ride horses with enough calf space to fit their boots. In this case, your jeans will likely cover the top of your ankle boots (unless they’re cropped), which is totally okay! This will also be the case with wide leg jeans, which are a viable option for boots as well.
