Choosing Biker Boots

Biker boots are great for the colder months as they are functional yet fashionable. Read the labels carefully to ensure the pair you pick are waterproof so you can rock them any time of year.^{[1]XResearch source}
If you’re looking to make biker boots the focal point of your outfit, you may not want a plain, black pair. Instead, look for a pair in a bright color or with lots of details, like studs, chains, buckles, snaps, or laces.^{[2]XResearch source}

Biker boots are made from a variety of materials depending on the style and brand. If you will be wearing the boots when riding your bike, choose a pair with a rubber sole to prevent scuff marks on your bike.
The boots should be the right size for maximum comfort. Try on your favorite style in a few sizes to determine which fit the best. You should be able to move your ankle and foot around comfortably, and your feet should be well supported by the boots.^{[3]XResearch source}

Creating Masculine Outfits

1
Pair straight-leg jeans with biker boots for a casual feel. Straight-leg jeans should fit nicely over the biker boots and create a streamlined silhouette. Add a tee, hoodie, or other casual top for running errands or meeting up with friends.^{[4]XResearch source}
- For instance, wear a graphic tee and distressed jeans with biker boots.
2
Dress up biker boots with trousers and a button-up. You can still wear your favorite biker boots to work or special events if you pair them with the right items. Adding nice trousers and a dressier top can transform the boots from weekend to workplace.^{[5]XResearch source}
- For a semi-formal occasion, you could pair black trousers with a solid button-up and a patterned vest.
3
Cuff the bottom of your jeans to show off your biker boots. Rather than hiding your boots, draw attention to them. Roll up the bottom of your jeans about 2 inches (5.1 cm) to highlight your boots. Instead of rolling the jeans up more than once, stick to 1 cuff for an effortless but trendy look.^{[6]XResearch source}
- For example, pair cuffed jeans and biker boots with a raglan tee and a baseball cap.
4
Wear biker boots with a leather jacket for a classic look. When most people think of biker boots, they think the quintessential bad boy wearing denim, leather, and biker boots. To emulate this style, pick a pair of comfy jeans and a simple leather jacket.^{[7]XResearch source}
- For instance, dark-wash denim jeans would look great paired with a solid white tee and a black leather jacket.^{[8]XExpert SourceNeepa Sikdar

Styling Biker Boots Femininely

1
Tuck skinny jeans into biker boots for an everyday look. Biker boots are a perfect match for skinny jeans, as the jeans fit easily underneath the boots.^{[9]XExpert SourceNeepa Sikdar
Personal StylistExpert Interview. 11 February 2022.} You can add a pretty blouse to dress up the look or rock a graphic tee for a more casual vibe.
- For example, wear biker boots and nice skinny jeans with a patterned sweater while running errands in the fall.
- Or, you could pair distressed skinny jeans with your favorite concert T-shirt and an open hoodie when meeting up with your friends on the weekend.
2
Pair patterned leggings with biker boots for dramatic flair. Pick a pair of leggings with a bright or busy pattern to make them the focus of your outfit. Select a simple top so your ensemble doesn’t get overwhelming, and add a few accessories to tie the look together.^{[10]XResearch source}
- For instance, bright blue Aztec-print leggings would look great with a solid black top and biker boots. Finish off the look with simple stud earrings and a couple bangle bracelets.
3
Add contrast to your outfit by pairing biker boots with a feminine dress. Pumps and flats are not the only shoes you can wear with a feminine dress! Pick a dress with a hemline above top of the boots and add other casual items to balance out your look.
- For example, a rose-patterned slip dress would look amazing underneath a cropped leather jacket when paired with biker boots.
4
Wear capri pants or shorts to show off your biker boots. In the warmer months, you can pair capri pants or shorts with your favorite biker boots to make them the focal point of your look. If you go with capris, pick a pair that end just above the tops of the boots. Keep the rest of your outfit simple to highlight your boots, especially if they have buckles or other eye-catching details.
- For instance, pair dark-wash denim capris with an off-the-shoulder top.
- Or, wear biker boots with distressed denim shorts, a blank tank top, and an open flannel button-down.
5
Pair a mini skirt with biker boots to add sex appeal. Biker boots don’t just have to be for running errands. Wear them with a short skirt and a flirty top for a night out on the town. Add a few complementary accessories to dress up your outfit even more.^{[11]XExpert SourceNeepa Sikdar
