Some style tricks look easier than they actually are. For instance, although wearing knee-high boots over jeans has been in for a few years now, I know it's taken me a while to get a grasp on the best technique! But I'm here to share -- and illustrate -- exactly how it is done for the best, most stylish effect!

First off, a few pointers: The look does definitely work better with straight, skinny jeans or jeggings, if you can get on board with those! (One super-easy to wear, flattering pair from American Eagle.) Boot cut jeans are doable, too, and we'll explore what you need to do differently if you're attempting to tuck those! Also, you will need the following: Your jeans, mid-calf or knee-high length and fitted (aka not bulky, bunchy) socks, and boots that have some room at the shaft.

Okay, now let's rock this look!
