When I was rattling off styles that proved the ’90s were officially back, I forgot to mention combat boots. I don’t know how I managed that one, like I haven’t been living in them. I wear them with leggings, skirts, dresses, even shorts! You may be wondering how to style combat boots the chic way, and take it from us: it’s easier than you think.
Combat boots are more versatile than they get credit for. Of course, you can wear them with denim, leggings, and even sweats, but the footwear style is just as cool styled with dresses and flowing skirts. Even tights and shorts look great with combat boots, especially when you style them with the black sheer tight style and a cute denim moment.
The trick is to treat them like you would a pair of Converse sneakers or nude ballet flats. Seriously, they go with everything. If you just purchased a pair of combat boots, get out of a style rut and start styling them with unexpected, dressy pairings. They add a bit of edge and attitude to every ensemble, giving them just the right amount of personality and keeping your wardrobe from being anything but boring.
Not convinced? Just take a look at some of our fave styles, below.
How To Style Combat Boots
Style combat boots with leggings.
A chic yet comfy option is to throw them on with leggings with a long tunic or sweater. The best part is the leggings really keep all the attention on your combat boot, so it’s making a bold statement even with a chill, loungewear look.
Toughen up a dress.
My favorite way to toughen up a super girly dress like something floral or lacy is to pair it with this footwear style. That contrast is visually appealing and stylish, and really takes your outfits to a whole new level.
Wear them with short shorts.
Tone down the sexiness of a pair of short shorts with something masculine like combat boots, and if it’s cold, just add in some black tights.
Tuck into jeans.
You most certainly can pair these boots with your favorite pair of skinnies. I prefer to wear black skinnies with black boots to elongate my frame, but they go well with any type of denim.

Cute rugged look for the young at heart.
I love combat boots because they can match with various casual fashion trends. For example, you can wear combat boots with denim shorts , wear them with a casual short dress, wear them with skinny jeans, you even wear them with a short denim skirt. But i don't know the difference between combat boots and military boots.
