How to Style Brown Boots With Jeans and Stay on Trend Summer Through Fall

Ahh, summer… The season is here, and with it comes the usual cute sandals and volatile temperatures. Wondering how to style brown boots for the hot weather, however, was not on our fashion bingo card! But the autumnal favorite has entered the chat, and we’ve found that the unexpected summer 2025 trend is more versatile and wearable after Memorial Day than you might think.

Yes, we know that flat sandals are comfortable, espadrilles give off the perfect vacation vibes, and sneakers are the most reliable shoe. But there’s something so enigmatic and intentional about wearing brown boots in summer. Maybe it’s the “wrong shoe theory” at work, but they seem to strike the right balance between neutrality and drama.

They especially play well with another closet staple: denim. Not as soft as a beige sandal, nor as fierce as a black heel, brown boots provide a perfect middle ground that offer a defined silhouette and relaxed sophistication to your look.

Convinced? Here’s our advice on how to style brown boots with jeans this summer. Once fall approaches, add a blazer or light jacket on top for the perfect transitional outfit.
