Over the years, we ended up forgetting it… but this way of wearing boots will be everywhere this winter. In the 80’s, Lady Di made it her signature.
It is one of these eternal debates that agitates the world of fashionistas. Should we, should we not? Fashion success or fashion faux pas? Conversations around this fashion combo have been in full swing for several months. This fall-winter, our colleagues in the modosphere near home She or New Obs wondered about this way of combining these two fashion pieces that we all have at home. We are obviously talking about the boots and pants combination, particularly suitable in these cold weather.
If high boots have become discreet in recent years, hidden behind perfectly draped pants revealing only the toe of the shoe; Today they come out of their lair, uncover themselves, appear over jeans and pants to rehabilitate this popular trend of yesterday. Sophie Fontanel places her golden age in the 70s: we particularly remember this fashion moment when Diane Von Furstenberg posed alongside her husband, with flared pants tucked into the most fitted knee-high boots.
But the personality who made it her fashion signature is Lady Di. During the 80’s, the princess of hearts liked to wear her cowboy boots over pants that were sometimes fitted, sometimes baggy. This way of tucking your pants into your boots has even been called the “Diana Tuck” by journalists from Elle UK.
The end of the 2010s and the resurgence of the movement Indie Sleaze will have established the “Trouser tuck” as a trend to follow: Emily Ratajkowski, Kendall Jenner and all fashionistas will follow in Princess Diana’s footsteps, with choice fashion proposals.
If we instinctively imagine this trend with skinny jeans, it is in reality compatible with all cuts of pants: baggy, cargo, carrot, straight, flare, wide leg, jogging. Same stylistic versatility when it comes to the boots chosen: all styles are permitted, as long as the boots go higher than the ankle!
The only rather risky fashion bet: rain boots. On Tiktok, an Internet user also felt it: “My god I would look like a fisherman from the coves”, we can thus read. Of course, Pinterest has predicted the fisherman aesthetic as the key trend for 2025, but you still need to master it to get the most out of it!
