How to Wear Timberland Boots

The humble Timberland boot has been falling in and out of style for as long as we can remember. While, understandably, it has its moments where it can better suit the prevailing style, but when worn correctly, it can work regardless of its popularity. To show you exactly how it’s done we’ve put together some essential looks and the accompanying pieces to let you rock your boots with style.

Timberland Boots: Outfit Inspiration

Timberlands are everywhere. So many people own a pair of Timberlands which make great shoes for multiple reasons. These boots can, however, be tricky to style. That’s why we have put together this quick guide on how to wear different Timberlands with different looks. With these following looks, you should be able to style your Timberlands with ease.

The All-black Outfit

For a style more suited to streetwear, try out an all-black ensemble with some slim fit ripped (or unripped) jeans. The slim cut jeans lend themselves well to the chunkier fit of the boots. Wear this with a black jacket to enhance the all-black look. To make it look the best it can, try to go for plain black clothing as patterns might disrupt the vibe you’re going for. You could either wear a street-style jacket such as one from The North Face or go for a smarter one (depending on the style you want to go for). Top off the look with a plain black T-shirt underneath your jacket and of course, a pair of classic Timberland all-black boots. Easy!

Adventure Cupsole Timberland Boots

Timberland boots are also spot on for the current workwear trend. They’re totally in line with the durability and rugged aesthetic. Without pushing the boat out too far, the outfit below shows how versatile their styles are. You might think of Timberland and automatically assume a pair of 6″ Premium boots are your only option – this is not the case. Timberland caters to most styles and these Adventure 2.0 Cupsole Chk Tan boots are some of our favourites. They make a great alternative for those who despise wearing chunky boot son their feet/ankles. This look can be teamed with a pair of raw denim roll-up jeans and a simple, plain white T-shirt for a relaxed vibe that can also pass as being dressed smartly. To go even more smart, layer a shirt over the white T-shirt, buttoned or unbuttoned.

Stick To Basics

You can never go wrong with staple pieces, no matter what the look is. Try pairing the chunkier silhouette of a pair of Timberland boots with some plain black jeans. We’d go for a slim leg fit for this to keep it smart-casual. You can then put anything up top, from a white Oxford shirt to a simple white T-shirt. Why not layer over a plain sweater for a failsafe combination that will be ideal to match with your jeans. If it’s a chillier day, layer up again with a parka jacket for a snug and rainproof finish.

Dress Them Up

Who said a pair of Timberland boots can’t be dressed up? With a black pair of boots it’s certainly possible, as long as you get the rest of the outfit right too. Start with a pair of trousers – a slim-fit pair of chinos is a great place to start as they give off a smarter vibe than jeans do. You could equally go for a pair of suit trousers, as long as they are loose at the ankle. Next, you need to make sure your ankle is on display (with socks). You can achieve this by either buying a cropped pair of chinos/trousers, by going to the tailor and getting them taken up or by rolling them up (this will only work for chinos). Don’t worry, there are plenty of looks where cropped trousers will be your go-to, so it won’t be a pair wasted by any means.

Next up, the top half. To play it safe, opt for a roll neck top or jumper and partner it with a smart black jacket. A peacoat or an overcoat is your best bet.
