Wondering how to wear brown boots? Brown boots are a veritable staple in any men’s closet, and it’s easy to see why. Neutral and classic, they can be worn with almost any shade and are easily dressed up or down. 


But, how do you style brown boots for any occasion? Can you wear black pants with brown shoes? What about light brown shoes and black chinos? From knee-high boots to leather ankle shoes, let’s explore how to put together the right look for you. 




NEUTRAL AND CLASSIC, THEY CAN BE WORN WITH ALMOST ANY SHADE AND ARE EASILY DRESSED UP OR DOWN.

In January 2021, retail sales in shoe stores across the United States reached 2.02 billion US dollars. With the wider population investing extensively into their shoe closet, it’s worth exploring how to style brown boots well.


What colors go with brown boots? From dark brown boots to lighter brown ankle boots, let’s explore what to wear with pairs of brown boots for men this season. 




CAN YOU WEAR BROWN BOOTS WITH BLACK PANTS?

Do brown boots go with black pants? Yes. You can easily wear black pants with brown boots and look instantly put together. Brown shoes paired with black or dark pants can add a modern element to traditional workwear. 


However, styling your dark brown ankle boots or Chelsea boots with black can be a challenge. The key to making the look work is to guarantee contrast. 




“HERE AT TIMBERLAND, WE RECOMMEND PAIRING LIGHTER BROWN OR TAN SHOES WITH BLACK SKINNY JEANS OR CHINOS TO AVOID MONOTONY.” 

While black leather shoes or black boots and black pants can be too monochrome, brown men’s shoes strike the perfect balance between business casual and dress shoes. 


First, keep an eye out for key features, including the gradient of the leather, the formality of the occasion, and the level of color contrast in our outfit. 


Here at Timberland, we recommend pairing lighter brown or tan shoes with black skinny jeans or chinos to avoid monotony. Maximize contrast with tan, camel, or cognac brown leather shoes or Timberland boots. 


While Timberland Ultra Leather Chukka Boots might be preferable for a more formal occasion, you can easily dress down your look with our range of brown leather hiking boots

WHAT TO WEAR WITH BROWN BOOTS MALE?

Wondering what to wear with brown suede boots for menswear? The options are virtually endless with men’s style, and whatever outfit you choose to wear ultimately depends on where you’re headed. Embrace smart casual wear with jeans and a white t-shirt, or opt for black chinos and a button-down for a more elevated evening out.    


The first element to consider is color contrast. We always recommend maintaining a contrast between your pants and shoes for added versatility. Prioritize lighter-colored leather boots for a day out, such as Wheat Suede or Tan.




CAN YOU WEAR BROWN BOOTS WITH BLACK JEANS?

Yes. Black jeans pair well with high-quality brown boots for both casual and semi-formal outfits. Before you reach for your new Timberland lace-up boots, be sure to pair the right tone and leatherwork with your favorite denim for a night out.


When it comes to black jeans, consider desert boots or work boots for a laid-back look. Generally, lighter brown boots or loafers are ideal for more casual outfits, especially with added contrast. Your boots should be distinctly lighter than your black or dark-colored jeans. 




“BEFORE YOU REACH FOR YOUR NEW TIMBERLANDS, BE SURE TO PAIR THE RIGHT TONE AND LEATHERWORK WITH YOUR FAVORITE DENIM.”

If you’re looking for a more business-formal style, consider darker brown boots with black jeans and an oxford button-down shirt. For a dressier approach, Timberland’s Suede Chelsea Boots or Chukka boots are an excellent option.
