Play with exaggerated tongues, loose laces, and rolled cuffs to make them your own. Pair with baggy jeans or joggers tucked in for an authentic street vibe.

    Timberland boots look great with boyfriend jeans if you want to go for a more laid back look. They're also great with skinny jeans or leggings and some thick cable-knit socks.
