Originally meant for construction jobs and manual labor, Timberland boots have transformed into a versatile and iconic fashion statement over the past few decades. From flannels and jackets to dresses and peacoats, these sturdy boots work well with a variety of different ensembles. If you’re in need of a little inspiration, take a peek at this list to help you get started.
The Best Ways to Wear Timberland Boots
- Tuck slim-leg pants, baggy jeans, or joggers into Timberland boots.
- Roll up the cuff of your pants to just above the top of your boots.
- Wear sweatpants or leggings with Timberlands for a casual, comfy look.
Steps
-
Pick out a pair of pants with a slim fit. This pants style helps balance out the bulkiness of your Timberlands. [1] X Research source
- For a winter ensemble, pull a pair of socks into the bottoms of your pants. Then, tuck both your socks and pants into your Timbs.
-
Roll up your pants so they stop just above the tongue of your boot. Make the cuff around 2 inches (5.1 cm) wide and roll it 3 times to get a hem that falls just above the boot. [2] X Research source
- This basic cuff works best with a slim-cut pair of pants.
-
Timbs and comfy bottoms are great for lounging around. Top the outfit off with a flannel to complete this cozy look. [3] X Research source
- Elevate the look with an interesting sweater or bag to keep it more fashion-forward.
- Keep your look casual with a hoodie.
-
Leave the laces out of the top 2 eyelets. Then, loosen up the laces and either leave them untied or tie them loosely. [4] X Research source
- To avoid your Timberlands falling off of your feet, lace the bottom eyelets more tightly and leave the laces loose around the ankles.
- You can also try re-lacing the shoes while skipping every other eyelet. Leave the top eyelet undone.
June Ambrose, StylistTimberlands have become a staple in hip hop fashion by embracing the boots' rugged utilitarianism with an urban edge. 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. Timbs demand attention, so keep the rest of your look minimal.

Timbs don’t always have to be casual! You can make them look more dressed-up by lacing them tightly around your ankles. This will give you a clean, fitted look. [5] X Research source

Slip into a plain tee as the base of your outfit. Then, keep things loose with a pair of baggy jeans, along with a sturdy, rugged jacket. Slide into your Timbs to finish off this casual look. [6] X Research source

Timberlands were originally created to be work boots. To lean into this casual style, try pairing your Timbs with cargo pants or even overalls. Then, finish off the outfit with a white tee. [7] X Research source

Sweaters add a cozy, elegant touch that contrasts with your Timbs. Slip on your favorite sweater, along with a pair of slim-fitting jeans. If it’s especially cold out, bundle up in a cozy hat and scarf before braving the elements. [10] X Research source
