I do own one pair of skinny jeans and I've tried a bunch of times to tuck them into my boots -- but it never lasts. As soon as I sit down, the pants start to pull out of the boot and then I have this blowsy fabric bunch around my knees / the top of the boots. Another reason skinny jeans drive me nuts!
What am I doing wrong? Are my jeans not tight enough? Is there a "trick"?

You probably need tighter skinny jeans in the leg part?

Your jeans must not be tight enough, or your boots aren't tall enough? I wear skinnies + boots often and this doesn't happen to me!

Usually I wear some long-ish socks over my skinnies to hold them in my boots. When I'm putting the socks over the jeans I neatly fold up any excess jean material along one of the seams. This keeps the jeans from bunching around my ankles/calves under the socks, and also from sliding out of the boots. This same method works if you want to wear non-skinny jeans with boots.

Use mitten clips to make a stirrup?
I don't have this issue because I'm short.

Mine stay down, but when I wear regular style jeans I fold them 80s style - folding/tucking the fabric in along the inside seam, and then rolling up the cuff once or twice!
Like this but tighter:

@sorrycharlie: that picture is awesome. I hope you stand all sassy like that when you fold them.
I think the problem is partly they aren't tight enough, but also folding them helPs a lot. I fold them up to just above the ankle, and they are tight enough that they won't actually slide up higher- like it's hard to get socks under them. But that means they are extra unflattering without the boots.

@Foodnerd81: LOL. A google search of "80s rolled jeans"was to some highly amusing results

Mine are really skinny around the ankle and they stay down. I also wear them with very tall boots

Most of the time they stay down but I ditto pp about folding them to make them tighter at the ankle. I'll also tuck them into my socks if I know I won't need to take off my shoes!

My jeans are not only skinny but super stretchy too... kind of like jeggings. But more jean-like than legging-like. So mine don't do that.

I wear long socks over the bottom of them to prevent it fr happening.

I have a couple pairs of skinnys that aren't tight enough to not bunch so I tighten them around the ankle and put on a pair of knee high socks over them.

@Mrs. Tricycle: Sounds like your jeans are more straight-legged than skinny? Last fall I bough a couple of cheap pairs of very skinny jeans specifically to wear with boots and they're great! They have to be pretty tight on the calves to not ride up.

I have the same problem with my skinny jeans. My problem is any jeans that fit me in the waist are too big in the leg to stay down in boots. Skinny or not.

yeah, sounds like what happens with my straight legs instead of skinny jeans.

i've heard of ppl sewing on stirrups of some kind to help with that!
here is an easy looking diy to try: http://gogingham.com/2012/07/the-elastic-stirrup-solution/
it's removable, too, so you can of course wear them normally!
