During winter season, you will find these military boots very essential because they cover your feet very well and they ensure that your feet stays warm the all day. These military boots differ in style; we have the short military boots and those which go above the ankle.
For beginners, I suggest you opt for short military boots, the ones which stop just around the ankle; the best example is boot (1). Knee high military boots are for those who are comfortable with heavy boots; however, these boots are warmer than the ankle military boots because they cover almost the all leg, so they tend to be the best boots for winter.
PICTURES OF MEN WEARING MILITARY BOOTS:
The good thing is that these boots come in many colors and styles, so you can have more than one option of styling them. For those who want to wear these boots in a British style, you might opt for British colors like blue, black and brown.
If you want to wear boots with suits, then you should opt for Chelsea boots not military boots. Chelsea boots are formal boots so they match well with suits, yet military boots are casual boots, they only match with casual outfits.
Today on Olixe, I have compiled a list of the best military boots every man would love to wear, at least you will find a boot of your interest on this list, i have listed both knee high and ankle military boots with tips on what to wear with them.

If you decide to wear buggy jeans with these boots, it will require you to tie-up those laces, because buggy jeans don’t look good on fold-over boots.
Tip 2: Do you like skinny cargo pants, if yes, these military boots will match well with those skinny cargo pants. You can complement the trend with a round-neck t-shirt and a casual biker jacket.

Complementing your trend with a tweed jacket like the guys in the picture above is also a wise idea, but if you don’t have a tweed jacket then opt for biker leather jackets.
