Dunno if I can pull off boots with skinny jeans.

Yankees and aggy tuck their jeans inside their boots.

Won't let me add an option for Apple Bottom Jeans, or Boots With the Fur.

Jeans only get tucked into boots if you are about to do something that would get the jeans muddy or otherwise dirty and said tucking will protect them. Or if you get drunk at a bonfire and don't gaf.

Agree with this

Where's the option for boots and cargo shorts?

Correct.  Hog farmers usually tuck jeans into boots.

And Oklahoma I think.

There used to be a joke about tucking your jeans in your boots for the purpose of restraining goats and sheep and other livestock (by similarly tucking their hind legs into your boots).

You can achieve most of the same function (the mud function, not the livestock porking function), by hiking your jeans up and letting them catch on the scallop.  A less controversial look.

I'd usually rather get my jeans muddy and keep my boots clean.

That's as good an answer as I've ever seen on Surly.

There are a few exceptions. Say you just got a new pair of kickass custom boots made and you want to show them off at work. Tuck your pants in for that day, but only that day. 

Just woke up and have to go outside to feed the chickens or whatever animals you've got? Pull on your boots and whatever happens to your pants happens. I don't really make a distinction between tucking them in and letting them hang up on the top.

But if you are going somewhere in public and you don't have brand new custom boots and you intentionally tuck your pants into them and you aren't a hot chick with a great rack then you need to be taken out back and shot.

Still only acceptable if you are woman. Seriously, I can’t tell if posts like this and the OP are joking or if people actually think that it’s ok for dudes to walk around in public like that. It’s not. It never has been.

Working in a muddy hog pen or feeding the chickens in the early morning, yeah sure, but boots over jeans as a fashion statement out in public is douchebaggery of epic proportions.

quite literally the first thing i think of when i see dudes with their jeans tucked in

If you're going to tuck jeans into cowboy boots then only tuck the jeans into the inside portion of boot shaft and leave the jeans hanging out over the outside portion of the boot shaft.  As such:

Ok, yankee.

Sometimes you have to throw your pants on and boots on in a hurry when you got to get the hell out of Dodge. 

 

 

A lot of the old farmers/ranchers I knew as a kid always had one pants leg over the boot, and the other hung half on the top.  I never knew if it was a fashion statement or laziness.  

Jeans (or pants for that matter) are optional.  Vaseline is not.  I've got it all over.  It's down in my boots.  I can feel it squishing between my toes...

I read this as "peons" at first and thought it a bit harsh. But after thinking further, I'll allow it.
