What to wear with copper leather boots?

How do I fashion Red Wings Iron Rangers in the copper color for a university setting? I want that rugged, masculine look and want to make an impression. Do I go with jeans and a flannel, or perhaps a crew neck and a leather jacket? I wouldn’t know what color clothing to wear.

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Look into "Rugged Ivy" and "Dark Academia" -- I'll see if I can find some links

Also just "Americana" and choose a decade if you're set on variations of the jeans, tee, flannel look. @Soup fits in #waywt

Thanks! Would you also say those styles work for a university/college setting? If not, what can I go with instead?

tun🌻•10/12/24, 3:50 PM

Ivy and Academia are both derived from university settings so yes absolutely

senseofphysicsOP•10/12/24, 3:52 PM

Oh ok perfect thanks

senseofphysicsOP•10/12/24, 3:52 PM

Any brands recommended?

ClassClown•10/12/24, 3:58 PM

Vintage: PRL, Abercrombie, Big Mac (flannel/chambray), Levi's, Milsurp, Schott

Current ($$ - eBay is your friend): RRL, Immogen & Willie, Grant Stone (other boots), Drakes, Wythe, Orslow, Tellason, Bronson (friendlier $)

senseofphysicsOP•10/12/24, 5:30 PM

I don’t mind the price as long as the quality is good. Thanks for the recs guys!

Soup•10/12/24, 5:31 PM

Where are you located? US, UK or elsewhere?

Also, how would one know where to look on eBay? Never purchased from there

Soup•10/12/24, 5:36 PM

Usually on eBay I search for a specific brand or item by a brand and see what there is

Soup•10/12/24, 5:36 PM

You can always ask people what certain items are in their waywt posts if you see something you like

senseofphysicsOP•10/12/24, 5:37 PM

Ok gotcha. Used or new?

zeometer•10/12/24, 5:42 PM

both have their pros and cons. new items have less wear but are more expensive, used items cost less but may require more upkeep

zeometer•10/12/24, 5:43 PM

the particular genre of dress you're looking at tends to look better with worn clothes and more brands classclown highlighted are durable

senseofphysicsOP•10/12/24, 6:02 PM

Yup makes sense!

senseofphysicsOP•10/12/24, 6:07 PM

I was thinking of trying the following for now:

• slim faded blue jeans
• iron rangers copper
• copper leather belt
• light blue sweater
• black leather jacket (or synthetic light gray bomber from rag and bone)

ClassClown•10/12/24, 6:10 PM

pretty classic. just may want to stick to straight leg or cowboy cut for the jeans per current trends

ClassClown•10/12/24, 6:10 PM

r&b hasn't been great quality in my experience but I think i only bought one thing there at an airport so idk

senseofphysicsOP•10/12/24, 6:11 PM

Or it was this bomber

CClassClown r&b hasn't been great quality in my experience but I think i only bought one thi...

senseofphysicsOP•10/12/24, 6:11 PM

No, you’re right. The quality went down but the prices remained super high.

senseofphysicsOP•10/12/24, 6:12 PM

Does the copper work with the blue (not dark indigo) jeans, with copper boots and copper belt? I think the black leather jacket still works even though the belt and boots are copper, right?

ClassClown•10/12/24, 6:16 PM

matching leathers is a more classic way to go, but honestly not the biggest deal. Black and brown are usually solid. just try it in the store first i'd say

senseofphysicsOP•10/12/24, 6:19 PM

I actually have all these in the images I shared. I can wear them and share for a better idea.

ClassClown•10/12/24, 6:20 PM

always easier to help when we see the fits!

raisinpie•10/12/24, 8:23 PM

personally light blue sweater with light wash jeans sounds too matchy, but otherwise everything sounds good

senseofphysicsOP•10/12/24, 11:12 PM

What color sweater would you suggest instead?

raisinpie•10/12/24, 11:50 PM

pretty much any other color, again this is just my opinion

raisinpie•10/12/24, 11:50 PM

Light green maybe

senseofphysicsOP•10/17/24, 7:04 PM

Does this work?

senseofphysicsOP•10/17/24, 7:04 PM

This is a different color boot

senseofphysicsOP•10/17/24, 7:05 PM

senseofphysicsOP•10/17/24, 7:05 PM

The olive green jeans with these boots. They match?

raisinpie•10/17/24, 8:28 PM

looks fine to me

senseofphysicsOP•10/21/24, 1:10 AM

Ok thanks
