Name a better duo than straight-leg jeans and heeled boots? You can't. Particularly when it comes to dressing for the transitional season. And Kylie Minogue has given us her chic take on the pairing, and we're immediately taking inspiration from the superstar singer.

Wearing blue-wash straight-leg jeans and suede heeled boots, she posted a video of her playing ball in Melbourne's AFL stadium, where she later performed for the football final. Straight-leg denim with heeled boots can form the base of a range of autumn outfit ideas, and works for plenty of dress codes and occasions from weekend day trips to evenings out with friends.

She tucked a yellow graphic T-shirt into her relaxed straight-leg jeans, and layered up with a cosy brown cardigan. If you're wondering what type of shoes to invest in as we turn into the cooler season, take notes from Kylie and opt for suede boots.

If you're looking to refresh your current jean rotation, you can't go wrong with straight-leg jeans. Both Kylie and Dannii Minogue have been giving us some seriously good style inspiration over the last few months, especially when it comes to denim. Dannii was even spotted in a campaign with British clothing brand M&S, praising their petite denim range.

Jeans and heeled boots are such a reliable autumn pairing. A straight-leg cut works particularly well with ankle-height styles; however, the best wide-leg jeans are also a flattering choice. What's great about this combination is that it mixes high and low; denim feels laid-back whilst structured boots feel polished and smart.
