I Think Jeans Look Even More Fashionable With These Shoe Trends
I consider jeans to be one of the chicest wardrobe staples. They’re no-fail and cool and bring effortlessness to a look. The versatility aspect is also noteworthy. You can team just about anything with that perfect pair of denim. And yes, this goes for shoes as well. On that note, I actually think jeans look even more fashionable (if that’s even possible) if they’re paired with a few specific shoe trends right now. Although, in reality, jeans are chic with basically any shoe style.
Below, you’ll uncover my favorite denim-and-footwear combos. The shoe styles in question are forward and also add an of-the-moment feel to a silhouette. As a preview, I’m talking about everything from trendy boots to the prettiest flats around.
Keep scrolling for visual inspiration showcasing said shoe trends along with a range of denim and footwear shopping recommendations.
Ballet Flats
As I shared before, ballet flats and jeans just look perfect together—cool and of the moment. I especially like puddle jeans with the shoe trend.
Slingbacks
Slingbacks are a classic shoe style that feels particularly trend-forward right now with so many elegant styles rising in popularity. A slightly cropped denim trend feels right here to showcase the full effect of the heel style.
Moto Boots
Want to bring that cool factor to your look? Step into a pair of moto boots with defined hardware. Scrunching jeans into taller boots is especially relevant.
Sneakers (Adidas Sambas/Gazelles)
In the sneaker realm, retro kicks like the Adidas Gazelles and Sambas reign supreme as the top choice to wear with just about anything, including jeans.
Loafers
I love how a pair of loafers can bring instant polish to a look. That perfect pair teams absolutely flawlessly with jeans for an elevated vibe.
