VIP Nordstrom stylist Sandy Koszarek previously shared her favorite trends with us. While chatting, she also revealed that one of the questions clients routinely ask her is what shoe trends look best with jeans. So we thought it could be informative to have her offer up some of the combos she suggests—you know, in an effort to potentially inspire your denim and shoe wardrobes.
For the most part, Koszarek often recommends footwear silhouettes that are extremely versatile and could be worn with a range of items, jeans included. Below, you'll see the shoes in question, including of-the-moment boots and a comfortable flats style.
Keep scrolling for more, along with visual inspiration from Koszarek. If you're in the mood to shop, there are also product recommendations for each.
Chunky Loafers
"I suggest a chunky loafer when my clients ask for a trendy shoe to wear with their favorite jeans. Loafers are comfortable and versatile. Plus, it's a fun way to channel the '90s. Try adding a white sock and chunky sweater to complete the look." — Koszarek
Chelsea Boots
"Chelsea boots continue to trend. I suggest my clients wear them with their favorite straight- or wide-leg jeans." — Koszarek
White Sneakers
"White sneakers are a wardrobe essential and can be worn with any style of jeans for a cool and effortless look." — Koszarek
Square-Toe Boots
"I suggest my clients wear a square-toe boot with straight- or wide-leg jeans. These boots are chic and easily elevate every look." — Koszarek
Clogs
"I'm a fan of clogs, so I suggest my clients wear them too. Try wearing them with straight jeans. Add a sock for a warm and trendy look." — Koszarek
