I'm a Stylist—I Tell My Clients to Wear These 5 Shoe Trends With Jeans

A couple of years back, VIP Nordstrom stylist Sandy Koszarek shared her favourite trends. While chatting with us, she also shared that one of the key questions her 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, blue jeans included. Below you’ll see some of the shoes in question, including sleek boots and playful flats.

Keep scrolling for more, along with visual inspiration from Koszarek. And if you’re in the mood to shop, there are also product recommendations for each.
