Matching Jeans And Footwear : A Short Guide
Choosing footwear to go with jeans can be a bit tricky. Jeans are a classic look for men and can go with just about anything, but you do have to be careful about your choices when it comes to shoes. Not only color, but style matters too when pairing footwear with jeans and, of course, you always want both to go with whatever top you are wearing too. The following are some tips on how to choose footwear that will look perfect with your jeans:
The first tip is to never wear sneakers meant for the gym, sports or exercise with your jeans, unless you are out walking, going to the gym or doing some other physical activity of course. Gym shoes as part of casual wear was popular in the 90’s, but now there is no quicker way to date your look.
Do update your jeans with street smart sneakers. Unlike those worn out gym shoes, street style sneakers have a sharp, urban look. Look for a pair of leather sneakers with velcro closures. Another popular option is the classic Converse lace up shoe in suede. This is one sneaker that works with just about any casual look.
Loafers are another good shoe to pair with jeans. They are a more dressy shoe that look great when paired with a button-down shirt, but they slip on so are still casual looking at the same time. They are suitable to wear for a wide variety of social situations.
Whether you are going with a sneaker or a loafer look never pair light-colored shoes with dark-colored denim jeans. Wear black or brown shoes with dark jeans and save the lighter shoes for lighter jeans. Your shoes should match the color and tone of your jeans, it is much more flattering and fashionable that way.
Do wear flip flops or sandals in the summer. Nothing says summer casual better then a simple pair of sandals or flip flops. Matched with a pair of cropped jeans and a comfy t-shirt, and you are ready for a relaxing day. You can wear them with full length jeans if you are careful about the hem. Avoid wearing jeans where the hem drags on the ground rather than just brushes it, otherwise you will destroy the hem and look like a mess.
Jeans and boots just seem made for each other. Pair a great set of dress or casual ankle boots with your jeans and you have an instant classic. A good pair of dark brown or beige suede boots with a leather or corded jacket is always a good winter look. Do not wear your work boots unless you are at work.
