How To Properly Pair Jeans With Footwear
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:
Do not slip on those old gym sneakers with your faded jeans. Though a popular look in the early ’90′s, this is one style that has not made a comeback. Men’s fashion has developed a more refined look, and ratty old sneakers and jeans just are not up to snuff. If you do not want to be considered a shabby dresser, then restrict your gym shoes to the gym.
When it comes to sneakers you want something leather or suede, lace up streets shoes are a classic style good for casual looks but velcro closures are also acceptable. Street style sneakers are just nicer looking than gym style ones and are better for casual outings.
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.
Do not mix your darks and lights. The color of your shoes needs to complement your clothing, not contrast. If you are wearing a pair of dark colored jeans, then pick shoes that are black or dark brown. Lighter colored jeans, like acid wash, should be worn with lighter colored shoes.
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.
Dress or casual ankle-high boots also work well with jeans, work boots are also suitable but they are more appropriate to wear on the job. In the winter pairing a suede or leather jacket with black or beige suede boots can make for quite the classy look.
