What shoes to wear with jeans
Flared, skinny, wide-legged, cropped... there are many styles of jeans, and each one works with a different style of shoe. Follow our guide to figure out what shoes to wear with jeans of any kind.
Skinny jeans
We love the simplicity of pairing skinnies with a classic pair of ballet flats. Animal print and a bright hit of yellow add flair to an uncomplicated shoe.
Jeans, $45, oldnavy.ca. Shoes, $55, gapcanada.ca.
Rolled-up jeans
Wear more sophisticated loafers or oxfords with a rolled-up hem. The juxtaposition of a formal shoe with a casual pant works!
Jeans, $39, joefresh.com. Shoes, $128, bananarepublic.ca.
Wide-legged jeans
Keep the hemlines long on your wide-legged jeans and pair with sturdy platform sandals. Your legs will look like they go on forever!
Jeans, $30, hm.com/ca. Shoes, $100, lechateau.com.
White jeans
For a fair-weather day, cropped white jeans with a textured trim play nice with leopard-print sandals.
Jeans, $165, michaelkors.com. Sandals, $70, aldoshoes.com.
Casual boyfriend jeans
Elevate your menswear-inspired jeans with a polished pair of pumps. The structured shoe balances out baggy denim trousers.
Jeans, $60, gapcanada.ca. Shoes, $60, lechateau.com.
Boot-cut jeans
Wear your boot-cut jeans with high-heeled booties in a similar colour. Ideally, the hem should hit the toe cap to show just the right amount of heel.
Jeans, $188, fidelitydenim.com. Booties, $60, callitspring.com.
