I consider jeans to be one of the chicest wardrobe staples. They’re no-fail and cool and bring effortlessness to a look. The versatility aspect is also noteworthy. You can team just about anything with that perfect pair of denim. And yes, this goes for shoes as well. On that note, I actually think jeans look even more fashionable (if that’s even possible) if they’re paired with a few specific shoe trends right now. Although, in reality, jeans are chic with basically any shoe style.
Below, you’ll uncover my favourite denim-and-footwear combos. The shoe styles in question are forward and also add an of-the-moment feel to a silhouette. As a preview, I’m talking about everything from trendy boots to the prettiest flats around.
