You’re not imagining it—in this day and age, it can feel like whether or not something is considered “dated” can change on a dime—outfit styling specifics included. The one Jenna Ortega just wore for press appearances in NYC proves my point perfectly.
When it comes to choosing what shoes to pair with a jeans outfit, it’s become the fashion-person norm in recent times to choose the “wrong shoe“, as in a clashing, unexpected style as opposed to a matchy-matchy one. Well, now that wearing bold colors and primary-color blocking has become wildly popular, the matchy-matchy look is back. And embracing it in a simple way, just as Ortega did, is the most effortless, chic way to wear it.
Ortega opted to wear denim with a bold, canary-yellow sweater and shoes in the same hue. It makes for a striking jeans outfit, but not one you have to put a lot of thought into. Just take a sweater in any color (one that isn’t a neutral, for maximum effectiveness) and pair it with shoes in the same color. Wear your favorite jeans, and you’re done.
