What Shoes Should You Wear With Blue Jeans?

Blue jeans feature in pretty much everyone’s wardrobe (apart from my Dad who’s rejected denim since the early 90s’) and are a staple piece for all occasions. But what shoes should you wear with blue jeans?

Sometimes it can be difficult to mix things up when you wear the same pair of blue jeans every day, and you end up reaching for the same pair of mucky trainers no matter where you’re going. Well stop! We’re going to take you through all the shoe combinations you can try with blue jeans, from smart casual to pub nights.

By mixing up your footwear you can up or downgrade your blue jeans for all occasions – apart from maybe weddings, yea, you definitely shouldn’t wear your blue jeans to weddings.

How To Wear Jeans With Trainers?

Basically, you can pick what you like here. Whether it’s Nike and Adidas or Alexander McQueen and Mallet, pick your favourite brands and go from there.

If you would like to mix things up, then we’d suggest going bright and bold with your trainers. With so many options to choose from, don’t be afraid to stand out with some bold looks.

How To Wear Blue Jeans With Dress Shoes?

Start with the best, let’s go through how to upgrade an otherwise casual outfit. Black jeans are the safer choice when it comes to pairing with your dress shoes, but blue can work just as well and sometimes even better.

Wear blue jeans with black shoes that are shiny to ensure you pull off this look. It’s important you polish your shoes, so they really stand out and contrast with your jeans.

Also, try to wear slim-fit or skinny jeans when opting for smart shoes. Distressed styles are also a no-no, your jeans have to be ripped free and fitted.

The final rule with dress shoes is to roll the hem of your jeans up so they don’t touch your dress shoe. We need to be able to see all your footwear with this outfit; two pointy shoes underneath baggy jeans is a bad look.

Chelsea boots, hiking boots, chukka boots – the style you pick doesn’t really matter. All boots with look great with blue jeans. Just try to make sure your jeans aren’t too baggy and don’t have any excess fabric. Similar to dress shoes, we also recommend you roll the hem of your jeans so they don’t touch your boots.
