If you’re a woman who loves wearing jeans, then you know that there are a lot of shoes that don’t work well with them. Luckily, there are a few specific types of shoes that will look great with your favorite denim. Here’s what you need to know:
1) The first type of shoe to consider is a wedge sandal. These are simple and classic, and they come in lots of different styles and colors. They’re also very comfortable, so it’s easy to wear them all day long without getting tired or sore feet.
2) The second type of shoe is a flat bootie with laces up the side. These boots usually have ankle straps and come in lots of different colors and styles so you can find exactly what fits your personal style best!
3) Finally, if you’re looking for something even more casual than those two options then try out some sneakers! There are tons of awesome sneaker brands out there right now so you’ll never run out of new ones to try out!
There’s a strong chance that you live in jeans in your off-duty or 9-to-5 life (if you work in a casual office setting, of course). And given your affinity for those tried-and-true blues, there’s also a strong chance that you have a smattering of go-to items you wear with your favorite denim. When it comes to footwear specifically, there are a few specific pairs worth owning to elevate the most common, basic jeans silhouettes such as skinny, straight-leg, and black denim.
