WHAT TO WEAR WITH JEANS COMES DOWN TO ONE DECISION

Are you in a denim daze and want to know what to wear with all the different jeans styles you have? Unlock all your jean outfit potential if you decide on one thing; what shoes do you want to wear? Try this if you get overwhelmed with options and find yourself wearing the same jeans outfit over and over. One decision is easy. Once you know what shoes you want to wear with your jeans you just build backwards. Here are the best jeans and shoe combinations. Get some inspiration from the style boards I made for you with new jeans and shoes from Nordstrom.

WHAT TO WEAR WITH JEANS FROM THE GROUND UP

The average woman owns seven pairs of jeans. I’m guessing you have more. I bet you have even more shoes! Shoes are fun to buy and you can’t complete an outfit without them. When you’re making an outfit, start with your shoes. Ask yourself some questions to get the creative juices flowing. What am I doing today? How long will I be in this outfit? Am I going to be on my feet a lot, or sitting pretty? What’s the weather like today?

JEANS AND SNEAKERS

Straight Leg Jeans | Bodysuit | Cardigan | Sam Edelman Sneakers

If you want to wear sneakers then straight-leg jeans are your jam. I suggest you show a little skin and look for an inseam that shows a little ankle like these.

AG Mari Jeans | Sam Edelman Sneakers| Sweatshirt | Gucci Earrings | Gucci Bracelet | Rebecca Minkoff Mini Crossbody

If it’s cold and you want to wear your sneakers and socks look for longer straight-leg jeans like these from AG that have a little more room at the opening.

JEANS AND FLATS

Don’t ditch your skinny jeans. Update them! Wear them with the same shoes you’d wear with leggings. Ballet flats are everywhere this spring and look great with skinny black jeans.

Trending Ballet Flats

All of these styles from Nordstrom come in more colors.

JEANS AND DAINTY HEELS

AG Farrah Bootcut Jeans | Sweater | Singbacks | Boots | FRAME Blouse | Rag & Bone Vest | See by Chole Bag | Belt | Bony Levy Classic 14k Hoops

Dainty heels are trending. Sling black kitten heels are everywhere this spring and classic stilettos are also a popular pick. Dainty heels will work with straight-leg jeans, but given that they are a little dressier, they look the best classic bootcut flare jeans.

JEANS AND BLOCK HEELS

FRAME Le Slim Palazzo Jeans | Sam Edelman Sandals | Boots | Farm Rio Blouse | Stella McCartney Crossbody | Fringe Earrings

Wide-leg jeans are oversized and have a bigger opening than any other jean style. This leaves a lot of room around your ankle. Balance the bigger shape with block heels that fill that space and don’t disappear under your jeans.

Neutral Block Heels

Neutral block heels are a wardrobe staple. You will wear these styles from Nordstrom out before they go out of style!

WHAT JEANS TO WEAR WITH STATEMENT SHOES

Rails Midi Jean Skirt | Lace Up Sandals | Western Boots | Striped Top | Short Sleeve Sweater (Size Down) | Isabel Marant Belt Bag | Gucci Sunglasses

If you want plenty of space to show off those statement shoes wear them with a jean skirt. Jean skirts like these have made it into the Nordstrom 6 Drops and two of my recent capsule wardrobes.
